Lines addressed to Mrs. L. Boeman on the death of her only child, Ephraim [Boeman]
A twelve weeks and more has gone over, / Since Ephraim was taken away; / Ephraim, my dark browed darling. / Ah! how brief was his stay. / But his smile, so loving and tender, / Is fresh in my heart today.
There's a little grave in Kent Hollow / mid-winter they broke the mould / And laid our darling under / The sods, so brown and cold; / Never was dearer treasure / Given for earth to hold.
And now when the spring is giving, / From flowers for the earth to wear / I think how the grass and violets / Are quietly springing there / And a hush comes over my spirit, / Like the voice of a whispered prayer.
For each little blade points upward, / Away from the lowly bed, / Up to the glorious Heaven, / Whither my darling fled, / Ephraim, my sweet child angel, / I'll no more call the dead.

Again it becomes our painful duty to record the death of one of the Maine [Broome Co. NY] boys, a member of Capt. Hine's Company, Luke M. Hammond, who died Jan. 23rd of typhoid fever in Odd Fellows Hall Hospital, Washington, after an illness of about two weeks. He was one of Co. E's best boys, loved and respected by all; having served through the Peninsular campaign of the last summer. He has gone to swell the number of victims who have laid down their lives in the service of their loved country.
He had the best attention that a soldier can have, but his disease proved too deeply seated for human skill. May God grant that the remembrance of the holy cause in which he has fallen may prove a source of consolation to his widowed mother and sorrowing sisters. His remains were sent home by the members of his company who were universally anxious to thus show a small portion of their respect for their fallen brother.

PARMELEE: Those of our readers who had made the acquaintance of Capt. Charles F. Parmelee of Cazenovia [Madison Co. NY], will learn with regret of his sudden death while visiting in Virginia, on the 10th of January. Capt. Parmelee placed the first steamer on the lake at Cazenovia and was popular with all who knew him. He was a relative of Prof. E.H. Parmelee, formerly leader of the 103d Regiment Band of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY]. His death is attributed to disease of the heart, hastened by the shock of an accidental discharge of his gun on a hunting expedition, the charge entering the calf of his leg and passing out below. His wife was with him when he died.
