Died. SPENCER - In this village, on the 28th ult., Mr. Isaac SPENCER, aged 79 years. Mr. S. has for many years been a resident of Blodgett's Mills.

H.L. COLLINS, Esq., whose illness we alluded to several weeks ago, died at his residence last Wednesday night. His age was 55. He had resided in Cortland some fourteen or fifteen years, and filled the office of Justice of the Peace for ten or twelve years. He was an upright man, his conduct always being governed by conscientious motives.

    Mrs. Louisa, wife of Lester HALL, died very suddenly, not long since. Her funeral was attended by a large assemblage, she having been an old and highly respected member of the M.E. Church. Mr. HALL was quite sick at the time of his wife's death, but is now better.

Willett, Feb 1, 1870
    Died Jan. 8, at his residence in Willett, Mr. Jedediah GREEN, aged 60 years. Few men have ever lived in our town more beloved and respected than the deceased.

    Alvirus FRY, Esq., buried his youngest daughter Jan.30.

    A Sad Case. - On Wednesday a poor woman named Marian COBB, of Homer, Cortland County, with two children, took the cars to Petersburg, Rensselaer county. On the route, as we learn from the Albany Express, her little son fell asleep on a vacant seat. The mother supposed he would remain there until the train arrived at Schenectady, where she would have to change and paid little attention to him. Soon the child was missed, and the mother continued on her way to Albany in a state of great mental excitement. Upon arriving in the depot of that city, a dispatch stating that an unknown child had been run over at Fonda and its leg crushed was placed in the hands of the conductor of the train and it was then only too evident that the little fellow had wandered out of the car and had fallen off the platform. The mother, who is a poor woman, went back to Fonda and recovered the remains. - Syracuse Journal.

    The body of Mrs. BETTS, mother of Mrs. James CALVERT, of Cortland, was brought here this morning on the cars, from New Brunswick, N.J., for interment in our cemetery.

    Mr. John O'LEARY, a young and popular Irishman, for many years a resident of this village, and a member of W.W. Hose Cp., died of consumption last Saturday evening. His funeral took place this forenoon, the entire Fire department, preceded by the Cortland Band, and followed by a procession of carriages such as Cortland rarely has witnessed, accompanying the body to the grave.

    We hear that a fatal accident happened to a Mr. GOODELL, at Cold Brook, who was felling trees, when a branch struck him to the earth. Help was soon obtained, but on reaching him he was found on his knees vomiting blood, from which he died not long after. Doubtless a blood vessel was ruptured.

    Last Wednesday morning, as Addison BENTON, of Virgil, was chopping wood on the farm of Chas. HUTCHINGS, the ax glancing struck the calf of his right leg, cutting a deep gash and severing the main artery. It is evident that he did not suppose himself seriously wounded, as he called to Hallet SHEPARD, who was at work near by, and sent him for help, saying that he himself would walk to the house of Wesley HUTCHINGS, which was not far away. After proceeding about twenty rods, he became weakened through the loss of blood and fell to the ground, but died immediately on reaching it. Mr. BENTON was about 22 years of age, and was highly respected. What is singular in connection with this accident, is the fact that Mr. BENTON had a premonition of his fate, as he expressed himself to one of the family that morning to the effect that he did not feel as though he ought to go out chopping, although he was unable to give any satisfactory reason for his objection.

Died. GURNSEY - In Marathon, on the 3d inst., Lucinda, wife of Theron C. GURNSEY, aged 28 years.

Died. GATES - In Homer, on the 4th inst., Mrs. Polly GATES, widow of the late Daniel GATES, aged 87 years and 5 months.

Died. CLARK - In Homer, on the 4th inst., of inflammation of the lungs and heart disease, Mrs. Mary Jane, wife of Daniel W. CLARK, aged 38 years.

    Mrs. Chas. TOWER met with an accident last Sunday, while on her way to church in Homer, and received such serious injury that it is feared she cannot recover. In company with the family of Alanson HOBART, she was riding in a buggy, and sitting in the lap of another lady, when the horse becoming frightened, jumped to one side, throwing Mrs. TOWER to the ground, and fracturing her skull.
    P.S. - Mrs. TOWER has since died.

Obituary. - The venerable patriarch of Oberlin, known to all its students and residents for a score and more years as "Father KEEP," died in that place last Saturday, Feb. 12th, at the age of 89. He has been in very feeble health for some months, but the vigor he had preserved until last summer was remarkable. His old age bore abundant witness to the conservant effects of a heart kept in sympathy with younger folks and in step with the progress of events around him. -Advance.
    Mr. KEEP was pastor of the Congregational Church of Homer from 1821 to 1833, and will long be remembered as an able preacher and faithful pastor.

Died. KINNEY - In Houston, Texas, Feb. 14th, Somers KINNEY, Esq., late editor of the Houston Times, at the age of 45 years.

