In this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], on the 1st inst., Jane Cameron [Barnard] wife of Mr. F.E. Barnard, aged 50 years.  This patient sufferer through a protracted and painful illness, has at last been called to her rest.  It was indeed an edifying scene to witness the meek submission, the trust, the endurance and the fortitude with which this dear disciple of Christ met all her sufferings.  With devout faith did she cling to her Saviour and feel the strength which He alone can supply.  Of a temperament singularly well balanced, firm yet gentle, sound in judgment, constant in friendship, as a wife and mother most devoted, as a friend and neighbor full of acts of substantial but unpretending kindness; her departure creates a melancholy void in all the valued relations of life.  The writer of this sad notice can truly say that a neighborly friendship of more than twenty years was never dimmed by the smallest passing cloud.  Though suffering much and long through an exhausting sickness, she at last passed calmly and quietly away.  The Pastor, the Chruch, the fellow members of the same household of faith, and society, will deeply feel her loss.  May God sustain the stricken household so greatly bereaved, by the comforts and solaces of His grace.

Clarissa has gone to the home of the blest, / To that Home, of all homes the sweetest and best; / Where the wicked from troubling forever shall cease, / And all sighing is hushed, in sweet anthems of peace.

Her sweet face on earth we shall never see more; / All suffering and sorrow, with her is now o'er. / Tho' great is our loss, still greater is her gain / That thought should suffice to banish all pain.

Her seat is now vacant and hushed is her voice / Which so late in the buoyance of youth did rejoice; / But were blest in believing she's gone to that "home sweet home," / Where all who have loved her will finally come.

Mourn not bereaved husband, heave not the deep sigh, / Nor let grief's bitter tear, dim in sadness, the eye, / Submissively bow to "Our Father's " own will / To the wild throbs of sorrow say, "Peace, peace, be still."

Silver Wedding:  The residence of Hon. Charles Mason was the scene of a happy gathering on Monday evening of last week, on the occasion of the Silver Wedding or the 25th anniversary of his marriage.  There was a full attendance of the friends of the family in the vicinity as well as from abroad, and the gifts presented were magnificent and costly.  The "Silver Wedding" service was performed by Rev. Dr.  Tyler, of St. Thomas church, assisted by Rev. Mr. Smith, of Cazenovia. The attendance and presents were a good indication of the respect and esteem in which the worthy couple are held. We join with their many friends in wishing that the current of their lives may glide smoothly along to and far beyond that period of life when the silver lining puts on the golden tinge, and all shall respect and love them in a ripe old age.  Hamilton Republican

Deaths

In this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], on the 28th ult. Dea.

The funeral sermon by Dr. Paddock, of this village, was affecting, and worthy of the aged divine, who delivered it. The death of this lady has deeply afflicted Mr. Miller, and he deeply feels the loss of a wife tenderly loved.  Binghamton Repblican 28th ult.
