In Memoriam: A few weeks since we chronicled the death at Waterville, N.Y. [Oneida Co.], of Mr. A.W. Warren, and also printed a brief obituary notice of the deceased. Mr. Warren, though known to but few of our readers, was one of the most distinguished artists Chenango County has ever produced. Although working under many difficulties, he achieved an enviable reputation, especially among his fellow artists.
At the time of his death, he was a member of the Artists' Fund Society, of New York City. The object of this Society is to provide aid for the families of deceased artists. The fund for the purpose is raised by the annual voluntary contribution from each member, of a picture of the value of at least seventy-five dollars.
When the death of Mr. Warren was announced, the members of the Board of Control of the Artists' Fund Society, who were yet in the city, held a meeting on Wednesday evening, July 23, 1873, at the residence of Mr. D. Huntington, and passed the following Resolution:
Resolved: The Artists' Fund Society having heard of the death of their late fellow member, A.W. Warren, would express their deep sorrow for the loss of a highly valued friend and true artist. Having been a member from the beginning, he was always faithful to its interest, and a constant contributor of works of genuine merit. The members have lost an esteemed friend, and the circle of arts an accomplished painter. We would offer our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. Present, Messrs, R.W. Hubbard, I.M. Falconer, W. Whitteridge, D. Huntington, A. Laurie.

Death of Dr. Milton Barnett: The Oneida papers of last week announce the death of this gentleman, which took place at his residence in that village [Oneida, Madison Co. NY] on the morning of the 6th inst., in the 68th year of his age. Removing from Vermont, his native State, he settled in Morrisville, Madison County [NY], in 1814, and in 1838 commenced the practice of medicine, which profession he followed for some twenty-five years. In 1855 he was elected Sheriff of that county. He removed to Oneida in 1859 and in 1862 received the appointment of U.S. Assessor, which position he held for some years. During his residence in Oneida, he had become identified with many of the village enterprises; had been one of the Trustees of the Oneida Savings Bank; was an equal owner in the Central Bank; and at the time of his death was a trustee of the new Cemetery organization. Deceased was an elder brother of Ezra B. Barnett, Esq., of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY].

A little son of Henry Hammond, living in the west part of this town [Morris, Otsego Co. NY], about the middle of June, while running, bruised his right foot by stepping on a stone. As it was not a bad bruise not much was thought of it, the usual curatives were applied, but he walked on his toes and occasionally complained of his foot. About two weeks since he could not open his mouth but a little, and it hurt him to swallow. On Thursday night, the 17th ult., he also complained of pain in the leg and shoulder, had spasms through the night, but seemed as well as usual the succeeding day. The spasms returned again on Friday night and caused some alarm. Dr. Gibson was called and pronounced it a case of lockjaw caused by a stone bruise. Dr. Kennier was called as counsel. He probed the stone bruise and found a small gravel stone and small piece of rotten wood. Dr. Fox and Hazard were also called as counsel, but all of no avail. The little sufferer lingered until Tuesday the 29th, when death closed the scene. Morris Chronicle

Death
We copied an item from a Cortland paper last week in regard to the death of Robert Fish, who resided near Solon Corners [Cortland Co. NY] but have since learned more of the particulars from friends of the deceased, who resided in this county. One of them has received a letter which ways:
"Cortland, August 5: It is with sadness that I now sit down to tell you of the very sudden death of Robert. He went to McGrawville after a load of fence posts last Friday morning. He was engaged in fencing the railroad through Solon. On his way home he fell from the load upon the whiffletrees. The horses ran and he was dragged a long distance and instantly killed. It pains me to tell you that this terrible sorrow was brought upon us as a consequence of the use of liquor"
One jaw was broken, also an arm and a leg. An inquest was held, and the person who sold him the liquor testified to the fact. We are informed that the case will be prosecuted under the civil damage law. It is a terrible warning against drunkenness.