    The following verses were arranged, and sung at her funeral at the M. E. Church, on Sabbath last:

		I.
	Gone to the grave is our loved one,
	Gone tho' in childhood's hour;
		Our hearts are left
		Sadly bereft,
	For we shall see her no more.

		Chorus.
	She has gone down the valley,
	The deep, dark valley;
	We'll see our Minnie nevermore
	Till we pass down the valley,
	The dark, death valley,
	And meet her on the other shore.

		II.
	Sweetly her form will be sleeping
	Under the cypress shade;
		Sad tho we be,
		Fondly will we
	Cherish the name of our dead.

		III.
	Down thro' the valley before us,
	Down to the other shore;
		But with the blest,
		Fair land of rest,
	Weeping will come nevermore.

		IV.
	When from our work He shall call us,
	When here our warfare's o'er
		She then will come
		To welcome us home,
	And we shall part nevermore.

		Chorus.
	When we're gone down the valley,
	The deep, dark valley,
	We'll be with our Minnie evermore;
	For the shade of that valley,
	The dark, death valley,
	Can never reach the happy shore.

Died. POMEROY - In this village, on Thursday, April 21st, after an illness of four days, from inflammation of the bowels, Gussie, son of S. T. POMEROY, aged 8 years and 20 days. [see 3 May 1870]

Died. McCORMICK - In Lock Haven, Penn., on Thursday, April 21st, Mrs. Sarah McCORMICK, aged 65 years. Deceased was a sister of Daniel BRADFORD of this village.

    The body was taken on Sunday to Virgil for interment.

Died. CRANDALL - In McGrawville, on Monday, April 18th, 1870, Clarence CRANDALL, aged 16 years, 2 months and 28 days.
    His brief sickness of but a week's duration was exceedingly painful, yet was borne with that fortitude which only divine grace can inspire.
    The last and warmly-loved child of an oft-bereaved household, his was a peculiar place in the hearts of the family. Such were his traits of character, both natural and acquired, that he made himself a warm place in the hearts of those who knew him best. Never found wanting wherever placed, always dutiful, always gentle and kind, he commanded in an unwonted degree, the respect of all and won the deep love of many.
    But a death such as his, though early, is not to be mourned; for his preparation for the blessed life to come, was, through faith in Jesus Christ, complete. During a powerful revival in the Presbyterian church, he experienced, as we trust, not quite two months before his decease, the regenerating words of ........ .......................greater attractions, and thither he longed to go. Hours before his death, he was anxious for his pulse to cease, that he might meet those who had gone before and be at rest. Without tasting the bitterness of life's earthly cup, as it has been mixed for many, he passed to heavenly joys.

Died. DOUD - In McGrawville, Monday, April 25th, Reuben Griffin DOUD, aged 69 years, 7 months and 12 days.
    The death of Mr. DOUD, because of its suddenness, caused such a shock to this community as has seldom been felt here. The day his eternal summons came, he seemed in better than usual health and spirits. In the afternoon he was in the field at work, when suddenly he fell upon his face. Not more than two minutes elapsed from the time he was observed at work till his son reached him to render assistance. Turning him over, life was found to be extinct. Apparently without a struggle, without pain, his spirit took its flight.
    In his house he will be sadly missed. His fireside he loved. Kind, considerate, attentive, he had the affection of all who came within the family circle.
    As a neighbor, he was the object of affectionate regard. Peaceable, conciliatory, obliging, he lived harmoniously with those around him.
    As a citizen, he was highly esteemed by all. He was upright, conscientious, ......achable. The most of his active business life was spent here. He was not only known, but well known. A man of few words, his life was manifested in his deeds rather than his speech. When the time for action came, he was always found on the right side. For what he ... and for what he did, he will be held in grateful remembrance.

    Through the kindness of Mr. N.H. HAYNES, we learn the particulars of a somewhat mysterious and unusually determined case of suicide, which happened in the woods of Mr. BUCHANAN, and about a mile and a half from the County Poor House. It seems that an Irishman by the name of CLEARY, as he afterwards gave it, came by train (having been furnished with a ticket by the Onondaga County Superintendent of the Poor) to Cortland, on the 12th inst., and applied to Mr. Benjamin WELCH, our Superintendent, for admission to the County House, which, of course, Mr. W. could not give. He went, however, to the Poor House, where he remained until Saturday morning, when he was informed that he could not be kept longer, and he therefore left. On Tuesday morning Mr. BUCHANAN, while searching through his woods for some cattle, discovered among the underbrush a pair of human feet resting upon a small log, and a further examination disclosed the body lying upon its back, having fallen from the log upon which he had apparently been resting at the time of committing the fatal act. Alarm was immediately given, and Coroner BARNES being notified, a jury was impaneled, and an inquest held in the woods where the body was found. The legs, arms and neck had been terribly cut up, but none of the gashes were deep enough to sever an artery, and, as Surgeon HUGHES testified, from 24 to 48 hours had passed ere death ensued. As no letters or memoranda of any kind was found upon him, nothing further was known regarding his antecedents than what was stated to the inmates of the County House - that he had come from Rochester. Starvation could not have been the cause, as he had with him provisions for two or three days, and it is mere surmise that he was tired of life. His age was probably between 50 and 60, as his hair was nearly white.

