Deaths
Samuel Hanson of Earlville [Madison Co. NY] who fell from a scaffold at a house, a week ago, where he was engaged painting, died on Saturday from the effects of the injury.
It was recorded that Seth Aldrich, a well-known citizen of Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY], living near the Columbus line, had died very suddenly, while sitting in his chair after dinner, but it proved to be a Mr. Bosworth, a former resident of this town [Columbus, Chenango Co. NY], but for some years a resident of Madison County [NY]. The mistake probably arose from the fact that Mr. Bosworth's daughter was the first and Mr. Aldrich's daughter the second wife of the same man. So, when the first reporter said, "Mr. Horton's father-in-law is dead," the next one gave the name of the wrong father-in-law.

Marriage
CHAMBERS - BUELL: At the congregational Church in this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY], August 29th, by Rev. Robert Chambers, Rev. James Chambers and Miss Jessie Buell daughter of Mrs. Lucinda Buell, both of this village.
A numerous assembly, comprising the wealth, beauty and culture of our pleasant village gathered in the Congregational Church last Wednesday evening to witness the marriage of the pastor, Rev. James Chambers to Miss Jessie, the accomplished daughter of Mrs. Lucinda Buell. the church was gorgeous with floral decorations and the pulpit resembled a conservatory so covered and surrounded was it with fragrant exotics. Promptly at half-past seven the wedding party entered the church, preceded by two of the ushers and took their positions to the right of the pulpit. The bridegroom was dressed in a handsome black evening suit, and the bride was radiant in snowy attire and crowned with the conventional orange blossoms. "What a fine-looking couple was the verdict of all present. The marriage service (especially arranged for the occasion) was read by Rev. Robert Chambers of Whitby, Ontario, and the happy couple were soon made one. The organ then pealed forth the Wedding march and the bridal party immediately left the Church and entering the carriage in waiting drove to the residence of Lucius Newton, where they received the congratulations of the numerous guests. There they stood young and happy, under the marriage bell, while opposite in striking contrast sat the aged Captain and Mrs. Newton, whose heads are silvered by the frosts of ninety winters and whose married life has extended over a period of almost seventy years. "Time and his brother Care" have been gentle in their dealings with this aged couple. As we looked at them, sitting together so happily and entering so heartily into the evening's festivities, we could not help thinking how their thoughts must have wandered back over the highway of years to the time when their own paths met and together they commenced their journey through life. Still musing, we thought how their hearts must have swelled with pride to see gathered around them such a large family of sons, everyone distinguished in different walks of life, to witness the marriage of their granddaughter. Congratulations passed, the guests partook of the refreshments and viewed the many beautiful and costly wedding gifts. Particularly noticeable among them were sets of silver and china ware of unique and elaborate design, a set of revolving bookshelves, a group of Roger's statuary, a Parian marble statuette, an elegant gold watch, the gift of Captain Newton to the bride, a handsome book of engravings, silver knives and forks, a Russia leather bound Bible and other costly presents too numerous for enumeration. Among the guests present were Isaac and Warren newton, Esqs. of Norwich, Dr. Homer Newton of California, Albro Newton of Brooklyn, Prof. Hubert Newton, the eminent astronomer, the father and three brothers of Rev. Mr. Chambers, Rev. Frank Townsend of New Berlin, Rev. C.C. Johnson of Smyrna and many others. The newly married couple left Thursday morning for an extended tour, during which they will visit New Brunswick and various other portions of Her majesty's dominions.
