________________________
In this village [Cherry Valley, Otsego Co., NY] on the 17th inst. at the residence of her father-in-law, O. Judd, Esq., Mrs. Martha L. Judd, wife of Mr. John Judd and daughter of Capt. Darius H. Cary of Richfield [Otsego Co. NY] aged 23 years and 5 days. Her complaint was consumption. Though recently married, by the advice of friends, she went south last fall in the hope of mitigating, if not curing her disorder, and spent the last winter there. The hope was fallacious, and she had barely strength left to return and die in the midst of her kindred.
If youth, virtue and intelligence could have arrested the shaft of the destroyer, she would have escaped, for she had all these with the kindest attention of husband and friends and the best medical advice superadded.
Her patience and fortitude during the whole course of her illness, were extraordinary, if not unexampled, and her meek and pious resignation at the hour of departure, beseeching those attending the last scene not to mourn her change is consoling to them and full of blessed promise. Yet it is contrary to the nature of human benevolence to obey such an injunction, and her purity and excellence will be long and deeply felt and deplored by her dearest and most respectable acquaintance in this painful bereavement.

In Decator [Otsego Co. NY] on the 13th inst., Nahum T. Brown youngest son of Mr. Jacob and Mrs. Martha Brown, aged 18 years.
Amiable, affectionate, possessing a strict moral character, and the idol of the family. Loved and respected by all his friends and acquaintance.
His suff'ring pain and probation o'er, / And life's dull vanities attract no more / There all is tranquil from his anguish'd breast, / in long and full quiescence sinks to rest.

Deaths
We learn from Burlington in this county [Otsego Co. NY] that the dead body of Mr. Jared Hubbard, of the firm of Walker and Hubbard, merchants, Burlington Flats, was found on Tuesday morning last lying upon the mill dam near his residence, partly covered by water. Mr. H. had been engaged in his business until about 10 o'clock at night, when he left for his dwelling, to arrive at which he was obliged to cross a bridge. From that time until the finding of the body, nothing is known of him. On the Coroner's inquest it appeared that Mr. H's hat was found on the bridge about 12 o'clock by the foreman in his tannery who had been late at work and was going to his residence at that hour, but not suspecting evil, no inquiry was made that night, and that groans were heard about 10 o'clock by boys who were fishing not far from the bridge, who supposed they proceeded from some person designing to frighten them and not from actual distress. It is stated, too, that the hat bore marks of violence and contusions were found on the head. A handspike was also found on the bridge; all forcing a conclusion that violence by some person unknown caused his death and that the body was thrown from the bridge. The lungs gave evidence of suffocation.
Mr. H. was about 30 years of age, of correct habits and mild deportment and has left a wife and two children. Freeman's Journal

Death
In this village [Cherry Valley, Otsego Co. NY] on the 6th inst. Miss Elizabeth Faulkner, daughter of Mr. Edgington Faulkner in the 21st year of her age.
Her decease has afflicted with poignant sorrow and distress the family of which she was a member and has elicited in their behalf the sincere sympathy and condolence of the community in which they reside. Embalmed in the memory of her friends will be the recollection of her unaffected virtues, her amiable and exemplary deportment and kind and affectionate disposition. Her endurance of the most intense physical anguish during her protracted and fatal illness, with meek and uncomplaining resignation, evinced not only fortitude, admirable and affecting, but indicated the possession of the higher and purer consolations of religion and faith of inappreciable value to the dying sufferer and replete with hope and comfort to her bereaved friends.
