In Schenevas [Otsego Co. NY] on the 10th ult. Mr. William Haynes in the 74th year of his age. He died as he had lived, in full prospect of a blissful immortality beyond the grave. Few men, in as long a life have left so bright an example of moral integrity and rectitude as he has. Few men have left the work with their work, both spiritual and temporal, so faithfully and fully finished as he. No vain or ambitious ostentation of show, but a desire and a willingness to do that which conscience dictated to be right. Earth claimed his body and that debt of nature has been paid; but his spirit, no doubt, has joined the spirit of his bosom companion and other friends who have gone before him, in a purer and better world than this. His relatives and friends mourn his loss, yet they have many consoling reflections.

News Item
Fatal Affray at Sangerfield [Oneida Co. NY]: A bloody and desperate affray took place at Sangerfield Center on Monday evening. B.F. Button and a man by the name of Locke met at the hotel in that place, kept by Chas. Bennett and to settle a former difficulty engaged in a fight. Locke proved too much for Button and punished him severely. He then withdrew, leaving his vanquished antagonist in one corner of the room. Button became desperate and approaching Locke stealthily, after it was supposed the contest was at an end, drew a knife, which he had concealed about him and plunged it into the abdomen of Locke, making a gash three inches long, from which the intestines protruded. Locke lived about five hours after and died at 1 o'clock the next morning.
Bennett, the keeper of the hotel, was absent attending a school meeting when the affray commenced, but being sent for, came in and attempted to restore order, when Button rushed upon him and drove his knife into his left side, inflicting a severe wound. Bennett's wound is considered a very dangerous one, and although still living, great doubts exist as to his recovery.
An inquest over the body of Locke was held yesterday. The verdict of the jury was that he was willfully murdered by Button. Button was taken into custody and put in irons. He is to have an examination at Waterville today.
Bennett is a man of undoubted respectability and keeps a hotel surrounded by as quiet and orderly a population as can be found in the State. We learn these facts from a gentleman of Waterville, who says the above is according to the evidence before the coroner's jury. Observer
We learn from the Utica Democrat that Button has since been examined and committed to jail on the charge of murder.
