Death
The following particulars of the recent child murder at Richfield Springs [Otsego Co. NY] were furnished us by Coroner Robinson. James Kenyon is an Englishman, aged about 54 years, of rather intemperate habits. Five years ago, while laboring under an attack of delirium tremens, he attempted suicide by cutting his throat but unfortunately did not succeed. Last week, he was at work in a hop yard in Richfield, showing a disposition to assault another person employed in the same yard. Word was sent to Almon Ames, overseer of the poor of Richfield, who had previously had Kenyon in charge, that he must take him in custody. On Monday morning last Mr. Ames took the fellow home with him and thought he would set him at work on his own place. Mr. A.'s son Calvin was there with his wife and an only child, a boy just a year old. Kenyon was left alone in the house with the two women and this child, when he seized upon the latter and by repeated blows on the floor killed it. The skull was badly broken. This occurred soon after he came to the house. The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict of "willful murder." It is hardly necessary to add that Kenyon is, or pretends to be, deranged. That he is possessed of a temper the most ugly and devilish is very evident. Freeman's Journal

Deaths

At Gilboa Schoharie County [NY] on the 5th inst. of typhoid fever Robert Weismer aged 52 years.
Mr. W. was one of the oldest and most respected residents of Gilboa. For years he carried on an extensive business and was well and widely known as a man of the strictest integrity and most honorable principles. Few men in the town commanded more respect or had more ardent and devoted friends. In all the relations of life, either in his business walks or in his family circle, he was distinguished for his excellent qualities. His death is a severe loss to the town, and a painful affliction to a large and interesting family, some of whom are now prostrated by the same disease which caused his death. May God in his wisdom lay his healing hand upon the bereaved sufferers and spare them to offer consolation and support to the sorrowing widow and the youthful members of the broken flock.

Marriage
Our "elegant" friend, Elliot Danforth Esq. of Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY] perpetrated the following in his 4th of July speech at Sidney Plains [Delaware Cop. NY]: "Five years ago today on the village green in your sister village, Bainbridge, I delivered an oration which resulted in my leading to the marriage altar, within six months from that time, one of Chenango's fairest daughters. I mention this as a Fourth of July incident, which in my history at least, will probably never be repeated. That was a union of hands and a union of hearts. Today we are to speak of a union of States."
Deaths
Henry P. Skinner for some ten years past a businessman here, died of scarlet fever Sabbath noon. For a few years past, he had been of delicate constitution, and it required only slight disease to produce death. The funeral Tuesday afternoon was in charge of the Masonic Order, and representatives were present from neighboring lodges. The fire department and Dakin rifle association also turned out as organizations. Mr. Skinner leaves a wife and three children to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and father. As an enterprising upright businessman, he will be greatly missed.
Harry Heath a farmer living near Sidney Plains [Delaware Co. NY] was found dead yesterday in the hay field. As he was alone at the time of his death, the cause is as yet unknown. It is thought to be a case of sunstroke.
