Death
It is with uncommon feelings of regret that we are called upon to announce the death of Mr. Ira Day who expired suddenly on the morning of the 17th inst. in the 52d year of his age. Mr. Day has been long engaged in extensive mercantile transactions; a recent failure in which, produced a partial insanity, and has thus deprived the community of his life and of his usefulness. The deceased occupied a large space in society; and his loss will be deeply and materially felt. His dealings were marked with strict integrity, and the indigent ever found him a benefactor and a friend. He was, indeed, made up of those qualities that constitute a valuable and respectable citizen. To his family and relatives, this event is peculiarly afflicting; and we can only point to Him, whose "ways are past finding out," for solace and consolation in the mysteriousness of his dispensations.

In Preston [Chenango Co. NY], on Sunday evening, the 8th inst. at the residence of her son, Dr. Milton Mason, Widow Abigail Mason, relict of Gen. James Mason, formerly of Lebanon, Connecticut, aged 74 years.
Mrs. Mason had long been a professed follower of the Lord Jesus. The Bible was not only her constant companion, but the subject of her daily study. Her cheerful acquiescence in the will of her heavenly Father - the patience and resignation with which she bore the trials of a most distressing and protracted illness, afford abundant encouragement to her friends to trust that it is now well with her, and to feel that they do not mourn as those who have no hope and that to her may apply the divine benediction, "Blessed are the dead who die in the lord, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them."
