Silver Wedding: On Saturday, September 9th, there gathered at the house of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Tifft a host of relatives and friends, to attend the celebration of the Twenty-fifth anniversary of their married life.
In a bower arranged for the occasion was spread a most tempting feast. Nearly everything the season affords was there to be found. After partaking of this, came another very interesting part of the programme; that part of any gathering which enriches a man's mind and soul, and leads him to think of other than the mere temporal affairs surround him. The programme was as follows:
Prayer by Rev. Mr. Jacobs; Poem, "The Silver Wedding" Miss Lucy A. Balcom; Toast, "The Bride and Groom of Twenty-Five Years", Response by Rev. Mr. Crocker; Toast, "Married Life" Response by Dr. Cone; Poem by Mrs. Elam Barstow; Toast, "Our Children" Response by Dr. Beardsley. Remarks by Rev. Mr. Bass of Brooklyn, Response in behalf of Mr. and Mr. Tifft, by Rev. Mr. Jacobs; Prayer by Rev. Mr. Cronin of N.Y. City; Doxology by the company; Benediction by Rev. Mr. Crocker.
I wish I might give you everything in full, but space forbids only a passing notice. The poem by Miss Balcom was a very fine production, as was also the one by Mrs. Barstow, and in fact, all participating did themselves ample justice.
Then, with many and hearty good wishes the guests departed, and it was echoed from one to another "Truly, we have passed a very pleasant time."
The present were many of them costly, and everything was very fine indeed.
It was truly one of those occasions when one "feels it good to have been there."

YOUNGS: Suddenly, in Oxford [Chenango Co. NY], Sept. 25th, Mr. Daniel Youngs, aged 67 years.
On Monday forenoon, Daniel Youngs, a well-known and respected farmer residing just above this village [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY], and near the old cemetery, met his death in a sandbank opposite his residence. The last seen of him alive that morning he was sifting sand at the bank. About 10:30 Uriah Rorapaugh of Smithville, drove up there after a load of sand. Mr. Youngs not being in sight, his daughter went to the field where his son-in-law, Will Davy, was at work. Davy came up and made some search for Mr. Youngs and finally noticing that the bank had lately caved, took a shovel and dug in the bank for him; but discovering no signs indicating his presence in the sand, loaded up Mr. R's team. After this Davy began further search. The alarm was given and help soon arrived, when the unfortunate man was uncovered and taken out dead. He was buried to the depth of about four feet and is supposed to have been buried from twenty-five to thirty minutes. he was sixty-seven years of age, and leaves a wife, three sons and a daughter, all married. His sudden death cast a gloom over our village. Mr. Youngs had been in the habit of going away and leaving the bank when it looked like caving, and as he had been searched for before, no great fears were at first entertained this time, and his shovel was standing nearby. He had another shovel in the pit, and he was found face downward, in a stooping position."

SUTTON: Suddenly in New York, Sept. 23d, Dr. Robert Sutton of Oxford [Chenango Co. NY].
The sad news of the sudden death of Dr. Robert A. Sutton, for the past four or five years a resident of this village [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY] and a partner of Dr. C.H. Eccleston in the manufacture of artificial teeth, was received here on Monday. he was in New York on business and Saturday, a private letter says "he was at the house of Dr. W.C. Bennett, dentist, 84 West 12th street, where he accidentally leaned against a door that was unfastened, outside of which was a rather steep flight of steps leading down to the rear yard. He fell over backward, not able to catch the rail to save himself, and struck the stone pavement with the top and back of his head. It instantly stunned him. He made no cry whatever and died in fifteen minutes without a movement." Dr. Sutton was a very able and learned man and was a one time editor of a dental review. He was much liked and respected by all who had formed his acquaintance. He leaves three daughters and two sons, who reside in Connecticut, with the exception of one daughter who has recently come to Oxford to make a home with her father. Dr. Sutton's remains were taken to Guilford, Conn., for interment.
