Death
On Saturday last, while three young lads were sailing in the Susquehanna River, just below the dam, at the Rock Bottom Mills, their boat was drawn by the back current into the rough water and upset. Two of the boys swam to the shore, but the other, William White, aged about 16 years, after struggling a short time, sunk to rise no more. His body was recovered after three or four hours' search, but too late for resuscitation. This young man had but just returned the day before, from the west, after a long absence, on a visit to his parents in this village [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY].

Fare thee well, thou darling Katie! / No more with us on earth thou'lt dwell; / Oh! how tenderly we loved thee, / Well our bleeding hearts can tell / Precious Katie, fare thee well!
Now, how vividly before us, / Memory brings thy winning ways; / And the sweetness of those accents, / When you sang the Saviour's praise / Now unending songs you raise.
Oh! methinks I hear the praises, / In the home where now you dwell;/And the anthem louder raises, / As your voice their numbers swell / Blessed Katie, fare thee well!
When our days on earth are numbered / All its cares and joys are o'er, / May we meet thy happy spirit, / Where we weep and sigh no more.

___________________________
Mr. Oscar T. Dutcher and wife celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage at their dwelling in Coventry [Chenango Co. NY] on the 21st ult. The day was exceedingly pleasant and the guests to the number of forty or fifty were very cordially received and sumptuously entertained by the bride and groom, assisted by their two children (a daughter and son) who filled their position much to their credit and honor of their parents. The gifts were of considerable value and of the substantial and useful kind. Among them were several envelops which gave weighty testimony in favor of specie currency.
After having feasted on the good things with which the table was loaded in the dining room, the company gathered into the parlor where they found the bride and groom of twenty-five years ago seated together as then. After listening to a few appropriate remarks and prayer by Rev A. Parker, who officiated at the wedding of twenty-five years ago, the company dispersed feeling that the occasion had been both peasant and profitable.
Wishing the bridal pair as bright twenty-five years to come as thy have enjoyed in the past.
