PHILLIPS: At the residence of his father, in Coventry [Chenango Co. NY], on the morning of Nov. 20th, Charles E. [Phillips] second son of Edgar and Hannah Phillips, aged 25 years.
Young Phillips possessed in more than an ordinary degree those qualities of mind and heart calculated to secure esteem and friendship and though somewhat reserved in manner and retiring in habit, he did, by his noble and manly qualities, most warmly attach to himself all who were in any degree intimate with him. About six months since, he was united in marriage to Gertrude, only daughter of J.S. Parker, of this town; and though he was then, and had been for some years, in delicate health, having settled pulmonary disease, he was yet looking hopefully forward to many years of happy wedded life. While his death was so sudden that he refused to believe himself in any immediate danger, up to the very day before his decease, yet, when the truth was realized by him, that his end was close at hand, his faith in his Savior at once and with remarkable vigor sustained him, so that calmly and even triumphantly he was enabled to meet the dying hour.
Mr. Noyes Patrick, of Butternuts [Otsego Co. NY], arrived at Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY], last Wednesday on the 1 P.M. train. He was overcome with fatigue by his walk from the depot and stopped at the Marsh House and sent for Dr. Yale, under whose care he has been for some time past. While conversing he remarked that it was "growing dark" and immediately fell into the arms of the Doctor. An examination showed that his pulse had stopped beating and that life had departed. Mr. Patrick was 52 years of age and had been afflicted with a disease of the heart for some time. He leaves a wife and four children.

Death of Judge Campbell
Hon. Samuel Campbell, died at Stanwix Hall, in Albany [Albany Co. NY], on the 28th ult. He belonged at Cherry Valley [Otsego Co. NY] and was one of the old lawyers of the State, who by a steady devotion to his profession, had accumulated a fortune and retired to the picturesque valleys of Otsego County to enjoy it. He descended from the sturdy Americans of the revolutionary era, although, as his name indicates, his family was of Scottish origin. His paternal grandfather, Col Campbell, of Cherry Valley, served in the early wars, and his mother was a Putnam of the same sturdy stock with the famous Connecticut general. His ancestors lived in Otsego in the days when it was perilous border country, and his grandmother, with her five children, was at one time carried away into Canada by the Indians, among whom they lived two years. Coming from such a race, young Campbell inherited qualities which could not fail to win success in a country like ours. He was favored with a good education in his youth, and early chose the legal profession. He went to New York city, and by his industry and talents made a fortune in 20 years and returned to the hills in which his youth was cradled, to enjoy a life of serene dignity and ease. He purchased a large estate near the site of the parental acres on which he was born, and for many years has passed his days amid the many pleasures and elegances which a cultivated man can easily find or make in such a situation.

Marriage
In Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], on the 24th ult. by Rev. J.D. Pope, Mr. Chas. T. Thurston to Miss Helen L. Hall, all of Norwich.
Death
A young man named Williams dropped dead while attending a dance in Tully a week ago last Friday. He was on the floor dancing, when he made the remark to his lady that he felt faint and would go below. He went downstairs without assistance, sat down in a chair and died. Owing to the peculiar circumstances of the case, the matter has created considerable interest. From what we can learn it seems that his body remained warm for several days, and therefore his interment has been postponed twice, and the body subjected to bleeding, and some assert that the body was warm even at the time of burial. But we are inclined to doubt that statement. Mr. Williams was buried one week from the day he died. Cortland Democrat.
