Death
Of billious fever at Selma, Alabama on the 3d of August after an illness of three weeks, Mr. Daniel W. Garret in the 25th year of his age, son of Daniel Garret of Bainbridge in this Co. [Chenango Co. NY].
Mr. G. left this county about a year ago for the south for the purpose of embarking in business with the enterprise of youth. It needs no record of his virtues upon paper to retain them in the remembrance of all who ever had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Having been reared among us, he had endeared himself to all. To amiability of deportment and a gentlemanly and retiring disposition, were added the qualities of the Christian. To his bereaved parents his loss is irreparable, having been the strong hope of their declining years. They, however, have the consolation of knowing that he died calm and resigned, tho' far form his native hills. He was by "Strangers honored and by strangers mourned."

Death
In Preston [Chenango Co. NY] on the 19th inst. after an illness of a few hours, Miss Lucretia Packer youngest daughter of William Packer, Esq. aged 26 years.
In the death of this young woman, we have a striking instance of the uncertainty of human life. Yesterday we saw her enjoying and enlivening the social circle of friends in all the bloom and beauty of health. Today, alas! we consign her mortal remains to the cold and silent grave! Could youth, beauty, or intelligence, have averted the shafts of the Dread Destroyer, we should now be spared the melancholy reflection that Lucretia is no more. But it is the fulfilment of destiny from which there is no exemption. 'Tis the way of all the world.
"Here would I dwell and heave the sigh, / Nor, haste to wipe the weeping eye: / 'Tis Pity's tear, O let it flow, / It soothes my heart, relieves my woe!"

News Item
Serious Accident: Capt. W.C. Bliven of the American Hotel, met with a painful accident between eight and nine o'clock on Wednesday morning. He had hitched his colt - a spirited animal - before a democrat wagon in which he was seated. Stopping in the lane which leads to his barn, he called Mr. Clark his assistant and was in the act of handing him some money, when the horse suddenly sprang forward, and the captain not having hold of his reins, was thrown over the back of the low seat, turning a somersault into the rear end of the wagon, from which he turned another somersault, striking upon his head and shoulders on the ground. He was taken up unconscious and carried into the house when medical aid was called. As we go to press (Wednesday afternoon) he is in a comatose state and suffering from concussion of the brain. His condition is critical and his recovery doubtful. Union
