Tenderly we laid the child beauty away / Where the flowers will blossom, and the grasses will wave; / Undisturbed to repose till the dawn of the day / Whose glories shall lighten her path from the grave.
Sweetly she sleeps on the Shepherd's own breast, / Where no storms ever rave, or sickness can harm; / Transported her spirit to the land of the blest, / To bask in the sunshine of its unbroken calm.
Her beauty, it shone until heaven caught its light, / And sent down the angels to gather her home; / Home to the city never shadowed by night, / Where she shines a bright gem in Christ's royal crown.
Heaven is rich with our treasures, passed on before, / Glories that faded as they shone bright and fair, / Jewels we lost here, to find them no more, / But at the gateway of life they will welcome us there.

Mrs. John Sweet of Milford [Otsego Co. NY], exchanged mortality for life on Sunday, June 3d, 1878, in the 46th year of her age.
Mrs. S.'s sickness was brief, but severe, an attack of pneumonia lasting but eight days, terminated her life. In this sad event Mr. Sweet and family have sustained an irreparable loss, and the sincere condolence of the entire village is tendered them. The funeral services were attended by a very large concourse of relatives and friends and were conducted by the pastors of our village at the family residence. The deceased was a member of the Baptist church and died in the faith of the gospel. "Godliness is profitable for all things having the promise of this life and of that which is to come."

Monday night last Isaac Church, living about one mile from the Centre was stricken with paralysis, and lived but a few hours. He had been in usual health and was splitting wood, when suddenly he left his work, went into the house and told his wife he did not feel well and thought he would smoke. He filled his pipe, and she noticed that he put the bowl of the pipe in his mouth. She spoke to him, he started to go to the lounge, told her to call someone and lying down became insensible. He only lived about 8 hours. He leaves a wife and one daughter. The loss falls heavily on the family. Mrs. C. had been in poor health for some time, and the blow will be hard for her to bear. In his death the community have lost a good citizen, and his death will be deeply felt by all. W.N.T.

Saturday evening just as the sun went down, Mrs. Erexena Lull, wife of Ezra lull, Sr., died. She was one of the oldest inhabitants of this town. She and her husband have occupied the home in which she died ever since it was a wilderness and thro' their energies the farm on which they lived has been made a pleasant home for a large family of children. She was ever a faithful wife, mother and neighbor; living to a good old age (over 78 years), she was gathered to her people and a large company of relatives and friends mourn her departure. The old pioneers of the Butternut Valley are fast passing over the river; a few years more and our fathers and mothers will have all passed to their reward.
