BORDEN: At Milford, Seward County, Nebraska, of mortification of the bowels, Mr. William D. Borden, aged 43 years and 3 days, formerly a resident of Norwich [Chenango Co. NY].

A work train on the New Berlin branch [Chenango Co. NY] of the N.Y. & O.M. railroad, ran over and instantly killed a man by the name Edson Mudge, yesterday (Sunday, May 3d) at or about half past nine A.M., near the crossing at the Pine Woods, about two miles below this village [Mt. Upotn, Chenanog Co. NY].  Deceased was walking upon the track, and it is supposed, did not hear the approached train until the engineer sounded the alarm when about seventy-five feet from him.  He was, or seemed to be, bewildered and did not make any effort to escape.  He was quite deaf, and about fifty-eight years of age.  Coroner Spencer held an inquest.  Result - "No one to blame."  Public opinion is quite the reverse.  The facts are, the railroad crosses the highway three times in about half a mile, and no signals were made by the engineer, on Saturday, May 2d.  One more of the links that bind the present with the past, has passed to "that bourne from where there is no return."  

Mrs. Jemima Van Dusan, relict of Peter Van Dusen, died in this village, aged 94 years, having lived in the town of Guilford [Chenango Co. NY] over sixty years.

At Coventry [Chenango Co. NY], April 13th, Mrs. Lydia M. Phillips, wife of James M. Phillips and only daughter of Col. Rufus Chandler in the 48th year of her age.

In the death of Mrs. Phillips a large circle of relatives and friends are called to mourn the loss of one of their number who by her many noble qualities of mind and heart had won high praise in her -?-.  A true and noble Christian woman has gone to her reward.  Though for many years a great sufferer from a disease which a large portion of the time prevented her from participating in the more active duties of society for which she was eminently qualified - yet her heart and mind were ever open to encourage and aid whatever tended to promote the interests of the community in which she lived, and especially in the church of which she had from her early youth been a consistent and honored member.  Her earnest prayer that she might have an easy and peaceful death was most especially answered. While for days her suffering had been intense, her last hour was peaceful and quiet, and as the summer does pass away so she went quietly to her rest.
