Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY]: N.A. Humphrey, of this town, unearthed a full grown human skeleton on Monday last, while grading the yard about his house. The skeleton was found at the depth of three feet below the surface of the ground, and from indications had lain there a great many years. Mr. Humphrey's farm is the oldest in town, and was first settled by Gould Bacon, but no one seems to have any recollections of a person being buried in that locality. Republican

Deaths
Coventry [Chenango Co. NY]: Since our last communication two venerable and highly respected residents of our town have passed away. Mrs. Sukey Bassett's death occurred first, and her burial took place at Coventryville, in sight of the Church where she had listened so often and profited so much from the preaching of the word. A few days after this the remains of David Ingersoll were borne to their last resting place at Union Valley [Chenango Co. NY]. It rarely falls to our lot to chronicle the death of two persons so ripe in years, and each having possessed such a rare combination of excellent attributes of character.

Marriage
The largest and one of the most enjoyable parties ever given in our village was held last Monday evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Barnard; the occasion being the 25th anniversary of their marriage, and if excellence can be excelled, it was certainly done in the superb manner of receiving and entertaining the host of friends who came to offer congratulations and enjoy the hospitality for which this worthy couple are so noted.
The evening was an auspicious one with cool air and bright moonlight and their large and elegant mansion was brilliantly lighted throughout. At an early hour the guests began to arrive and before ten o'clock the rooms below and above were filled with over 300 happy, smiling, hand shaking people, and in the presence of so much geniality even a misanthrope must have thawed out.
Mr. and Mrs. Barnard are too well known to require any eulogy from our pen, for the many friends scattered all over the land sufficiently attest the pleasant, social relations which they have held so long.
Many who were unable to attend sent regrets, expressed in language that touched tender cords in the hearts of bride and groom.

Guilford Center [Chenango Co. NY]: Mr. William Hovey's family monument has been removed from our cemetery to Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], and the remains of his son Frank [Hovey] is soon to be removed thither also.
As Irving Fleming and wife were going to the funeral of Mr. Gates' daughter, last Friday, in a buggy drawn by his young Arabian horses, while passing along the dug road about two miles up the river, near the railroad track, the horses became frightened at an approaching train and plunged madly down the bank into the river, throwing out the occupants of the carriage upon the adjacent rocks and into the river. Fortunately, they were not seriously injured, though badly bruised. The train was the way freight, with passenger car attached, due here at 1:50 P.M. The conductor saw the accident, stopped the train and went to the assistance of Mr. Fleming and lady, bringing them down to the depot on the train, and also had the team brought down to the village. The horses were not much injured. Such action on the part of the conductor is commendable. Unadilla Times. That conductor was Tom Vanaman, one of the most whole-souled, genial conductors to be found on any railroad.
