The subject of the above notice had a remarkably fine physical and mental development and gave promise of more than usual usefulness in Life's great work.  Quiet, unpretentious and diffident, yet vigorous and persevering, he was admired and loved by all who knew him.  Of excellent moral character he became deeply interested in all moral and religious improvements and very punctual in attendance at Sabbath School and church and gave conclusive evidence in his last sickness that the religious instruction to which he had been so attentive a listener had not been lost and his exclamations of love to Christ, of confidence in his mercy, of rejoicing in his salvation, and of hope of a glorious "home beyond the tide," gave satisfactory evidence of the gracious work wrought by the Divine Spirit in his believing heart, and the very large attendance at the funeral in the M.E. Church, the presence of the Trustees, Officers, Teachers and scholars of the Oxford Academy, the school being suspended to follow in sorrow a loved and honored student to his last resting place, attest the appreciation felt for one worthy of their high esteem.  He leaves his deeply afflicted parents and an only brother to mourn with other relatives and friends his premature departure.  May all be able to say "the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord."  F.S.B.

We learn that Mr. Milo Sutliff, a native and for many years a resident of the town of Smyrna [Chenango Co. NY], died at Henry's Bend, Pa. on the 7th inst. of apoplexy, at the age of 62 years.  He was the eldest son of the late Nathan Sutliff, who, for many years resided three miles west of Smyrna village, and for some time was engaged in the mercantile business in Smyrna, with the late Dr. N.B. Mead. The deceased first married a daughter of Russell Case, and for a second wife a daughter of Joshua Pratt, Sen. of Sherburne.  The latter lost her life at Lyons, Iowa, by a lamp explosion.  For a number of years past, Mr. Sutliff has resided in Cleveland, Ohio, but we are not advised whether he was residing there or had removed to the place where he died. Thirty years ago, he was a well-known as any businessman in the northern part of the county, and many will remember him.  He leaves one or two sisters in Smyrna, one in Wheatland, Monroe County, and one or two children by his second wife in Sherburne.
