Soon after the death of her husband, which occurred in August 1845, deceased left the farm, which passed into other hands and she has since made her home with her children, respected and beloved by all. She leaves surviving her seven children: Mrs. S.S. Merritt of this village; Mrs. E.B. Smith of Washington; Whitman, Bradford B. and Charles of Earlville, Gurdon of Washington, and Eli H. of Nebraska.

BEARDSLEY: Mr. William Beardsley was born in Shaftsbury, Bennington County, Vermont, May 13th, 1793. He went as a soldier from Vermont in the war of 1812, first by draft, afterward by enlistment, and remained until the close of the war. He was in the naval engagement on Lake Champlain between Commodore McDonough and Commodore Downie, and after the surrender went on board the vessel on which Commodore Downie was killed, saw the rigging all cut in pieces and all the ghastly and harrowing sights consequent upon such combats. At the age of twenty-three, he married Anna Maria Catlin, a native of Canada. They came immediately to Oxford [Chenango Co. NY], then a new country much of it a wilderness and ever since, in or near, it has been his home. Of the twelve children of this marriage, seven are living. For the last four years he has lived with his daughter, Mrs. Silas Rogers in Preston [Chenango Co. NY]. Till within a year or two his mental faculties remained undimmed, but his years were long past the allotted span and slowly, yet surely, he yielded to the fiat of the destroyer, and after three or four weeks sickness, he died January 20th, and is laid among those who preceded him to rest.

WIRE: Our Pitcher correspondent furnishes us with the following particulars of a sad and fatal accident which occurred in the town of Taylor, Cortland County [NY], something like a mile from the village of Pitcher, on Thursday of last week:
"On Thursday afternoon of last week, Martin Wire, and his son Willie [Wire] of Taylor, were at work in the sugar bush. Rev. Mr. Salisbury made them a social call and while there they amused themselves by shooting for a time at a target. Willie went up on the side hill some fifty feet from the boiling place, requesting Mr. Salisbury to load the rifle in his absence. Mr. S. sat down on some wood, holding the gun between his knees, the breech resting on the ground, muzzle pointing upwards. In adjusting the cap, the rifle was discharged, the ball passing over the beam of the sugar house and entering Willie's head just above and back of the ear, breaking the skull on the opposite side, but not passing through the skin. The lad lived until Friday morning, although unconscious, when life ceased. The funeral was attended by a very large and sympathetic assemblage, and all shed tears of sorrow. Willie was the only child of Mr. Wire, aged fourteen years. No words can describe the feelings of Mr. and Mrs. Wire, nor those of Mr. Salisbury."

BOYDEN: North Pharsalia, Chenango Co. NY: Another flower has been cut down in the fullness of bloom and a tiny bud, having been delicately placed within the beautiful leaves, dropped its head submissively, in unison with the mother parent, to an unseen Power. About one year ago, the oldest daughter of Mr. Calvin Frink girded the bridal robes about her and was united in marriage with Murray Boyden. Last Saturday her remains were wrapped in her bridal robes and with her infant upon her bosom, were buried. The funeral was largely attended. The friends have the sympathies of the community. Eld. John Barr, of Otselic, preached a very appropriate and effective sermon at the obsequies.
INGAL: Daniel D. Ingal, a farmer living near Richfield Springs [Otsego Co. NY], was killed on Wednesday of last week by a load of hop poles falling upon him while he was hauling them to his yard. His neck was broken.
