DODGE: By the Baltimore, Md., papers we learn of the death of Mrs. Margaret Dodge which occurred at that place on the morning of December 14. Mrs. Dodge was the wife of Dr. A. W. Dodge, formerly well known in this county [Chenango Co. NY], but now a prominent physician of Baltimore and who resided for many years with his uncle, Daniel Dodge of Plymouth [Chenango Co. NY].
Mrs. Dodge was a most estimable lady, and greatly beloved by a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. Her charities and her active participation in nearly all of the philanthropic and charitable enterprises of her native city of Baltimore will render her loss an irreparable one to the poor and destitute of that place by whom she will be greatly missed. Her bereaved husband and afflicted relatives in this section have our deepest sympathies in their sad bereavement.

MACK: We learn from our Guilford [Chenango Co. NY] correspondent the particulars of a sad and fatal accident which occurred on the farm of Lucius Whittemore of that place on Saturday last about 9 A.M.. The particulars of this destressing accident seem to be as follows:
Peter Mack in company with a Mr. Mack and Mr. Bartle were felling trees in company, and one of the trees they had previously cut, lodged against a tree they were falling. As they were chopping, they heard a noise overhead and looking up saw that the lodged tree was falling and in attempting to get out of its way, Peter Mack was hit by the limbs of the falling tree. He was struck on the left side of his head and body crushing him in a most frightful manner. He had an ax in his hand at the time of the accident which cut a severe gash in his arm near the shoulder. He was conscious for some two hours after the accident, but about 11 o'clock he became unconscious, in which condition he remained until 8 P.M. of the same day when he quietly passed away. The deceased was aged 36 years, an honest and hardworking man, and his sudden and untimely death casts a gloom over the entire community. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his sudden and terrible death. His funeral was attended on Monday afternoon, the exercises being conducted by Rev. A.M. Colgrove of the M.E. Church. His widow and fatherless children have the deepest sympathy of the public in their bereavement.

Sudden Death of John Swan Randall
At about three o'clock Tuesday afternoon, John Swan Randall was found dead in his rooms over T.D. miller's drug store. Dr. Stewart who occupies rooms adjoining those of Mr. Randall, heard groans in the room of the deceased and soon heard a heavy fall and attempted to enter the rooms, but found them locked, a key was procured, and on entering the rooms he was found lying upon the floor dead. The deceased had been in poor health for some time, and it is supposed that he fell as Dr. Stuart heard the fall which attracted his attention, and there were several severe contusions about the head and face, and a very severe fracture of the skull over the right eye, the fracture of itself being in the opinion of Dr. Avery the Coroner, fully sufficient to produce death, and under the circumstances the coroner decided that an inquest was unnecessary.
Mr. Randall was formerly a prominent practicing lawyer in Oswego [Oswego Co. NY] and has resided in Norwich [Chenango Co. NY] over twenty years. Although somewhat eccentric, he was a man of rare intelligence and of a kind and genial disposition and had many warm friends. He leaves two surviving sisters, one Mrs. Ezra Hewitt of this village and Mrs. M. Birdsall of Greene to mourn his untimely and sudden death, and who have the deepest sympathies of tour entire community in their severe affliction.

The Richmond (Ill.) Gazette contains the following notice of a marriage consummated in that town. One of the parties formerly resided in Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY], and we publish it entire as a matter of local interest. It shows how things are done in that locality.
MARRIED: In Hebron, November 21st, at the residence of the bride's by Rev. S. Earngey of Woodstock, Miss Hattie Tryon and Mr. F.C. Sumner.
About fifty relatives and invited guests were present. everything was arranged with good taste and careful hands; each decoration or design seemed a fitting tribute to the Lady whose associations were about to change for a lifetime. In the Bridal Parlor a double arch composed of evergreens and flowers was arranged by design of Capt. C.H. Tryon, uncle of the bride. On the right over the head of the groom, entwined in evergreen was the inscription, Sumner, on the left in like manner Tryon. From the center of the arch hung a marriage bell of rose and evergreen, all skillfully appointed and beautifully emblematical of the union intended to be consummated. The ceremony was performed at five P.M. At six o'clock a bountiful supper was served, prepared for the most part by the bride's own hands and was a choice token of handiwork. The wedding party was happy, some joyous, but occasionally a silent tear involuntarily trickled down a cheek. Congratulations were earnest and sincere. Hattie has ever been a true confiding girl - the Ideal Lady. We wish her and her husband the full measure of that happiness which by God's design is theirs to share.
Death
SPRAGUE: In Smyrna [Chenango Co. NY], Dec. 29th, Jane [Sprague] wife of Elisha Sprague, aged 61 years.
The wife of Elisha Sprague died very suddenly last Saturday evening while on her way to a neighbor's to watch with a sick lady. She was taken with a severe pain in her side and lived but a few minutes. The doctors disagree as to the cause of her death. One claims it was apoplexy and another heart disease.
