Died in this village [Cherry Valley, Otsego Co. NY} on Sunday last, at a very advanced age, Mr. John Loughlin a native of Ireland.
In Decatur [Otsego Co. NY], on Saturday 29th ultimo. Mrs. Sally Seaward, wife of Deacon Noadiah Seaward, aged 74 years. Her death will occasion a chasm in society which few, very few, are capacitated to fill and her numerous connections and friends will long regret the loss they have experienced in this afflictive dispensation of Divine Providence.
In Sudbury township, Chester County, Penn. on Friday, the 21st ult. Mr. John Trevilla, aged about 50 years. The death of the deceased was sudden and singular. In August last, he was stung by a bee on the head. In the course of an hour after he received the wound, he complained of being unwell and was immediately seized with a fit of apoplexy, but by the assistance of medical aid, was restored to health again. On the day of his death, he went out a fishing with his hook and line in his usual good health. After his return home in the evening, he went out to the apple tree to gather apples. While there he received a wound in the head from a bee. He immediately became alarmed and told his wife he hoped it would not have the same effect on him that it had before. But alas! he soon began to complain of feeling very unwell, sat down on his bed, asked his wife to give him some water. He then lay down on the bed and in less than five minutes was a corpse.
In Weston, Conn. 19th instant, Mr. Bradley Treadwell after an illness of 5 days, aged 31 years, who manifested great composure and resignation to the will of heaven. The circumstances of his death were truly extraordinary. On the morning of the 19th, he gave the parting hand to all present. When all supposed he was dead, the neighbors were sent for to lay him out. About four hours after the suspension of life, when they were just about to proceed to lay him out, he was observed to have a small motion in his breast which surprised the bystanders, and soon increased signs of life began to appear. When one present spoke to him, whom he attempted to answer by making a faint inarticulate noise, which again terribly surprised them. He then suddenly, as from a sleep, arose in his bed and sat up. The first words he uttered were, "I have seen glorious things since I have been gone" (which was about 4 hours). "It appears to me I have been gone 4 or 5 days. I have seen the New Jerusalem, with all its habitable beauties, and heard the sweet music of the angels. I have seen and drank the waters of life, which have cured me. My conductor told me I must return for a small space and tell my friends and neighbors to prepare to meet me in that happy place." He continued to comfort and exhort all present the remainder of his time with great earnestness, which was about 4 or 5 hours. He also said, "I saw and heard the weeping of my friends from beyond the mountains, and heard its echo and re-echo and was told by my conductor to tell them not to mourn for me, but themselves." He continued in this state till he expired and sweetly fell asleep in Jesus. The above and foregoing was communicated to the subscriber by a person who was present at the time and whose veracity may be relied on with many other unexceptional witnesses. Seth Hall
