On the 18th inst. while Capt. Thomas Card long a respectable citizen of New Lisbon [Otsego Co. NY] was drawing hay, he was observed to recline upon the load and though immediately lifted therefrom and every effort made to restore him, he survived but a few moments. Although he had lived twelve years beyond the time allotted to man, yet we were reluctant to part with him as he was truly an honest man, which is the noblest work of God.
At the residence of his son-in-law, Hiram A. Matteson, near Garratsville [Otsego Co. NY] Aug. 9, 1869, died Levi Tenny, Esq. of Plainfield, Otsego Co. [NY] in the 89th year of his age. Mr. Tenny was born in Bennington, Vt, Feb. 22, 1781, and settled in the town of Plainfield in 1812 where he continued to reside until within a few months past. The generation to which he belonged has passed away and another has come and gone, so that the knowledge of his early everyday life lives only among his kindred and the two or three octogenarians of his associates, who yet survive. The Christian character has had few brighter exemplars among us, not so much in the graces that give a charm to social intercourse as in the inflexible discharge of duties dictated by an enlightened conscience. He believed the business of a Christian to be to labor without ceasing to banish sin and misery from the world and to promote the good of mankind. To this end he gave liberally of this time and substance to spread the Bible and the gospel in his own and foreign lands. The suffering and the afflicted met a ready sympathy and the poor never went away empty-handed from his door. Others, whose mission it was to do good, always received his cordial greetings, hospitable entertainment and active cooperation. The burden of his morning and evening prayer was for the amelioration of the condition of mankind, the conversion of the heathen, the spread of light and knowledge; and he worked as he prayed, as the records of the American Bible Society, the Otsego County Bible Society, The American Board of Foreign missions, of all of which bodies he was a member, as well as his thousand and one acts of public and private charity, amply bear witness. The consecration of two of his children at an early age to the work of foreign missions testifies to the influence of his faith and example in the domestic circle. The cause of education lay very near his heart. He not only opened the doors wide to his own family but contributed liberally of his abilities and means for the improvement of common schools and the establishment and maintenance of higher schools and colleges. The instances of the generous devotion of a lifetime to the work of Christian philanthropy are too few to be passed over in silence and it is fitting that the labors of this soldier of the Cross should be recalled to mind. As he lived in the constant conscientious discharge of duty, so he was always ready for the summons to his Master's presence. Mercifully spared form suffering in his latter days in the full possession his mental faculties unimpaired by age, he fell asleep on the night of Aug. 9th, apparently as usual, but awoke in the presence of his maker.

News Item
The Greene American is responsible for the following: A bright little boy, by the name of Frank Dennison, about 8 years of age in company with his father, D. Dennison of Ketchumville, Tioga Co. N.Y. visited our office on Monday of this week. This little boy had the most remarkable looking eyes we ever saw in a human being, the iris and pupils of which were of a bright red color. The most singular thing about this boy is, he can see much better in the night than in the day, and his father informed us that his little son could, in a room perfectly darkened distinguish and pick up the smallest object that might be thrown on the floor. In fact, he discerns objects in the darkest night as readily as persons generally do in the brightest day. The appearance of this little boy struck us with wonder and amazement.

At Hartwick Sem. [Otsego Co. NY] Nov. 1st, infant daughter of Wm. D. and Fannie L. Burditt aged 2 months and 26 days.
In Unadilla [Otsego Co. NY] Oct. 28, Mrs. Mary Nichols in her 74th year.
At her residence in Unadilla [Otsego Co. NY] Nov. 2d, 1878, Mrs. Ellen Norton, widow fo the late Alfred Norton.
Mrs. Norton survived her husband, who died on the 19th of October last, but two weeks. He had been very ill several months, and during his illness she had given him her untiring care and undivided attention, and when death severed the marital relation that had bound them nearly fifty years, the shock to her always sensitive heart and her now wearied constitution, suddenly broke the cord that held her to earth. She left the world as she had lived in it, in the firm assurance that when this earthly tabernacle was dissolved she would have a home "not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."
