Mt. Upton [Chenango Co. NY]: Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Marsh had a China Wedding party [20th wedding aniversary], Monday evening, the 28th ult. The display of presents was very fine. We noticed particularly a very beautiful gold band tea set, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Marsh and daughter. At ten o'clock the guests sat down to a bountifully spread table, beautifully decorated with fruits and flowers, and judging by the excellence of the viands, we should say that the bride had profited by her twenty years' experience. The delightful entertainment ended by all the guests joining in singing the lovely hymn "Praise God form whom all blessings flow," followed by an appropriate prayer by Rev. S.W. Weiss."

WHITE: In Pharsalia [Chenango Co. NY], Sept. 22, Helen [White] only child of O.H. White, aged 8 months and 18 days.
"Weep not for those / Who sink within the arms of death / Ere yet the chilling wint'ry breath / Of sorrow o'er them flows
But weep for them who here remain. / The sorrowful heritors of pain. / Condemned to see each bright joy fade. / And mark grief's melancholy shade / Flung o'er Hope's fairest rose"

Marriages
Coventry [Chenango Co. NY], October 14th: Editor Republican: Mr. and Mrs. George Bulkley celebrated the 25th anniversary of their marriage at their residence on Friday, October 9th. though nature withheld her smiles, the affair was one of great enjoyment. A large number of chosen friends were present and all determined that a merry, good time should not be spoiled by the rain. The parlors were tastily decorated and over the doors was arranged in large letters of evergreen the number "25." After the usual ceremony had been pronounced and the ring appropriately placed upon the bride's hand, the company was invited to the dining room, where was a table groaning 'neath its load of luxuries, of which they showed their hearty appreciation. After refreshments two beautiful poems composed expressly for the occasion by Mrs. E. Barstow and Mrs. H. Benedict were read to the admiration of all present. After numerous sentiments had been exchanged, the company again repaired to the parlors and merrily did the hours pass until the evening wore away. Among the guests present was Mr. Wm. Pendleton, of Norwich, father of the bride, who, tho' he had breasted the storms of nearly eighty winters, stepped as firm and elastic as a youth of sixteen. Also, other relatives of the family down to the fourth generation. The presents were rare and costly, embracing a coin silver tea set, forks, knives, spoons, and other articles. Mr. Bulkley was born and had lived nearly 60 years upon the same farm and under the very roof where he now resides.
Afton [Chenango Co. NY]: Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Dean of this place, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage at their residence on Monday evening of this week. Nearly one hundred guests were present and among them several persons from abroad. We noticed Col. W.W. Snow, A.D. Smith and lady, of Oneonta, and two persons who witnessed the original ceremony in 1824. Many valuable presents were bestowed upon the aged couple, amounting to upwards of $100. The company was composed of old and young, and the occasion was made one of unstinted merriment. The venerable couple were unusually cheerful and entered into the games with a spirit of youthfulness seldom witnessed, seemingly "just as young as they used to be." The couple whose Golden Wedding was thus celebrated were among the first settlers here, moving to this place from the "Green Mountain State" when the village consisted of but two or three log houses. In the course of conversation, the bride remarked that she would be pleased to see all present twenty-five years from that time, as they intended to celebrate their Diamond Wedding, if nothing happened. our earnest wish is that they may live to enjoy that occasion.
Death
Afton [Chenango Co. NY], October 15th, Editor Republican: A sensation was caused in this community last Tuesday night by the startling announcement that the body of an unknown woman had been discovered lying in the water near the Bettsburgh dam on the Susquehanna River. Indications proved that it had been in the water some time. The wearing apparel of the deceased compared so well with the description in the Binghamton Times of an insane woman who had left her home and family in Lanesboro, Pa., and who was last seen at Nineveh Junction, that a messenger was immediately dispatched to inform the supposed husband, Mr. Botts, of the facts here given. Mr. D.P. Steward kindly offered to perform this service. After the discovery of the body it was drawn up into a boat and left until the coroner could also be acquainted with the circumstance. This officer failing to appear by the following morning, a party composed of the Overseer of the Poor, Mr. Wilcox, Justice Hill, Jas. L. Green, Esq., Dr. P.A. Hayes, and the unfortunate husband repaired to the scene, where Mr. Botts recognized the body as that of his wife, Lora [Botts]. A jury was then empaneled, and the investigation commenced. The following verdict was rendered: The deceased came to her death by drowning while laboring under a fit of insanity. The deceased was about 50 years of age. The husband procured a coffin, and the remains will be conveyed to Lanesboro tomorrow.
