Death
In London [England], Mr. Henry Ferguson, Aet, 94, a native of America. He was found dead near the tower, and 15,000 pounds in bank notes was discovered sewed in between his ragged and filthy clothes; the produce doubtless of his many years active employment in the asking of alms trade. But what is more astonishing and will be of more consequence to the literary world, is that a bundle of MSS [manuscripts], in his own hand writing, was found in his pocket containing a concise, learned and elegant history of the arts and sciences in Asia, Africa, Europe and America from the period of the Roman Augustus up to the year 1808. In his wretched hovel near the city a very valuable library was found, and the antiquarians and booksellers have bid high to obtain it. He was always very modest for a beggar and was known to have done numerous acts of charity to orphan poor. It was remarked of him that when he was not out, begging, he was employed either in reading or writing and being master of the various European languages and always at home with any passerby, his pleasing address and quaint remarks obtained him many friends. It is not known that he has left any relations in England or in the United Stated of America.
At Huntington (Conn.) on the 25th of October, inst. Eliza S. Hurd, aged four years, only daughter of Col. J.N.M. Hurd of this village [Cazenovia, Madison Co. NY].
Melancholy accident: Died, at Onondaga [Onondaga Co. NY] on the 21st of October inst. Sarah Catharine Hopper, only daughter of Jasper Hopper, Esq. aged three years, eight months and twelve days. Her death was occasioned by her clothes catching fire, while at play. She lived but about twenty-four hours after the fatal catastrophe happened, which terminated her existence. Thus died a sprightly and amiable little child, and with her the high hopes which her fond parents had formed. From death's arrest no age is free and virtue and innocence, however spotless, cannot for a moment prevent their possessor from descending down to the grave.
"Such is the state of man, / Today he puts forth the tender leaves of hope; / Tomorrow blossoms / The third day comes a frost, a killing frost; / And then he falls.
