Most Melancholy Event
On Saturday morning, the 21st inst. Miss Eliza M. Suydam daughter of Mr. John Suydam, of New York, lost her life at Trenton Falls, Oneida County [NY] under circumstances peculiarly distressing. They were these: Miss Suydam, with a party consisting of her father, mother, brother and other relatives, in the course of a contemplated tour to Niagara, visited the Trenton Falls. Whilst there and engaged in passing along the usual path for the purpose of viewing the falls, Miss Suydam, who had the arm of her brother, released it for a moment to enable him to assist the other ladies, when on again looking round, she was not to be seen, and the appalling truth became immediately evident, that she had fallen from the precipice into the rapid stream below. All that was discovered, however, was her hat and comb floating in one of the whirlpools, and it was not until the next day, and that by the aid of police, that the body was recovered. The disconsolate party returned to Utica [Oneida Co. NY], where the remains were interred on Sunday. Miss Suydam was in her seventeenth year, amiable and interesting. Her death under such circumstances is an affliction exceedingly severe to the relatives and has thrown a gloom over all the neighborhood of the accident. Albany Argus.
The Utica Observer adds the following to the particulars given above of the melancholy death of Miss Suydam:
Miss Suydam, being with Mr. Lang, in advance of the rest of the party, in passing a point of a rock fell into the stream and suddenly disappeared. Mr. L. Turned immediately to look for her, but all that could be discovered was her bonnet rapidly sinking in the whirlpool of waters. She did not rise to the top of the water, and any attempts to rescue her must not only have proved unsuccessful but have exposed anyone to certain destruction. Her afflicted friends were therefore repelled to look upon the distressing scene in mute despair and to indulge in unavailing sorrow without the power to put forth an effort to snatch her from an untimely grave, or without even being permitted to witness the last struggles of expiring nature - to see the "spirit wing its sudden flight to him who gave it." Death is an ordinary occurrence, but at such a time, in such a manner, his summons is truly appalling. We look with composure upon the death bed of age and even youth and manhood depart, in the ordinary course of providence, without shocking our sensibilities, but when one so young, so gay, so interesting is taken from us in the ardor of her expectation, in the bloom and freshness of health, at a moment too when her eye is sparkling with pleasure and her heart buoyant with cheerful images and not a thought is fixed on death it is inexpressibly painful. The hearts of friends are riven with grief and sadness and melancholy are stamped upon every brow. The place where the accidnet occurred, we are informed, is by no means dangerous. In fact, there is no situation where a favorable view of the Falls is to be obtained, but what is perfectly safe, with ordinary prudence on the part of visitors. They are visited by thousands every summer, and this is the first accident that has occurred.

Bainbridge Republican, Bainbridge, NY, September 19, 1878
Marriage
On Wednesday morning, September 18, 1878, transpired an event fraught with the greatest of life's interest to the participants - the marriage of George C. Northrup of Topeka, Kansas, to Miss Addie A. Alvord of Sidney Plains [Delaware Co. NY] formerly of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co. NY]. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Samuel Johnson at the residence of Mr. A.W. Alvord. Mr. Northrup was a former employee of this office, but now foreman of the Topeka job rooms of the Commonwealth office. He is certainly a very fine young man and has shown considerable taste in choosing so fair a bride. The united pair will remain about here for a fortnight when they will take their departure for their future home in Topeka.
"May life's best joys ever bless them, / And love's blossoms round them cling, / Mayh little ones gladden and caress them, / And every happiness bring."
The following stanza is sent us by our Sidney correspondent in relation to the above marriage:
All hail the wedded pair, / And midst the typy clink / And dauby ink / May fortune on them smile, / When they can say / Our first sweet, darling child.
