Fare thee well, thou darling Katie! / No more with us on earth thou'll dwell; / Oh! how tenderly we loved thee, / Well our bleeding hearts can tell - / Precious Katie, fare thee well!
Now, how vividly before us, / Memory brings thy winning ways; / And the sweetness of those accents, / When you sang the Saviour's praise - / Now unending songs you raise.
Oh! methinks I hear the praises, / In the home where now you dwell; / And the anthem louder raises, / As your voice their numbers swell - / Blessed Katie, fare thee well!
When our days on earth are numbered - / All its cares and joys are o'er / May we meet thy happy spirit, / Where we weep and sigh no more.

It is with the most profound regret that we are called upon to announce the death of Rev Dr. Nathaniel Kendrick. the incurable disease under which he has suffered for the past two years might have spared him a considerable time longer, but a little more than a week since, he was seized with the prevalent summer complaint, and all attempts to stay its progress proved futile. He died on Monday evening last at a quarter past seven o'clock. Truly a good man has fallen. During a long residence in this village Dr. Kendrick has endeared himself to every one by his greatness of mind and soul, unaffected piety and true Christian courtesy. The whole community will mourn his death and revere his memory. Hamilton Reflector

Death
A man by the name of Josiah Baker died suddenly in a garret occupied as a dwelling by Edward T. Armstrong in this village, on the morning of the 14th. A Coroner's inquest was held upon the body. Verdict: "Death caused by intemperance and exposure." It appears from the evidence before the jury, that Baker formerly resided in Otsego Co. [NY]; has been in and about this village four or five months past and has worked some of the time at shoemaking, some of the time on the canal, and some of the time doing chores for the groggery establishments in town. He drank all he could get; went part of the time without food and lodged in barns, until his iron constitution gave way. Two or three of these groggery keepers were examined before the jury to disclose their agency in hurrying this man into eternity. they agreed in opinion that this man was not a drunkard, but rather a moderate drinker, because he rarely bought more than three drinks per day at the different establishments, besides what they gave him for choring.
The individuals, the keepers of these hell holes, if their consciences are not wholly seared, must have pleasant reflections, knowing as they must, that they have been directly instrumental in causing this unfortunate man's death, by dealing out to him day after day that which has hurried their victim to an untimely grave.
The law givers in this village, have it in their power to stop this unholy traffic, and we trust they will enforce the law touching this matter, and for once do their duty. Otherwise, we apprehend, individuals will be under the necessity of taking the law into their own hands, as was the case a few months since, and demolishing these sinks of iniquity.
