MINOR: In Coventry [Chenango Co. NY], April 15th, Mr. James Minor, aged 60 years.
In the removal by death of Mr. Minor, the community in which he lived, as well as his family, have sustained a serious loss. Mr. Minor was born and had always resided on the place where he died, and though his life was passed chiefly in the quiet of his own home, and its immediate neighborhood, being a man who always shunned notoriety, yet that life was always characterized by probity and uprightness. He was a man of such strict integrity, and of such uniform and consistent piety, that all who were in any good degree acquainted with him felt and said upon his departure, that a good man had gone. In his death was furnished a striking illustration of the words of inspiration: "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." During his last hours his mind was remarkably clear and vigorous. after making such disposition of his effects as he desired, and calmly bidding adieu to his family and friends present, and leaving appropriate messages for those absent, with entire resignation he yielded his spirit to Him who gave it. Mr. Minor has left a wife and two daughters, with a large circle of other relatives and friends to mourn his death.

Sweet Little Edna: "The fairest flower will soonest fade, / The sweetest rose decay. / The dearest idol of our hearts / Will soonest pass away.
There is anguish in the household, / It is desolate and lone, / For our precious little Edna / From the parent nest has flown.
We miss the music of her voice / That echoed wild and free. / Making melody in our hearts, / So mirthful, full of glee.
Forever closed, the sparkling eye, / And pale the rosy cheek, / And silent now those ruby lips / We list to hear her speak.
While all her little treasures / Lie scattered at our feet, / That lovely form is missing / Which made home joy complete.
We cannot check the tear drops, / That fall like summer rain, / But they never, never can restore / Our darling back again.
Dear Edna, bud of early springtime / Cut down in one brief hour / It seemed that earth had never smiled / Upon a fairer flower.
But the death angel came so softly / Across the dark, cold wave, / And bore in his arms our treasure / No earthly arm could save.
We know she is safely sheltered / Within the Lord's fold. / Oh, then prepare to meet her / Where treasures wax not old.
She has just passed on before, / Her happy spirit free, / By the banks of the beautiful river /The dear one is waiting for thee.

Deaths
Mt. Upton [Chenango Co. NY]: The widow of the late Richard Morris died on May 1st, at the residence of her daughter in New York City. Her remains were brought to Morris [Otsego Co. NY] for interment, the funeral taking place from the Morris memorial chapel.
In Memoriam: Died on the morning of the 24th ult. after a short illness of brain fever, James N. [Pendleton] only son of Nathan and Elizabeth B. Pendleton, in the twentieth year of his age.
This young man removed so early in life, deserves more than a passing notice. Kind and amiable in disposition and of gentle manners, of great energy and fortitude beyond his years, he had drawn to himself many dear friends, and was fast making to himself a name among the votaries of art, notwithstanding the impediments and pains incident to a feeble constitution too often overworked. The evidence of skill appearing in the few paintings left by him, as vigorous blades of corn remaining left here and there, tell what the harvest would have been, but for that untimely frost - blasting the hopes of fond parents and friends - leaving pleasantly cherished expectations to wither like opening flowers upon the severed stalk. Thus the young and old orderless swell the funeral throng. Yet to those who have kept the whiteness of the soul, the feet of Death are beautiful, kindly opening the gati on the way of sublime progression from this dim spot to the abodes of the beatified, and in the Ages to the Divine intelligence.
