In Roseboom [Otsego Co. NY], Jan. 7th, Hannah [Peeso] wife of Theodore Peeso, in her 83d year.
At Oaksville [Otsego Co. NY], Jan. 17 of scarlet fever, Addie [Davidson] only child of Frank and Fannie C. Davidson and only grandchild of Benajah Comstock, aged 10 years and 1 month.
Thus, at the opening of the new year has a pall of sorrow settled upon the bright and happy home where so recently Addie was the light and joy - now left childless and chill. With sunshine in her face and gladness in her voice, she was like a butterfly, looking in daily upon Uncle and Grandpa on her way to school, leaving behind her a breath of summer all the day. But just one weary week of suffering came. Human skill and love were powerless to hold her, and her affectionate spirit was carried to the palace of angels and God. Loving and gentle herself, she was loved by all. she loved her Sabbath schools. they are mourners today. But while the problem of her death is unsolved by us, we think we hear her calling "This way, father, mother, friends, I am waiting for you."

News Item
George Evans of Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY], an account of whose shooting an old gentleman named Corydon Shapley, while fooling with a pistol in a hop yard near Hamilton [Madison Co. NY] on Monday of last week, we published in our last, was on Wednesday committed to jail in Morrisville [Madison Co. NY] to await the action of the Grand Jury, under the following verdict of the Coroner's jury:
"That the deceased came to his death from a pistol shot wound inflicted by George Evans, while pointing a pistol at deceased in an unlawful manner, but without premeditation or design to do harm, and that the said Evans is guilty of manslaughter in the first degree."
Elmore Sharpe, Esq. of this village [Norwich] acted as counsel for the prisoner, and a gentleman of this town went opt Hamilton to become his bail. But Judge Kennedy refused to receive bail, without first consulting with the District Attorney to see what the people claimed the offence was against the prisoner, and as Mr. Smith, the District Attorney, was that day away from home, he would await his return.
Evans is well known in this vicinity, having been somewhat conspicuous as a greenback advocate during the past year. His character, so far as we know, is good, and his friends regret the unfortunate situation in which his folly has placed him.
