In this village [Delhi, Delaware Co.

Marriage

On Thursday last, by the Rev. Mr. Richardson, Mr. John Miller aged upwards of 40 years to Miss July Ann James not quite 15, all of Hartford County.  But the marrow of the story is that the above parson married the above Miller to his first wife about five years before this last one was born, and she, although not 15 years of age, has now been united in the holy bands of matrimony, no less than three times!  Bond of Union

Death

At Monticello in Sullivan County [NY] on Wednesday the 11th November inst. in the 57th year of his age, Livingston Bilings, Esquire, Counsellor at Law, after an illness of six days. This premature and sudden death has cast a gloom over the community and deprived Monticello of the pride and ornament of her social circle, the county of the services of him whom she has long cherished, as one of her greatest benefactors, and the Bar a valuable member.  Sullivan Whig
