Henry P. Randall, of Cortland [Cortland Co. NY], son of Hon. Henry S. Randall of that place, and brother of Mrs. David L. Follett, of Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], came to his death by an accident in the town of Cardiff, Onondaga County, on Wednesday lastr.  The Syracuse Courier, of Friday, gives the following particulars of the sad affair:

He was on his way with a horse and buggy to Phoenix with the necessary papers for settling with a firm there.  Near Cardiff he met a team drawing logs.  He attempted to turn out, when he was crowded into the ditch and his carriage upset, he falling down an embankment, striking on the head with the effect already stated.  The miserable wretch who committed the outrage, like a coward, as he must have been, and a dastardly villain as he certainly is, paid no attention whatever to the wounded man, but drove on, leaving him lying by the roadside.  Having gone some distance, he met some parties and told them "there was a man back there and he guessed he was hurt some."  The butcher's boys found him as already stated, after he had laid there about three quarters of an hour and brought him to this city.  His hands were badly frozen and he was unconscious and still remained so at a late hour last night.  His horse was found some four miles from the scene of the outrage.  His father, Hon. H.S. Randall, arrived Thursday morning and is now with him at the hospital.  Mr. Randall lingered until Friday, when he expired from the effects of his injuries.  The blow is a severe one to his relatives and friends, wo have the sincere sympathies of the community.

Death

On Monday, Jan. 22d, Mrs. Edith Walker, relict of the late Mr. Henry Walker, was freed from the great suffering which she had endured for nearly two years.  She had scarcely been married three years, and lived before his marriage, and for some time after at Columbus [Chenango Co. NY].  At the time of her decease, she was with her mother, near Morrisville [Otsego Co. NY], with whom she had resided about a year.  Her remains were brought to Sherburne to be deposited beside those of her husband in the Episcopal cemetery.  The death of the estimable lady was longed for by herself, and even her friends who valued her highly cannot wish her back to endure hopeless affliction.  She lies in peace where the weary are at rest.  Her friends may be comforted with the thought that she "sleeps in Jesus."  J.L.B.
