At the joyous wedding festival, the Editor is too often forgotten, though always called on to perform his part by announcing the happy event to the world. On this occasion, However, an innovation has been made upon the established custom, and we have been presented not only with a liberal share of wedding cake, but also with a bottle wine. We take this opportunity of acknowledging the favor and tendering our thanks to the donors with the assurance that they have our best wishes for many a year of uninterrupted happiness.

News Item
Epitaphs: Next to the famous epitaph on the tomb of Leonidas at Thermophylae, that to be seen over the grave of Push-ma-ta-ha, the Indian chief who died at Washington a few years ago is to our taste felicitously simple, characteristic and expressive. That of Leonidas, "Stop Stranger! You tread on the ashes of a Hero!" was the fruit of a philosopher's study. Poor Push-ma-ta-ha is simply the last words he ever spoke - "When I am gone, fire the big guns over me." Had learning and genius been invoked to the task, we question if they could have acquitted themselves so happily. Richmond Whig.

In this village [Cooperstown, Otsego Co. NY] on the evening of the 31st ult. Mr. William H. Smith aged 19 years. Our young friend was cut down in the midst of his years, and of the hopes of those who loved him. His character for steadiness and candor, combined with his strictly religious habits, gave an earnest to all who knew him of a life of usefulness. He gave much time to the improvement of his own mind and the interest he took in the religious education of those younger than himself formed a worthy example for the imitation of very many of more years than he numbered. His uniformly devoted life, as well as his truly peaceful death, warrant us in the conclusion that our loss is his endless gain. We hope the language of this Providence will prove an effectual warning to the living and especially to those of his years to prepare to meet their God. Then his early departure from the scenes of earth and sorrows which attend bereavement will not have been in vain.

Death
In Pierstown [Otsego Co. NY] on the 21st instant, Ann Adelaide [Warren] daughter of Russell and Jane Warren, aged 8 years and 16 days. During the last hours of her illness which were extremely painful, she displayed unusual brilliancy of mind and affection to the family who mourn her loss, and it is believed that:
She died before her priceless soul / Had burnt with wrong desires / Had ever spurned at Heaven's control, / Or ever quenched its sacred fires.
She died to sin; she died to care; / Bur for a moment felt the rod; / Then, rising on the viewless air, / Spread her light wings and soared to God.
