An exchange says Rev. T.B. Hudson, pastor of the M.E. Church in Clyde, was stricken down with paralysis while in the pulpit, Sunday before last. He had read about fifteen minutes, his voice as firm and distinct as on previous occasions. Suddenly he stopped and requested that the windows be let down to admit the fresh air. For a moment he stood pressing his hands to his forehead and leaning forward on the desk, then as if rallying all his strength for the effort, he began again and uttered the words of his sermon, "These days are passing away", and as the last syllable left his lips he sank back on the sofa insensible. A physician was called, but the clergyman was dead. For a period of thirty-three years in the active work of the ministry, he had become widely known throughout Central and Western New York.
News Item
On Monday afternoon, week before last, Ida Spencer, aged 12 years, was murdered at the residence of her mother in Syracuse [Onondaga Co. NY] by Albert J. Keeler, a young man of nineteen, nephew of Mrs. Spencer. The deed was done with a small bar of iron, a sort of poker, two feet in length. The girl lived about an hour after receiving the blow but gave no signs of intelligence. After committing the murder, the young man fled to the Central R.R. a short distance west of the depot, where he attempted at half-past five to jump on the forward end of an eastward bound freight train, missed his hold and fell to the ground with such force as to break his neck. No reason is ascribed for the murder.

Marriage
In this village [Union, Broome Co. NY] June 4 by Rev. Edward Taylor, D.D., Mr. Calvin Cranska of Binghamton [Broome Co. NY] to Miss Eva Mersereau of Union.
Death
In Albany [Albany Co. NY] May 30th, 1874, Julian Clark in the 47th year of his age.
Julian Clark, son of E.H. Clark, Esq., of this village [Morris, Otsego Co. NY], died in Albany last Saturday afternoon from an aggravated attack of bronchitis, complicated with typhoid fever.
Mr. Clark was born December 3rd, 1828, in Otsego County, N.Y., and at the time of his death was in the forty-seventh year of his age.
Many years of his life were devoted to railway interests. In 1866 and '67 he was General Superintendent of the Canandaigua & Niagara Falls Railroad. For several years he was General Auditor of the Williamsport & Elmira Railroad (now the northern Central) and at the time of his death was General Superintendent of the Albany & Susquehanna Railroad, having been elected to that office a short time ago. For three or four years he had been assistant Superintendent of that road.
In 1857, Mr. Clark's health failing him, he visited England, with the hope of recovering, but the trip proved of little or no benefit and for many years he was afflicted with rheumatism, which disease possibly might have had much to do in causing his death.
The deceased was a gentleman of marked intelligence and rare executive ability, a man of fine moral sensibilities, one who was admired and respected by all who came in contact with him either in social or business relations. We would not attempt to eulogize the dead. Mr. Clark was well known and all we might say would not add to nor take from the bright record of a life so exemplary as was his.
The remains, accompanied by an escort of railway officials, arrived here Sunday by special train from the A&S Railroad. The funeral took place Monday afternoon from the residence of his parents in this village [Morris] Revs. Henry Benson and D.A. Shepard officiating. Interment in the village cemetery.
While we deeply sympathize with those who were bound to the departed by the nearest and dearest ties, we share with them the hope of a reunion in that better world where there are no more partings and -?- forbids all tears.
