Saturday evening the sad intelligence was received by telegraph from Denver that Dr. Chas. Bush of this village [Oneonta, Otsego Co. NY] had died that morning. the same day Mrs. Bush received a letter from her husband indicating that he had failed somewhat and gone to St. Joseph's Hospital, conducted by the Sisters of Charity. Word was immediately returned requesting the body to be embalmed and sent here by express. The remains will probably reach here today or tomorrow. Dr. Bush left for Denver about three months ago, confident of recovery. But his friends here entertained no such encouraging hopes, while they all wished for the best. This is a very sad case and occasions a deep gloom throughout our village. the deceased leaves a young wife and a beautiful child, the former in great grief the latter only conscious probably of her papa's absence. The engine house is draped in mourning and at the funeral it is expected the full department and band will join in the sad ceremonies.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wadsworth of Binghamton [Broome Co. NY] well known in this village, have sustained a great loss int he death of their only child, a bright, beautiful little girl, which died Saturday afternoon with diphtheria. the Binghamton Republican says: "Mabel [Wadsworth] who was in her third year, was a child of remarkable brightness and intelligence and possessed of a nature that made her dear to all that knew her."

______________________________
CROW: At the Midland Depot in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], on Sunday evening, Oct. 20th, Sam Crow aged 8 months and 17 days.
Supposed case of quickened conscience. Sam was an orphan and was generally beloved and respected by all that knew him. His many queer antics and winning ways ensured him a welcome wherever he made his calls. He was possessed of many (crow) virtues and was known to have but one vice. But that being so common among office holders, it may be overlooked in him. He never took anything he could not carry away. He was a firm believer in hard money. His remains were carefully wrapped in a tribune extra, containing the Tilden cypher dispatches and forwarded to Oswego for interment, in charge of R. Cullman, assistant chief of the Oswego Fire Department.
The poor old crow has gone to rest, / We know that he is free / gone to meet his mother-in-law.
