Another Revolutionary Soldier gone: Died in this village [Jamestown, Chautauqua Co. NY] on the 6th inst., Mr. Thomas Matthews at the advanced age of 93 years and 6 months. He was a native of Connecticut and at the commencement of the struggle between this country and Great Britain, he sided with his oppressed countrymen and entered the American army, being attached to the regiment of Col. Campbell. He was in many a hard-fought battle and had many hair breadth escapes. Five years of the strength of his manhood were expended in his country's service. Many an interesting tale has he told to the third generation of Old Pat. Mad Anthony, as he used to call Gen. Wayne and of Gen Washington, whose lives have become a part of our national history. He has gone to join his compatriots who by the bravery, privations and hardships, have left the American people the rich legacy of civil and religious liberty. The last of this noble race of men will soon disappear from among us. His funeral was held in the Presbyterian Church of this village, whose pastor, the Rev. E.J. Gillet is a grandson of his, and was altered by a numerous concourse of our citizen. Jamestown Journal

Death
Fatal Runaway: On Tuesday afternoon of last week, as Mr. and Mrs. Orrin Carter were on their way home, a short distance above this village [Greene, Chenango Co. NY], their horse became frightened at the cars, when in the vicinity of Mr. William F. Russell's residence, and ran, tipping the carriage over, throwing the aged couple out upon the ground with great violence. Mrs. Carter received very bad bruises about the head and face, and Mr. Carter had a shoulder blade and one or two ribs broken, besides being injured otherwise internally. They were cared for by physicians and the neighbors and finally taken home. Mr. Carter lingered along until Monday morning, when death put an end to his sufferings. Mrs. Carter is improving. Mr. Carter was an old and respected resident of this town, and his death will be mourned by a large circle of friends. Greene American
