Three months have scarcely elapsed since the deceased came to reside amongst us in the enjoyment of health and every comfort. We fondly hoped she would add strength to the Church of her affection and cheer the circles of social life. But alas! thus it was not to be. After a confinement of more than ten weeks in a chamber of pain and suffering, she calmly yielded up her life and now is "hid with Christ in God." For her the grave had no terrors and death no sting, for her hopes were patiently and faithfully built upon one mighty to save.

A shocking accident occurred this morning at 7:30 o'clock at the Palmer house [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY]. A child of Mr. and Mrs. Lakieher, permanent boarders of the hotel, being placed in a chair at a front window in the third story, fell to the walk below, a distance of over 30 feet striking on the right side of the head and receiving injuries which proved fatal.
It appears that the windows reach the floor and that bars of wood secured an exit as high as a common chair bottom; that the babe expressed a desire to be placed in the chair to see the railroad and its accompanying noise and moving of trains, and the mother, after so placing it, turned to complete her dress for breakfast, when the child tipped out.
Mr. Griffis, proprietor, and Mr. Graham, clerk of the house, stood in the main entrance at the time, and immediately took the child up and carried him to the hotel parlors where he died in about twenty minutes.
Dr. Avery was called and, on his arrival, pronounced it a hopeless case. The child was a boy aged about thirteen months. Mr. and Mrs. Lakieher came from Illinois about the first of July and Mr. L. is an employee of Schom & Fotter, cigar makes of Norwich.
