Little Lillie, that darling flower, / Has gone to dwell in Eden's bower; / Her loving sister she will meet, / And holy angels there will greet.
Her sufferings here were great, we know, / While in this world of pain and woe; / But she has gone where sorrows may not come, / In Heaven above, her peaceful home.
Her body sleeps in the silent grave, / But Christ has said to her soul, "Arise," / And she, with that sister who had gone before, / Awaits her parents in the skies.

A most painful and fatal accident occurred in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], on Tuesday morning of last week. Mahlon [Gridley], youngest son of Orrin Gridley, Esq., aged ten years, was engaged in rolling a meadow upon his father's farm, with a log roller drawn by a pair of horses. While standing on the platform back of the roller, with the lines around one arm and his neck, it is supposed that he lost his balance and fell off, when the horses commenced backing, which drew the lines tightly around his neck, strangling him almost instantly. Not more than five minutes previous to his condition being discovered, he was seen by his father, who was working with hired help within a few rods of him, at which time everything was going on well. We learn that the unfortunate lad came near losing his life last winter, while engaged in getting the log from the woods, from which this same roller was made.
Killed by Lightning: On the evening of Thursday (19th inst.), Mrs. Samuel Haight, living near Sidney Center [Delaware Co., NY], was instantly killed by lightning. The fluid passed near the house and hit a pear tree, and at the same time passed through the top of the window burning holes in the curtain, and instantly killing Mrs. Haight. Her niece, Miss Hutchinson, from Gilbertsville, was very near her at the time, but escaped uninjured. No marks of the fluid were found upon the person of the deceased except on one of her toes.
