The Binghamton Times [Broome Co. NY] of Monday gives the following particulars of a railroad accident in that city on Saturday evening last, whereby a brakeman on the train named Peter Wheeler, a resident of Greene [Chenango Co. NY] lost his life: The Utica freight and passenger train which is due here at 6:35 p.m. had deposited its passengers at the depot and was backing down into the yard to distribute the cars. When near the freight house, Peter Wheeler, chief brakesman of the train, stepped between the forward car and the locomotive to pull the coupling pin out, in order to let the cars run down on a sidetrack. Unfortunately, he stepped between the rail and a guard rail and before he could extricate his foot, the locomotive pushed him down and passed over him. His head and neck were cut completely off close to the shoulders, and the right leg, below the knee, was stripped entirely of flesh. His remains were immediately removed to the freight house and word was sent to his brother, who is clerk in Rick's clothing store, on Court Street. A telegram was sent to his wife and parents who reside in Greene, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], and they arrived here on the express the same evening. None of the family were permitted to view the remains. The Railroad company furnished a funeral casket and the Superintendent of the Utica division, Mr. Geo. Thompson, provided an extra train yesterday morning for the removal of the body to Greene. Several relatives residing in this city accompanied the family of deceased to that place. At the time of the departure of the train, the platform of the depot and the streets leading to it were thronged with people. Deceased was about twenty-six years of age and had been in the employ of the company for about two years. He was a kindhearted and amiable young man and had many friends on the road.

Many of our readers will remember the subject of the following notice from the Palmyra Journal, as being the niece of Mrs. Dr. Avery of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co.

"As announced under tis appropriate heading in another column, the marriage ceremony of I.E. Williams of Buffalo [Erie Co. NY] and Miss "Dot" Flower, took place at the residence of the lady's parents, in Palmyra [Wayne Co. NY], yesterday, at 3 P.M., the 12th inst., in the presence of a few friends and relatives of the happy couple. Every incident connected with the ceremony and entertainment was pleasant and enjoyable. Kind friends at home and abroad showed their affectionate regard, and showered gifts both elegant and useful upon the fair young bride. The parlors were adorned with rare, fresh flowers whose fragrance filled the air with an odor of summer sweetness. After the hearty congratulations of the assembled guests, refreshments of great variety and excellence were served, and under a shower of good wishes, adieux, old shoes and kisses, the young husband and wife launched fourth upon the voyage of life together. God bless 'em!."
Death
BLAKE: In Colesville, Broome County [NY], February 18, Sarah J. [Blake], wife of Andrew P. Blake, aged 24 years. Death always brings sorrow and sadness to our homes, but in the Christian's death there is hope mingling with the sorrow, and the heart is not all sadness. Mrs. Blake died the death of the Christian. She had many things to attach her to life, many ties to bind her here that cost a severe struggle to break. But she surrendered all in cheerful submission to the will of God, and though death came suddenly at last, it found her ready, and without fear, smiling and singing, "To die is gain," she fell asleep in Jesus.

Marriages
At the residence of the bride's father, March 12th, by Rev. J.H. Sage, Mr. James H. Allen, of North Fenton [Broome Co. NY], to Miss Hannah M. [McChappel] daughter of John McChappel, Esq., of Greene [Chenango Co. NY].

Death
In Smithville [Chenango Co. NY], March 13th, Mr. Thomas Rose, a soldier in the war of 1`812, aged 83 years.
Another Veteran Gone: One by one the old men are passing away. To the list of those already gone, must now be added the name of Mr. Thomas Rose, of Smithville, who was born April 15th, 1790, and died March 13th, 1873, having almost completed his eighty-third year.
He was identified with the early history of our country, having borne arms as a soldier in the war of 1812, for which service he received a pension during the later years of his life. When the war was closed, he removed to this county, and located in the town of Smithville, of which he was a resident for fifty-seven years.
He was a man of remarkable vigor, possessing a bodily constitution which seemed to be proof against disease. For the last sixty years, and perhaps longer, with the exception of a period of three weeks, he was entirely free from sickness. The first indications of his last sickness were apparent less than three days before his death, and so great was his bodily strength, that he dressed himself on the morning of his last day on earth, occupied his usual place in the household, and while sitting in his chair, with his head resting on the shoulder of his eldest son, calmly fell asleep in death. As we think of his long life, and peaceful death, we cannot but repeat the words of one of our American poets:
"And I am glad that he has lived thus long, / And glad that he has gone to his reward; / Nor deem that kindly nature did him wrong, / Softly to disengage the vital cord, / When his weak hand grew palsied, and his eye / Dim with the mists of age, it was his time to die."

Death
PALMER: On East Hill, in this town [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY], March 8, 1873, of typhoid fever, Daniel W. Palmer. Mr. Palmer had resided with Hiram Tillotson, on East Hill, in this town, for the last 10 years, and had come to be regarded as one of the family. By his industry and economy he had become well-to-do as to this world's goods, and by his genial and friendly deportment had not only endeared himself to the family with whom he resided, but to the community in which he lived, and his untimely death is deeply deplored.
