____________________________
Twenty years ago, Daniel Beecher, Esq. of Coventry [Chenango Co. NY], was united in marriage to Miss Betsey Parker, only daughter of the late Levi Parker, Esq. of that place.
On New Year's Eve, the twentieth anniversary of the wedding, their friends and neighbors of the Congregational Church and society came in upon them without previous warning, and in great numbers. Their surprise was still further increased, when they were presented with a beautiful set of China, numbering a hundred and twenty-one pieces, and a ten dollar note with which to purchase a pair of gold spectacles. The presentation was made by Rev. A. Crocker, pastor of the Chruch, in a neat and appropriate speech, which was feelingly responded to by Mr. Beecher on the part of the recipients, in words which betokened how deep the emotions struggling for utterance within.
Mr. Beecher has been a member of the choir for over thirty years and most of the time its leader. This is not the first substantial ...nifestation of the high esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Beecher are held by the community in which they reside, nor are these the only tokens from the same course appreciative of their efficient aid in the services of church worship and sabbath school with which they are connected. May the lives of the useful and happy couple long be spared to enjoy many such "Happy Surprises."

Lewis Juliand's farm, a short distance southeast of this village lost two children last week by this fearful disease. The children were taken very violently and died very suddenly. While these children were being buried on Sunday, an older sister, a young lady about 17 years of age, died of the same disease. this young lady was well on Friday and did the washing for the family. At this writing, (Monday morning), Mr. Whitten has two more children lying at the point of death. This is indeed an afflicted family. Chenango American
Guilford, Chenango Co. NY: It is with sadness that we record the death of one of our most estimable ladies, Mrs. A.P. Merchant, which occurred on the 29th ult. Mrs. M. came among us upon her marriage with Mr. Merchant some eight or nine years ago and since then has endeared herself through her intelligence and kindness of heart to a large circle of friends and acquaintances. For several years she has been a patient sufferer and not until recently has she given her earthly cares into the hands of others. She was a sincere Christian and a devoted and affectionate wife and parent. Thus, at an early age she is called from earth, leaving a husband and one child, together with many near friends to mourn her loss.
Otselic Center, Chenango Co. NY: On Tuesday of last week, a venerable father of eighty-one years, Harris Coats, Esq., was borne to his grave. He had resided at North West corner for many years preceding his death.
