We are pained to learn that George A. Cary, one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens, died at his residence in Oxford, on Wednesday last, of disease of the heart. Although he had been in feeble health for some months past, he was able on the day previous to his death to be about his house, and to oversee and advise in regard to his business; and his friends as well as himself indulged strong hopes that, with the opening spring, he would be so far restored as to aid his family by his counsel, and comfort them with his cheerful presence for a few more years. But his disease (possibly accelerated by overexertion) had reached its climax, and he was stricken down, and expired on the following morning.
Mr. Cary was born May 8th, 1793, in Union, Broome County [NY], and the following year came with his father, Judge Cary, to Oxford, where (with the exception of a few years spent in Houston, Texas) he has since resided. While discharging such public duties as were imposed upon him, with fidelity, his taste and inclinations led him to seek pleasure chiefly in the cultivation of his farm, and in the comforts of his home, where his family always found him a kind and indulgent husband and father, the community a good citizen, and his friends in intelligent and hospitable gentleman.
A residence of seventy-five years in Oxford made him a witness of the main events which constitute the history of the Chenango valley from its earliest settlement, and has left for him a record of intelligence, probity, and hospitality, well known to most of our readers. His funeral was largely attended from his late residence on Friday afternoon.

A frightful accident occurred between Homer and Truxton [Cortland Co., NY], on Tuesday. A young man named Hezekiah Rounds had harnessed a young horse before a covered carriage, for the first time, to carry his mother and sister to Cortland [Cortland Co., NY]. Before they were ready to enter the carriage, young Rounds removed the bridle for the purpose of taking off the halter, when the horse, catching a sight of a carriage top, became frightened and reared, and ran, throwing Rounds upon the ground and trampling him until he was horribly mutilated. He lingered in great agony until late in the afternoon, when he died. This is the fourth death in the family within a year, three of which were by violence. Cortland co. Democrat.
