Deaths

Died at Franklin [Delaware Co. NY] on the evening of the 4th inst. Nathan Edgerton, Esq. aged 63 years.  He was one of the earliest settlers in this county and by a course of honest industry, without "grinding the face of the poor," he succeeded in acquiring a handsome property and literally made the wilderness to bud and blossom like the rose.  He served the various public stations and was for several years Sheriff of this county.  He was a compound of mildness, vigilance and energy.  In short, he was a good and useful citizen and an honest man.

In Harpersfield [Delaware Co. NY], on Wednesday last, Mrs. Ells consort of James Ells, Esq.

A child of Mr. Brouk of Binghamton, Broome Co. [NY] on 6th inst., while the family were at breakfast, put its head through the bars of the gate. In its efforts to retreat or extricate, it brought its throat directly across the lock bar of the gate, and unfortunately was not discovered until the vital spark was extinguished.  The unfortunate little sufferer, it appeared had been accustomed to put its head through the bars of the gate in front of the house, look into the street, and had once before been unable to extricate itself, but at that time it alarmed the family by its cries and was rescued.
