WOOD: In Smyrna [Chenango Co. NY], on the 7th inst., Dea. Julius Wood aged 74 years.
We are pained to announce this week the death of our venerable townsman, Deacon Julius Wood, who died at is late residence in Smyrna (only a few rods from where he was born), on the evening of the 7th inst. He was born in Smyrna August 8th, 1799. May 13th, 1831, he was married to Amanda Billings, and through God's providence has reared a family of ten children, eight of whom are now living. At the early age of four years, he was converted to Christ and commenced the Christian career of love and labor. He took an active part in the organization of the Frist Congregational Church of Smyrna on June 26th, 1824, was enrolled upon the records of the church at that time, and at his death was the only original surviving member. He was elected Deacon of the Chruch July 3d, 1846, which position he continued to hold till the time of his death. Of his faithfulness to the church, to all its ordinances and appointments, and in all its work, his life has spoken. His last words to them were, "tell the church I wish them prosperity." Of love for all Christians, and willingness to engage with them in the Masters' work, he has left a noble example, and his life stands as a monument to his memory. His dying testimony, "my work is done; I am at rest, all is peace," are fit symbols of the true type of his Christian character. The funeral took place on Monday from his late residence where a large concourse of relatives and friends gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of the departed one. His remains were interred in the village cemetery at Earlville. Thus, has passed away all that was mortal of our friend and brother Julius Wood. "Death is swallowed up in victory."

HUTCHINSON - COSSORT: In Morris [Otsego Co. NY], on the 6th, by Rev. B.A. Russell, Mr. L. Hutchinson to Miss Mary Cossort, both of Butternuts [Otsego Co. NY].
A Golden Wedding
We take the following from a Wellsboro, Penn. newspaper: The children of Orson and Caroline Webb two highly respected residents of Delmar Township, gave their parents happy surprise last Saturday - that day being the fiftieth anniversary of their married life. The sons presented their father with a very fine gold headed cane, while the daughters gave their mother a pair of gold bowed spectacles. The informal and unexpected nature of this family reunion so far as the aged couple were concerned, made the occasion all the more enjoyable.
Mr. and Mrs. Webb were married at Oxford, Chenango County, N.Y., and have been unusually fortunate in their wedded life. They have had eight children born to them - four sons and four daughters. The eldest son was scalded when fourteen months old and lived but twelve hours. The remaining seven children all are living, and have presented to their parents twenty-seven grandchildren, who are all living but one, a son of Mr. R.B. Webb of this village who died from an injury.
