Death
In our last paper we published a brief notice of the death of Miss Adelaide St. John . We have since received for publication the following obituary:
Died on the 16th inst. at the house of Alfred Phelps, Esq. in the city of New York, Miss Adelaide St. John in the 28th year of her age, of a pulmonary complaint. Seldom have we witnessed the mortality of one in whom were combined so many truly Christian virtues and preeminent amiable qualities. Submission to the call of her Divine Lord and Saviour, she cheerfully resigned her life and furnished ample testimony of her preparation for a blissful Eternity. Her numerous friends and relatives to whom she was universally endeared could no longer protract her earthly existence, whose qualifications had already entitled her to an immediate residence in the kingdom of her adorable Saviour. Her remains were committed to the vault of Spring Street Church Yard on the following day, accompanied by a crowd of mourning relatives and friends who enjoyed the consolation that their deprivation and loss was her unspeakable gain. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."

FAIRCHILD: In Quaker Basin of injuries received from the boiler explosion on Monday Sept. 16th, Frank J. [Fairchild] son of J.W. and Mary B. Fairchild, aged 12 years, 5 months and 12 days.
DeRuyter, Madison Co. NY: On Monday, Sept. 16, 1872, about 3 o'clock p.m., the steam boiler in Monroe Cone's cheese box factory exploded. This factory was in Quaker Basin, about 2 miles east of DeRuyter village, and was used as a sawmill, cheese box factory, and in season, as a cider mill. The boiler was an old one, at least it had been in use 18 years. It had formerly been used only for the purpose of steaming the lumber used in making cheese boxes. This summer Mr. Cone procured a steam engine to run his machinery during low water. This, of course, required a heavier pressure of steam than had been required for steaming purposes. There was no steam gauge attached to the boiler, and the figures on the safety value could not be read. At the time of the explosion there was employed in the factory, Monroe Cone, the proprietor, Irving Newitt, aged 18 years, son of Elder H.F. Newitt, Judge W Fairchild, and Frank, son of Mr. Fairchild, aged 12 years old, and Mr. S. Simons was at work in the chamber immediately over the boiler room. Frank Fairchild was almost instantly killed. Mr. Cone is severely scalded, and Mr. Newitt is dangerously scaled. J.W. Fairchild was slightly injured and Simons escaped with a few scratches. Newitt and Cone are now considered out of danger, though their sufferings are still acute. The boiler burst on the lower side, throwing it upwards, until one end caught on the upper floor. We learn that where it burst the plate was no thicker than common stove pipe. We hope this will be a lesson to all persons using steam boilers and that due care and caution will be used by all who employ steam.

Death of John W. Allen
We are once more called upon to record the death of one of our well known and prominent citizens, Mr. John W Allen, which occurred on the night of Wednesday of last week. Although not wholly unexpected, the sad event became the occasion of deep sorrow in view of the final severing of his long existing in the community. A general feeling that, not only had passed away one for a great length of time intimately connected with the history and growth of the village, but an individual fondly endeared to a large and loving circle of friends and acquaintances, could but develop an expression of sorrow by no means to be suddenly effaced.
As is well known, Mr. Allen had been a long-time sufferer from a painful disease, and that during the last eleven months of his life, he was mainly confined to his rooms and for some five or six weeks preceeding his death, almost entirely helpless. For some time, his disease was supposed to have been of a chronic rheumatic nature but was more latterly determined by the highest professional authority as a creeping paralysis, growing out of a spinal affection. This being the conclusion, with no possible hope of resistance to the approach of the fatal malady, Mr. Allen thence forth gave himself to patient waiting for the final result, and without repining or irritableness, free from exhibitions of impatience or fretfulness, he appeared calmly to await the termination of his sufferings. As already intimated, the last few weeks of his life were passed in a helpless condition of body, with evidently but a faint appreciation of surrounding circumstances.
Mr. Allen was born in the State of Rhode Island, in June 1808, and had consequently entered upon his sixty-fifth year. In early youth he removed to Fayetteville, in Onondaga County [NY], where he resided until the Spring of 1845, when he came to Oneida. From that period until about 1856 he occupied the well-known Railroad House, from the first an important station upon the New York Central Railroad, completed but eight years previous to the time of his occupancy. Since disposing of this property, he has resided in Oneida, although not engaged in more active business than the superintendence of a large property.
As the possessor of wealth, Mr. Allen was a man of liberality, dispensing not only to the necessities of the humbler poor, but aiding in various religious and philanthropic directions. A man of generous impulses and warm affections, his heart appeared seldom indifferent to demands upon him in the direction intimated and many are the needy ones who have already missed his counsel and assistance since the time of his confinement. So, in social relations wherein he had long enjoyed the pleasure of an extended acquaintance, will he be long and tenderly missed, and as many in the far distant homes will come to hear of the death of John W Allen, will they drop an honest tear to his memory.
The last sad rites of burial were performed on Saturday last, a large number of friends and mourners following his remains to their last and final rest.
