A Mrs. Beckwith about eighty years of age, we understood was killed in Franklin [Delaware Co. NY] on Saturday afternoon last. It is said that she and her husband, who is about 85, have been in the habit of drinking to excess, and on that day or the one previous, had bro't home some whiskey, which they divided. But Saturday afternoon the old man was gone out an hour or two, and he says while he was gone, the old woman hid his whiskey - that they had a quarrel, and he struck her. There were five pretty severe wounds on the head, apparently inflicted by some instrument with sharp corners, although none could be found except the whiskey jug. A coroner's inquest was held on Monday afternoon, which rendered a verdict that she came to her death by wounds inflicted by him. Delhi Gazette.

Bright were the eyes of the gentle child, / As stars in the evening sky;/ But e'er six summers had o'er her smiled, / Little Hellen was called to die.
The golden curls hung o'er her brow, / Her laugh was gay and sweet; / 'Tis pleasure to remember now, / The innocent and meek.
Her mother watched beside her bed, / From morning's dawn till night; / When angels with her spirit fled, / To a land more fair and bright.
Her form with the dust of the churchyard lies, / Sweet flowers above her weep; / With the night birds song and the zephyrs sighs / They have left her alone to sleep.
