PHELPS - JEFFREY:  In New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY] Oct. 15th, at the residence of the bride's father by Rev. J.M. Langworthy, Mr. Tracy C. Phelps of South Edmeston [Otsego Co. NY] to Miss Nettie G. Jeffrey of New Berlin.

Mr. Tracy Phelps of South Edmeston, and Miss Nettie Jeffrey, were married last Wednesday morning.  We do not know anything in regard to the wedding presents or invited guests but imagine that it was a pleasant affair.  But we do happen to know something of the newly married ones, and of their previous lives.  Years ago, Tracy attended the school that we taught in an adjoining village.  He was a noble boy then and he has grown into a noble man, without a single stain upon his name and character.   Nettie has a husband in every way worthy of her and may her life be as sunny and beautiful as the autumn day upon which she assumed the holy relation of a faithful wife.

STARKWEATHER:  Cooperstown [Otsego Co. NY] papers announce the death of Hon. George A. Starkweather of that village, which occurred on Sunday morning, the 13th inst.  He was born in Connecticut, in 1794, was educated at Union College, and in 1819 he came to Cooperstown, studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1823.  For thirty-three years he practiced law in Otsego County [NY], after which he removed to Milwaukee, where he followed his profession for ten years, when he returned to Cooperstown.  In 1833 he was appointed Surrogate, which position he held for eight years, and in 1846 he was elected to Congress.  Only a few days before his death he addressed the veterans at their reunion in Cooperstown.  He was public-spirited and cherished a great pride in all that pertained to the village where he resided.  He was also a gentleman of strong social qualities and one who enjoyed public life.

BROWN:  In Westerly, R.I., Oct. 17th, Mr. Dudley Brown Jr., formerly of Preston [Chenango Co. NY] aged 47 years.

A dispatch was received on Thursday evening last, announcing the death of Dudley Brown, Jr. of Westerly, R.I., son of Dudley Brown, Esq. of Preston.  No particulars were given, and it is probable that his death was sudden, as no intelligence of his illness had reached his friends, who had anticipated a visit from him this fall.

Deceased left the home of his boyhood several years since, and has for a long time resided in Westerly, where he has been actively engaged in manufacturing and other business.  It was his custom to make yearly visits at his old home and on these occasions, he made the acquaintance of many in this village and vicinity, who will learn with sincere regret of his death.  A gentleman of ability, conversant with the topics of the day, genial in his intercourse with all, a pleasant companion and a true friend, he will be missed, not only in the social circle, but by the business community.  His age was forty-seven years, and he was unmarried.

The shock comes with peculiar force to his aged parents.  Of a large family of children, they have buried all, with the exception of one daughter, who resides at the homestead.   Mr. and Mrs. Brown left on Monday morning for Westerly, arrangements having been made by telegraph for the funeral, which took place on Tuesday.  A large circle of friends sympathize with the bereaved family whose cup of affliction has so often been tasted.

Rev. Dr. Thomas Street pastor of the Presbyterian Chruch in Cortland [Cortland Co. NY] died suddenly on Wednesday evening of last week.  He had officiated at a marriage at Onondaga Valley on that afternoon and had taken the evening train from Syracuse for Oswego, to attend the Synod in session there.  Just after the train left Fulton, Dr. Street's head fell upon the shoulder of a friend sitting in the seat with him, who immediately inquired if he was in pain.  Receiving no reply, a physician who happened to be on board was summoned, who pronounced life extinct. The body was taken to Oswego and placed in charge of an undertaker.  On Thursday it was taken to Cortland, in charge of friends, and the funeral took place on Saturday afternoon.  Memorial services were held in the church on Sunday morning.  His death was undoubtedly from disease of the heart.  He was one of the ablest clergymen in Centra New York and his loss will be deeply felt by the Chruch, as well as by the community generally.

News Item

The Oneida Union says:  H.C. Holmes of Eaton [Madison Co. NY] who deserted his wife and family some weeks ago has turned up in a Kansas town, where he is living with a woman who left Eaton a few days previous to Mr. Holmes' departure.  He has opened a small concern there with the old familiar name of "Temple of Variety."  Holmes, we believe, formerly resided in Smyrna [Chenango Co. NY].
