Emma has now crossed the river and there have been happy greetings on the other shore. During her long sickness, her sufferings were very great at times, but she endured all with patience and resignation. None but those who watched over her could realize the agony she endured. But her end was Peace, Peace, Peace. May the little one never forget her mother's face, and ever trust in Jesus' unerring judgment and true goodness, which sanctioned the separation, and it must be right. May, the smitten husband, the bereaved parents, and saddened brothers and sisters, feel that it was the Lord, not disease, that hath taken her away; and that death relieved her of pain, to be welcomed by her Saviour to immortal joys, where there is no more death.
Twas God who lent her to us, / To cherish, love, and keep. / Twas God who took her from us / We will not pine and weep.
But we will live that when we die, / To us it may be given, / To meet our Emma in the skies, / And dwell with her in Heaven.
BLIVEN: In McDonough, June 20th, of cancer in the face, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Bliven, widow of the late S.R. Bliven, aged 76 years.

All her family, except one son had preceded her to the grave, and yet she had been graciously supported, and she was enabled to bear patiently her long protracted sufferings, and calmly to view her approaching end, for which he so anxiously was looking, having with the Apostle Paul "a desire to depart and be with Christ." Her end was peace.

WHEELER: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], July 5th, of cancer of the face Mrs. Theresa H. Wheeler wife of Jed R. Wheeler, Jr., aged 48 years.
All who knew her will be pained to learn that Mrs. Teresa H. Wheeler, wife of J.R. Wheeler, Jr., of this village died at her residence on East Main Street, on Sunday afternoon last, of that dread disease, cancer. Sometime last winter she was attacked with what she supposed to be neuralgia of the face, and for several weeks was treated for that painful trouble. Too soon, however, the disease developed into cancer of the most malignant type. The highest medical skill was summoned to attend her, but to no purpose, and she was finally taken to New York in the vain hope that relief might be obtained. At first the physicians there gave hope, but soon arrived at the conclusion that her case was incurable, and after a stay in the city of two or three weeks, she was brought home to die. The disease made steady progress, and all that could be done was to alleviate, as far as possible, her sufferings. About two o'clock on Sunday afternoon she peacefully died, surrounded by relatives and friends, who had ministered to her every want during her long and painful illness.
Mrs. Wheeler was a kind and affectionate wife and mother, and a generous and kindly neighbor and friend. Her sad death is deeply mourned by the entire community, and the afflicted family have the sincere sympathy of all. The funeral services will be held at the house on Thursday afternoon at four o'clock.

A Kansas Tragedy
On yesterday afternoon Charles Glenn was arraigned before Justice Patton on the charge of manslaughter in the third degree for the killing of Henry Dwight Barnett with a stone. The evidence as elicited at the coroner's inquest was presented along with the testimony of several other witnesses.
Among those present at the examination was Lieut. W.J. Barnett, a brother of the deceased, who had come from Oneida, N.Y. [Madison Co.] to attend to the interment of the murdered man and the settling up of his business. From him a Times representative learned the following facts concerning his brother, which give a far different character to him than was at first known.
Henry Dwight Barnett was the eldest son of a very prominent and wealthy physician of Oneida, New York, and a member of a family highly respected and widely known. He was a graduate of Oberlin, Ohio, was 38 years of age, unmarried, and had spent a greater portion of his life away from home, wandering through the country incognito, his family being uninformed of his whereabouts. In his habits he was inclined to intoxication, but otherwise was an agreeable, accomplished gentleman. After completing his studies at college, he enlisted in the twenty-sixth Regiment of New York volunteers as a lieutenant, afterward entering the cavalry service and passing through the great Memphis siege. Since the war he has been roving about the country doing nothing in particular but keeping himself concealed from his people. About one year ago he came to Kansas City and has been employed by different parties as a common laborer.
Last August his father died leaving a large estate to be divided among three children. Advertisements were published throughout the newspapers of the entire country without furnishing any clue to the doubly afflicted family as to where their absent relative was. They knew nothing of him until the telegraphic message was received acquainting them of his tragic end.
Deceased, was a nephew of Postmaster Barnett, of this village, and he will be remembered by many of our citizens, as a clerk in his uncle's store in this place, some fifteen years since. He was at that time a promising young man and made many warm friends during his residence here.
