WOLCOTT: In Otselic [Chenango Co. NY], Sept. 6th, Mr. Nelson Wolcott, in the 65th year of his age.
"The grave is triumphant again." Nelson M. Wolcott "sleeps his last sleep," beneath the sod in the Otselic Valley. He had suffered fourteen years from the effects of the all killing power of a cancer, located up the right cheek, just under the eye, and partly upon the right portion of his nose. While under the excruciating pain of this destroyer, he had suffered beyond the power of language to describe. Three times this cancer had been removed from Mr. Wolcott's face by skillful physicians, and wholly eradicated, as it was supposed.
Mr. Wolcott was born in the year 1808, in the town of Otselic; was married May 31st, 1831, to Nancy Brown, also of Otselic, and sister of Mrs. Harmon Stoddard; was sixty-seven years and two months old the day of his death; five children, four daughters and one don, four of whom have families.
However unwelcome the visitor "Grim Death," with irresistible power, prostrates his victims and leaves mourning, desolation and distress in his pathway. Ever since the creation of the world, he comes from his hidden home, and rides from conquer unto conquer through the land.

ECCLESTON - LATHAM: At the home of the bride in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], September 16th by Rev. W.J. Judd, assisted by Rev. J. G. Eckman, Mr. Hosea B. Eccleston to Miss Laura E. Latham, all of Norwich.
In its appropriate place in today's Telegraph will be found the marriage notice of two of our well-known citizens. Of course, we refer to that of Hosea B. Eccleston, Esq., and Miss Laura E. Latham. The wedding services took place at the residence of the bride in this village on Thursday afternoon last, attended by a few friends, and we are assured it was a pleasant and enjoyable affair. The knot was quickly tied by Revs. Judd and Eckman, and after an hour's society the happy couple left on the evening train for Niagra Falls. Mr. E. has been one of the producing classes in our town, and we are glad to know that his success in life has been such as to rank him among our solid men. The bride is the daughter of the late John Latham, Esq., formerly of Guilford. Upon his election to the office of County Clerk he moved to this village, where he continued to reside until taken hence. The daughter possesses the merits of the father and is one of the worthy few who always seeks other's good rather than their own. Both Mr. and Mrs. E. enjoy to a great extent the confidence and respect of our community, and all will unite with the Telegraph in good wishes for their continued prosperity and happiness.

Messrs. Editors: How men have mistaken their duties and callings in this life especially in marrying, if the recommendations and Scripture quotations or rather misquotations, we heard yesterday and last evening be true. A goodly company gathered at the Fifteenth Anniversary of the wedded life of Mr. and Mrs S.W. Smith, at their residence in North Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], Sept. 16th. There we heard some elderly men, and even women, express the opinion that those who led al life of celibacy were the happiest people. Well, we didn't just agree with them, that's all. Do you? And we thought the couple whose anniversary we attended were of our opinion, especially, when friends come flocking in from your own village and vicinity, and friends from their home village, and from the "regions beyond," gathered, bringing their gifts, not perhaps of gold and frankincense, and myrrh, but gifts, substantial gifts betokening the kind regards of the donors, until anniversary gifts of nearly sixty dollars were left to cheer and make light hearts for the happy recipients. Such tokens of friendship are helps over the hard places of life showing more of light than shade, more of substance than shadow, more of love than hate, more of beauty and brightness than unloveliness and darkness in these scenes of our mortal life. Again, another couple of our opinion, for in the midst of this anniversary scene they thought it not amiss to plight their faith each to the other in holy wedlock. Mr. Geo. B. Crandall and Miss Lucia I. Russell of your village, here at the festive scene to commemorate fifteen years of the wedded life of the sister of the bridegroom, took upon themselves the vows to love, cherish, and honor each other, until death should break up the happy union. The services of the marriage over, we sat down to a table loaded with the good things of the season, and all went merry as a marriage bell until the "wee sma' hours of the morning." We opine that the majority of the company present would vote with us on this marrying question. Were all mankind of the opinion of the few, what a world of old bachelors and old maids and tabby cats and poddle dogs.
