Death
Died in this village [Delhi, Delaware Co. NY] last evening, Mr. Thomas S. Lead in the 24th ear of his age.
Seldom in this place has there been cause for grief like that occasioned by the decease of the subject of this hasty notice. Few persons of his age have deserved or acquired so large a portion as he possessed of that esteem and friendship which is the voluntary tribute paid to amiable dispositions, when combined with superiority of intellect. He has left many to be sorrowful who are allied to him by the endearing ties of relationship. But these are not all. Others bewail the youth of genius. The untimely transit of one whose natural endowments and thirst for knowledge promised fame and usefulness is to be mourned forever by kindred minds. Unremitting application at college shattered his health and obliged him to desist for a time from his studies, which were afterwards renewed with an intensity which made inroads in his constitution and brought on that consuming malady which is so often the attendant of the temperament of genius.
We may justly apply to him what the bard has said of Kirke White, another early victim of the enthusiasm of study, who, also, was devoured by his own ardor and converted labor into death.
"Twas thine own genius gave the fatal blow, / And helped to plant the wound that laid thee low;/ So the struck eagle, stretched upon the plain / No more through rolling clouds to soar again, / Viewed his own feather on the fatal dart, / And winged the shaft that quivered in his heart; / Keen were his pangs, but keener far to feel / He nursed the pinion which impelled the steel, / While the same plumage that had warmed his nest, / Drank the last life drop of his bleeding breast."

Marriages
In Franklin [Delaware Co. NY] on Thursday last by the Rev. Mr. Waterbury, Mr. Hine of Meredith [Delaware Co. NY] to Miss Sally Noble of the former place.
In Sidney [Delaware Co. NY] on the 12th inst. by the Rev. Mr. Sears, Mr. Chauncey Smith to Miss Abagail Blowers.
In Hamden [Delaware Co. NY] on the 12th inst. by the Rev. Cyrus Silliman, Mr. Miles Beers to Miss Rachel Barlow.
Death
In Franklin [Delaware Co. NY] on the 13th inst. Mrs. Hannah Stewart wife of Mr. Silas Stewart, aged 51 years. In the death of this woman, the bereaved husband has lost a most affectionate companion, the family a tender mother, and the Church of Christ one of its brightest ornaments. She has long adorned the Christian profession as a member of the Baptist Church in Franklin and during the progress of a lingering consumption, which terminated her earthly course, she ever manifested the most cheerful willingness to depart and be with Christ. "Blessed are the dead who died in the Lord."
