The little daughter of Andrew Fern aged 8 years, living near Church Hollow, in the town of Coventry [Chenango Co. NY], met with a fatal accident last Saturday night, while her father was absent, and her mother out milking.  The child's clothing caught fire from the stove, and she, wild with excitement, ran to the barn where the flames communicated to a pile of straw, and had not the father returned at this point the barn and other outbuildings must have been consumed.  The mother stripped her child of all the garments not already consumed and wrapped some of her own around the unfortunate child, but she was burned so badly that she lived only twenty-four hours.

Death of Jay R. Wait:  Particulars of the tragical death of this former citizen of Guilford Centre [Chenango Co. NY] has been received by his relatives in this county, and we subjoin a few of the most interesting.  It seems that he had been suffering intensely from rheumatism for about two weeks, during half of which time he had not left the house, so terrible was his suffering.  On Sunday night, the 4th inst., he became worse, the disease passing to his head. A physician was summoned who prescribed something, saying to the family that there was no cause for alarm, as the medicine would not injure him, and that he needed sleep and rest.  He immediately fell asleep under the influence of the medicine, but was delirious, and conversed in his sleep.  His wife repaired to the yard to milk the cows, but after milking four she returned  to the house to inquire if he was in need of any attendance.  Imagine her feelings when she discovered her husband lying stone dead upon the bed.  She raised his head, but found life extinct. She caught her child in her arms and ran into the road, when she met two men, who came to her assistance. The verdict of the coroner's jury was in accordance with the above facts.
