Death
A son of Mr. Shaw, of this village [Rochester, Monroe Co. NY] while engaged in picking staves from the driftwood lodged at the lower bridge, on Thursday last, fell into the river and was swept over the falls. It was an awful scene. The poor youth employed a brief moment "like some strong swimmer in his agony," in attempting to reach the shore, but the current was too impossible and upon approaching the precipice, he raised his imploring arms and breast erect and in an agony of despair was precipitated into an abyss from whose "bourne no traveler returns." Rochester Tel.

Accompanying the above we received a portion of Wedding cake. This is as it should be and speaks volumes in favor of the good judgement of the happy couple. May their shadows never grow less and may the pledges of affection accumulate around the fireside altar. The cake being very delicious we trust we shale be excused for perpetrating the following lines:
Let storms and winds life's era assail, / Thy bark we trust may ride / Unharmed by the officious winds, / That sometimes swell the tide.
Dark clouds at times may dim thy sky, / And threaten each hope to 'whelm, / But Peace shall always be thy guest, / If love only guides the helm!
