[NY], but for the past thirty years this village [New Berlin, Chenango Co. NY] has been her home, where she has supported herself by running errands and buying and selling rags. She was so honest in all her dealings, that any of the merchants would trust her to quite a large amount, and "Aunt Eunice" was always selling everything given her to make her comfortable, as she said to pay her debts. For the last year she has been very feeble, but occasionally she would be seen passing through the streets with her bundles. She will be missed by many, especially those who were very poor, as she would purchase articles for them, and trust them to pay her as they could, in rags, etc. She has no relatives living.

A large delegation of firemen was in attendance, who accompanied the remains of their late comrade to the cemetery. The entire typographical force of the Telegraph office also attended in a body. The headquarters of the various Companies of the Fire Department were heavily draped in mourning, from the time of Mr. Sinclair's death until Monday morning. Upon the invitation of Rev. D.E. Loveridge, the members of the Fire Department attended services at Emmanuel Church on Sunday evening, with a large number of other friends, when the Rector preached an eloquent funeral sermon, his remarks to the firemen being most impressive. The choral and other services were appropriate to the occasion. The family of the deceased desire to express to their friends and particularly to the members of Alert Hose company, their gratitude for the many expressions of sympathy and the kindly offices so delicately administered during his severe and protracted illness and at the funeral. Their generous self-sacrifice and more than brotherly attention will ever be remembered but can never be repaid.

NYE: Death of James W. Nye: Poor Jim Nye died suddenly at White Plains, Westchester County [NY], on Christmas day. Mr. Nye was born in Madison County [NY], June 10th, 1815. He picked up a fair education in the common schools and academies, read law, and was admitted to the bar. He was County judge of Madison County from 1847 to 1851. Removing to New York, he was made a police commissioner. In 1861 he was appointed Governor of the Territory of Nevada and took up his abode in that country. Four years later, the Territory became a State and Gov. Nye was its first Senator in Congress; was re-elected in 1867 and retired from public life on the 4th of March 1873. From that time his reason gradually failed him, and he has been an inmate of a private asylum near New York, his wants being tenderly cared for by a faithful and loving daughter. Many in this locality, who remember the deceased when in his prime, as a brilliant stump speaker, first a Democrat and afterwards a Republican, and as a popular lawyer in the Courts, will regret to learn of this sad ending of his eventful life.
