This community was pained to learn by a telegram Thursday morning of the death of John Freiot which occurred Wednesday afternoon at about 5 o'clock near Murdoc's on the Beaverkil.  The deceased left Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY], Tuesday morning, in company with Mr. Brown, Philo Hoag, James Phillips and Stephen Seacord to be absent several days on a fishing excursion.  While standing upon the bank of a small creek in the vicinity of Murdoc's he was seen to fall.  His friends at once gathered about him, but the vital spark had fled.  It is believed that he died from an apoplectic fit.   Bainbridge Review

Colonel Robert Hughston of Sidney [Delaware Co. NY], died at his residence last week. the Delaware Republican says of him:  "He was for many years a magistrate of his own town; one of the school superintendents of this county about thirty years since; twice elected County Clerk of this county, which office he left to take command of the Delaware Regiment (144th) on its organization.  He remained in the field about one year, when he was compelled to resign on account of ill health and has never regained his old-time vigor and endurance.  He was a man of good abilities, great cordiality and amiability of dispostiion and universally beloved by the community and a large acquaintance who will deeply feel his loss."

The Schenevus Monitor says:  Widow Northrup living is Westford [Otsego Co. NY] died from actual starvation last Tuesday night.  She persistently refused food for some ten or twelve days before she breathed her last. The deed is attributed to aberration of mind caused by old age and trouble.
