Deaths

In this village [Delhi, Delaware Co. NY] on Wednesday last, Daniel Cameron aged 24 years.  the death of this most interesting young man has cast a shade of sadness over our little village, which is rarely produced by the loss of an individual.  Although from his peculiar circumstances, none lament over the broken ties of natural love, yet do we feel that society mourns for him as a good and useful citizen.  Religion mourns for him as a pious son and a warm advocate and in the hearts of many was he enshrined as a beloved brother. We do indeed feel that we have sustained a public loss, for virtues such as his are Heaven's richest blessings upon a community, therefore we may all claim the bereavement as our own.  In the selfishness of our grief we could murmur at this dispensation of infinite wisdom, did not religion remind us that the good are taken away from the evil to come and assure us that altho' he shall never return to us, yet may we go to him.

At Davenport [Delaware Co. NY] on the 3d inst. Joseph A. Goodrich, Esq. aged 50 years.

There is a tribute due to departed worth, besides the last sad tokens of respect shown to the lifeless remains.  While the heart of surviving friends bleeds from the recollection of the greatness of the loss sustained, and discovers excellences which before had been partially appreciated, it feels the full force of the sentiment - "How blessings brighten as they take the flight."  The subject of this notice was adorned with an unusual share of the amiable qualities which justly endear their possessor to the circle of their acquaintance. He made no ostentatious display, nor courted the popular applause.  His worth was best known to those who were most intimately acquainted with him.  He had no enemy.  Wherever he was known he was beloved.  Elevated repeatedly by his townsmen to the highest offices in their gift, he discharged the duties of these offices in a manner most satisfactory to his constituents.  But the most interesting feature in his character was his piety.  A few months previous to his death, he became the hopeful subject of saving grace, and while his health would admit, he engaged with becoming zeal and ardor in the work of his divine master.  His mind was imbued with the sublime and elevating principles of the Christian religion.  He exhibited in an unusual degree the meekness and humility distinguishing characteristic of the followers of him who was "meek and lowly in heart."  During his protracted sickness, no murmur was heard from his lips.  He manifested entire resignation to the will of his heavenly father, and left cheering evidence that his is the blessedness of "the dead that die in the Lord."
