On earth no mortal eyes / E'er shall behold her; / No more shall loving arms / Ever enfold her.
Tired were those little hands, / Clasped on her breast; / Voices we could not hear / Called her to rest.
Useless those falling tears, / With grief why repine? / Her lot is far happier, / Mourner, than thine.
Cherish her last good bye, / And bless the kind Giver, / Who'll call you to meet her / Far over the river.

BROWN: At East Troy, Wis. on the 11th inst., Mrs. J.S. Brown, aged 61 years, 5 months and 20 days.
Miss Julia Ann Riddell was born in Preston, Chenango County [NY], July 19th, 1812, and was the third child of a family of ten children, among whom are Mrs. H. P. Marion of this village [Norwich, Chenanog Co. NY], and Mrs. J.D. Marion of Preston.
In December 1830, she was married to John S. Brown, and commenced housekeeping at Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY]. They afterwards moved to East Troy, Wis., where she remained until her death. She possessed an extraordinary mind, and was a woman of marked and acknowledged ability, a leader in all good works in the community where she lived. She was naturally of an amiable and cheerful disposition, and friends, neighbors and children all bear testimony, that never in a single instance was she known to show anger or malice. A lifelong follower of Christ, she had no fear of death, and during her last illness, she talked of death as calmly as of life, and said she only wanted that her children should feel willing that she should go and await their coming. She said "she was standing on the brink of death," and twice called to her children to know whether "they could not hear that heavenly music and see that bright angel band." Truly it does seem that she could look across "The River." Her trust in the Saviour overcame all bodily suffering, and she passed away with a smile on her countenance, retaining her reason to the very last. S.S.R.

News Item
We last week gave to the readers of the Telegraph an account of the arrest of two young men of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], who were charged to have been principals or accessories in the murder of Mr. Edwards, at Cooperstown [Otsego Co. NY], in September last. We also gave the facts upon which the officers alleged to have based their action, as they were given to us. We are to be able to say this week that the officers were wholly upon the wrong track, and that the young men are home again in the enjoyment not only of their liberty but of a perfect discharge not only from arrest but from all suspicion of any complicity in that horrible crime.
As we stated last week, Charles and Henry Montgomery were taken to Cooperstown, on Tuesday. On Wednesday they were examined. The hat relied upon as a clincher in the link of evidence was produced and tried on Charley, and behold it was three sizes too big for him. The other matters relied upon also had no more foundation and were easily disproved. Indeed, so convinced were the officers and the magistrate, of the erroneousness of their suspicions that the boys were examined, and so straightforward and truthful were their statements that they were discharged at once without the necessity of calling other witnesses. They returned to this place, and in an interview with them on Friday, they seemed well pleased with their treatment while in the hands of Sheriff Benedict, though not a little chagrined (and justly, too) that they had been subjects of suspicion, and that the reported evidence existing against them placed them in such a false position before the community.
We congratulate the boys upon their perfect vindication, and regret that we were the instruments of giving publicity to the suspicions and pretended evidence which caused their arrest, and we haste to make the amend honorable by giving them the benefit of this full contradiction. The boys we understand have been industrious during the entire winter and during that time at least, as well as heretofore, as far as we know, have been guilty of no impropriety which should cause unjust suspicion to attack to them.

Deaths
Wm. Brown, a farmer residing about four miles north of Otego village [Otsego Co. NY], was instantly killed on Thursday, March 5th, while at work in the woods. Mr. Brown, with his hired man, had cut two trees, which lodged and were prevented from falling to the ground. He (Brown) took his axe and reached under one of the trees to cut a sapling, and just at that time the trees gave way and fell to the ground, striking him and causing him to fall, face downward, with the tree on top of his head. The tree sprang back, so that the hired man released the victim, but life was extinct - death having evidently been produced instantly.

BROWN: In Smithville [Chenango Co. NY], on 8th, Sarah Christine [Brown] daughter of Edwin F. and Ulyssa Brown, aged 14 months.
Lines addressed to Mr. and Mrs. E.F. Brown, on the death of their children:
Oft when we think the storm is past / And all seems calm and clear, / There follows yet another blast / More sudden and severe, / E'en like to this the storms of life / Your Dellie bore away / One trial passed another came, / No love of yours could stay.
In the dark silence of the tomb / Thy first and last born resteth now, / Their lives they yielded while its bloom / Was fresh upon their brows; / Though short the summons yet it came, / As comes the welcome home, / When wearied out with toil and pain / He could no longer roam.
Their spirits now from sorrow free / In realms of bliss they soar, / And in full light and liberty / Their Maker adores / Then, O, fond parents do not weep / Their absence here below; / In Jesus now they sweetly sleep / With glory on their brows.
May he who called them thus away / To realms of glory bright, / Be your support while here you stay, / And guide your minds aright, / And when with your life's work is done, / Your cares and toils are o'er, / May you with those before you gone, / Meet on the heavenly shore.
