News Item
Mr. Hews [sic] of Otsego Co. [NY] the only survivor of that spartan band who, rather than suffer their countrymen to pay tribute on tea, threw it by cargo from British vessels into Boston harbor, went to New York on Wednesday the 24th ult. in the steamboat DeWitt Clinton, on his way to Boston, by invitation to participate in the celebration of the approaching anniversary. This veteran, though 100 years old in September next, retains his intellectual and physical powers and enjoys good health. He relates the particulars of the memorable Tea Party to the passengers with great precision and intelligence. Albany Journal [George Robert Twelves Hewes, d.

__________________________
Died in New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY] Dec. 30th, Eunice Russel aged 71 years.
"Aunt Eunice" has left us at last. We shall not see her again walking up and down our streets or welcome her again into our homes. The death angel came for her just as the old year was leaving us with its slow departing footfall. She passed the "Happy New Year" day in the sweet land of sunshine and song. We that were left upon the "pathwild" were not all happy, but the friendless beggar who has walked our streets for so many years was supremely happy. Friendless did I say? No, we were all friends to "Aunt Eunice," and there were many tears shed as we bore her away to the grave.
She might have been called ignorant and uncultured here, but somehow I think that "Aunt Eunice" now knows a thousand times more than any of us, and that she now has a form of grace and beauty.
Happy "Aunt Eunice?" She does not now feel the storms and cold of our wild winter. It was nothing but the old, unlovely casket that we laid away in the grave, while the beautiful spirit passed silently up to the great "home of many mansions."
Will "Aunt Eunice" forget those who were so kind to her, while she wandered among us as a sojourner? In the brightness and glory of the spirit life, will she remember the storms and sunlight that clustered around her pathway here? We know not the great mysteries of eternity. We only cling more closely to our loving father, believing that we shall meet "Aunt Eunice" in the great company of the redeemed. M.A.H.

Death
Mr. Lyman D. Burch died at his residence in this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY] on Monday January 1st, 1877. Mr. Burch was a man of prominence and well known to most of the businessmen in this and adjoining counties. He came to this village nearly thirty years ago and engaged extensively in the foundry business, which he conducted for many years with distinguished success. He invented, we believe, a number of stoves and ploughs which he patented and devoted some time to placing them upon the market. During the time he visited the World's Fair in London, and it was his boast that Queen Victoria had catch food cooked upon his stove. In dealings with his fellow man he was scrupulously correct and prompt and those who knew him best, pronounced him equally honest and conscientious. His roughness of manner, or exterior, not unfrequently prejudiced men against him, but we have heard many kind words spoken of his generous heart and uniform kindness to the sick and those in trouble.
