The deceased was a vender of spectacles, and on a tour through that section. The supposition is that he died very suddenly, as he had evidently sat down and expired without a struggle. His goods, money and watch were all found with him. He had been dead about eleven days. There was a rumor here that the person spoken of above was a Mr. Lowenthall, a well-known jewelry peddler, who travels through this section which turns out, to be untrue, much to the satisfaction of his friends.

Golden Wedding: Mr. and Mrs. G.D. Phillips of Coventry [Chenango Co., NY], celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage on the 2d inst. All their children and grandchildren were present, and nearly a hundred friends and invited guests joined in the happy reunion. It was a golden wedding, indeed. The trees golden with the first touch of autumn, stood in the mellow light of October, and external nature, serene and mature was in pleasing harmony with the day, which gathered into itself the rich memories and sacred associations of fifty years. A bountiful repast, spread with a generous hand, sentiments from full hearts, given and responded to, poems and short addresses from friends and guests, and not least in interest and importance, a written sketch, by Mr. Phillips himself, of many interesting incidents and events of local and social history, scattered through the many years of his life in Coventry, made friends and guests oblivious of time, until the golden day had set in golden light, perchance to furnish the golden link in the chain of events to be recounted at some future golden wedding. Some very choice gifts testified the thoughtful regard of relatives

Sad Affair in Binghamton - Boy Killed
Chenango American, Greene, NY, October 3, 1867
On Tuesday afternoon of last week an affray occurred in Binghamton [Broome Co., NY], between a boy named Casper Friment, formerly of this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], and a boy named Judson Paddock, by which the latter came to his death. It seems that a man named Wm. A. Tyler, living on Chenango St., near where it crosses the canal, had employed Casper to work on his premises, and especially directed him to keep the boys from stealing his butternuts. On the afternoon mentioned above, a number of little boys gathered on the canal bridge, and called him names, whereupon Casper told them they must stop, or he would "lick them."
Paddock hearing this threat, told the boys that if Friment attempted to "lick" them he would have to "lick" him first, which caused a rencounter between the two, during which Paddock was hit by a stone weighing about half a pound, just above the ear, felling him to the ground. They were finally separated, and Paddock was taken home. Soon After, Mrs. Paddock had Casper arrested for assault and battery, and lodged in jail.
About 4 o'clock the next morning Paddock died, and the coroner's jury, which was summoned, brought in a verdict that his death was caused by the effects of a blow upon the head by a stone thrown by Friment.
Casper's trial was to take place the fore part of this week, the result of which we have not learned.
