Death
On Friday Jan. 21st, 1859, of scarlet fever, Jennie May [Kellogg] youngest daughter of H.A. and D.E. Kellogg, aged 8 years and 4 months.
In the death of Jennie, one so young and joyous, parents' fond hopes have been blasted, and many who had known her in life as they gathered around her remains and saw the little hands meekly clasping the fresh flowers, which she had loved to watch unfolding their leaves, wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief. She was beloved by all who knew her and before we thought it possible, "death loves a shining mark," and when she was apparently in the midst of health, the little heart filled with joy, and the sunbeams nestling on her locks, that a shadow fell and even then, the dark messenger was hovering around.
"And the angel softly whispered in her ear; / Child, thy Father calls thee, stay not here"
Then the little maiden was weary and soon went to rest on the bosom of Him "whose blessing makes the soul rich and added no sorrow therewith." There is always something beautiful about the friendship and love of a confiding child, whose eye grows brighter when we come and who pluck for us the flowers we love best. Such kindness leaves a fragrant memory. This is another instance where the light of New Years' morn shone bright with golden hope on the brow of youth and before the greetings were hardly over, the radiant eye was dimmed and the heart that beat with gladness moulders in the cold bed of death.

Passed away, has gentle Warren, / to the cold and silent tomb. / Like some rare and tender floweret / Stricken in its early bloom.
We gathered around his pillow / For we thought that he must die, / I am dying now he murmured / While his bosom heaved a sigh
Your child is taken in his youth, / And you are left behind. / Remember soon your turn will come, / Enstamp it on your mind.
Oh parents dear, now I am gone / Forever from your sight. / When others have forgotten me, / Don't you forget me quite.
My vacant garments speak my loss, / They seem to say with mournful voice / Your child is gone--his spirit's fled-- / The grave his active limbs have hid.
Then while we go from place to place / Objects though small his memory trace. / In vain we talk -- in vain we tell -- / He bids us all a long farewell.
My brothers dear and sisters too, / I now have ceased to stay with you, / Thy kind Saviour hath bereft you / Of a brother, kind and true.
He never spares the old or young / His heart is cold and chill / He speaks our doom with iron tongue / He speaks and we are still. E.H.G.

The Dunkirk Express on the N.Y. & Erie Railroad, bound West on Wednesday 23d inst. after leaving Deposit [Broome Co. NY], found that the Westward bound track was closed and they were compelled to return to Deposit, where they received orders to proceed on the Eastern bound track. At Underwood's Crossing they ran over and killed one of the watchmen of the track. Scott Harris, the conductor of the train, stopped the train and left two men to stay with the body and one to give information to the man's family of the accident.
Upon returning towards Deposit at Sheldon's Cut, he found another watchman who had been run over by the same train - both of his legs being broken and otherwise injured. It is supposed that he cannot live. We have not been able to learn the names of either of the Watchmen. Binghamton Republican
