The large circle of friends and acquaintances of Rev. A.G. Clark, of DeRuyter, will be pained to learn of his sudden death, which occurred at his residence on Friday afternoon last. Returning from a short trip through the western part of this County, where he had filled appointments for preaching, he was attacked on Monday with what was thought to be a slight cold, which continued to trouble him, keeping him confined to his house, but no serious apprehensions were felt until within a few minutes previous to his death, which resulted from congestion of the lungs. His funeral was attended on Monday, by a large concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors. Deceased was born in Preston, in this County, and was a son of the venerable Alfred Clark, who still resides there and a brother of William W. Clark, of this village. He was a zealous preacher, of the Universalist denomination, and much beloved by all who knew him. His age was sixty-two years, and he leaves a wife and one son.

An old gentleman named William B. Sterling, died in Binghamton [Broome Co. NY] on the 25th ult. of heart disease. In attempting to cross the canal on the thin ice, he broke through, but was rescued by a friend, with only his lower limbs wet. He was assisted to a neighboring office, to dry himself, and before reaching it fell. Seated near the stove, his face soon turned purple, and he died before medical help could reach him. The coroner saw fit to call a jury and hold an inquest, and the remarkable verdict was given "death at the hands of Providence and not otherwise."
A little daughter of A.H. Gill of Binghamton [Broome Co. NY], was burned to death on the evening of the 25th ult. Her mother was taking the washing form the line, and the child, in playing with the fire, ignited her clothes, and after five hours of suffering, died at 10 o'clock the same evening. She was three years old.
News Item
We are pained to learn that Rev. D.R. Carrier, pastor of the M.E. Church in Guilford [Chenango Co. NY], has at last been pronounced insane, and was on Monday removed to the Lunatic Asylum in Utica [Oneida Co. NY]. He has been an inmate of the Asylum before, we are informed, and his present trouble was undoubtedly brought upon him by a severe attack of typhoid fever, through which he has recently passed, together with sickness and death in his family. In another column will be found a notice for a Donation Visit, for the benefit of his afflicted family, which is to be held at the M.E. Chruch in Guilford, on Wednesday of next week. The appeal to the sympathies of a generous people will not be in vain.
