We noticed under our obituary head yesterday the decease of Mr. Alexander Ely who expired at the residence of his brother in this city yesterday morning at the ripe old age of 86 years. He did his country good service in its first great struggle for liberty and lived to reap the rich reward of his patriotic sacrifices. He has seen the wilderness made to blossom as the rose and what was then a few dependent and sparsely settled colonies transformed in his own lifetime into a mighty nation of freemen, flourishing beyond all example in the arts of peace and war, and taking rank alongside the most powerful nation of the globe. The deceased veteran moved to this city in 1816, from West Springfield, Mass. of which place he was a native and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was in the army with General Washington and witnessed the execution of Maj. Andre. Rochester Courier.
We regret to learn that Geo. Bowman, a young man aged 17 years, son of Alfred Bowman of Montgomery County [NY] was killed instantly last Friday by the falling of a tree. The deceased was in the employ of Henry Smith of this village and was much esteemed by his large circle of relatives and friends.

Mr. S.B. Horton of Natick was run over and killed by a train on the Worcester Railroad near that place [Worcester, Otsego Co. NY] on Saturday afternoon.

In this town [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY] August 14th, Mary Gray foster child of Abram Bevier, Esq. aged 17 years. Possessed of an amiable disposition and prepossessing manners, she early endeared herself to those to whom she was connected by ties of nature and awakened feelings of deep interest and affection in those with whom she associated. To these graces of nature were added those of piety, which, a few months previous to her last illness, had taken deeper root in her soul and effected a greater change in her outward conduct, until all that was early seemed subdued, and her spirit was ripe for heaven. During her sickness, notwithstanding her extreme suffering, she manifested continued patience and as death approached, entire resignation to the will of God. When questioned of her hopes, she assured her friends that her faith in her Redeemer gave her joy even in death. She was anticipating a removal soon to her parents at the West, but it pleased her heavenly Father to take her to a home in heaven, and her assurance of preparation made the summons welcome. May this dispensation give new force to the command "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth."