Died. POMEROY - From this place, on Sunday, May 29th, at 7 A.M., after an exceedingly painful sickness of three weeks, of inflammatory rheumatism, Wilbur Herbert ("Bertie"), son of Sanford T. and Mary E. POMEROY, aged five years and seven months, went to join his little brothers Fordie and Gussie, in "The Better Land."

Died. BROWN- In this village , on the morning of Tuesday, June 2d [or 21?], 1870, of disease of the heart, Mary L., daughter of Isaac W. and Mary A. BROWN, aged 16 years and 1 day.
    Although a sufferer for upwards of five months, during which time, though surrounded with all the medical skill that could be procured, she had been gradually sinking, and death had been expected, yea, welcomed as a relief, yet it is difficult to realize that the dearly loved daughter is indeed gone forever. Those only who have been similarly afflicted can fully appreciate the deep sorrow of the stricken parents. The funeral will be held at the residence on Thursday, at 3 P.M., from whence the remains will be taken to Homer for burial.

Died. MERRICK - In this village, June 15th, 1870, of heart disease, Mrs. Lucinda MERRICK, relict of the late Danforth MERRICK, Esq., aged 70 years and 10 days.
    Mrs. MERRICK was born in Columbia, Conn., but when nearly 7 years of age removed to the eastern part of this State, after which she came into Cortlandville and has been a resident of this village for fifty years.
    She was an affectionate and faithful wife, a kind mother, a friend to the poor, and an excellent and influential member of society. In her religious views she was a consistent and exemplary Universalist, ever ready in words and deeds to commend to others the beauties and divine excellencies of her glorious and elevated faith, which during her long and useful life, served as an "anchor to the soul both sure and steadfast."
    As her physical strength diminished her spiritual strength increased more and still more, till she departed from this to the joys of a higher and better life.
    She leaves two sons and two daughters besides other relatives to mourn her departure, and yet they rejoice that the dear one is at rest. Her funeral was attended on the 17th inst., by relatives and a large concourse of sympathizing friends to whom a sermon was preached by Rev. J.H. HARTEN, of Auburn N.Y.

Harford, July 5, '70.
P.S. - This morning an Irishman by the name of William P. MALLORY, a workman of the railroad, living at this place, was run over by the returning excursion train from Owego, which visited Auburn yesterday. His head was entirely severed from the body, one arm cut off, and both legs crushed. Cause, strong drink.

Harford, July 25, '70
About 3 o'clock last Friday afternoon, as Mr. Jarrison HEFFRON of this place, and a man by the name of SMITH were at work felling a tree, a limb caught, and hitting Mr. HEFFRON on the head, knocking him senseless for a few minutes. On recovering, SMITH obtained a conveyance and took him home. Drs. KNAPP, of Harford, and BARNES, of Marathon, were quickly called, but no help could be given him, and about 12 o'clock of the same night he died. He was buried on Sunday, the funeral taking place at the residence of the deceased.

       Lines on the Death of Willie POLLARD
                       by J.E.
     A little floweret grew beneath
       The tender, loving care
     Of those who watched and tendered it,
       So sweet, and pure, and fair.

     That little floweret, "Willie dear,"
       The youngest and the pet,
     Was in a moment stricken down;
       His morning sun has set.

     I wish not to get well and play,
       With smiling face he said,
     When asked to take the bitter draught
       But for your sakes I will.

     O mother dear! do take me home,
       I'm tired, I want to rest;
     O do not feel so bad for me,
       He calmly did request.

     Dear parents, brothers, sister dear,
       Think of the fadeless crown
     That now encircles Willie's brow
       And 'twill your sorrows drown.

     An angel bright is Willie now,
       And beckons you to come,
     To meet him in that land of light,
       That bright and happy home.

     Dear schoolmates now a tribute bear,
       Your brightest flowers bring,
     Fair immortelles and myrtle twine,
       Love's fadeless offering.

     And daily strew his grave with flowers,
       That loved one from your band,
     So lately taken from your midst
       By a bright angel band.

He was Wednesday morning sentenced by Judge MARVIN to be hanged on the fourth of November next, between the hours of nine and three o'clock.

    Mr. THOMPSON was formerly a resident of this vicinity, where he has a large circle of relatives. He leaves a wife (daughter of Mr. T. CONGDON, of this village,) and one child. The remains were brought to Cortland for interment.

Died. NEWCOMB - On the 24th inst., of typhoid fever, at the residence of her son-in-law, Rev. G.W. HOWLAND, in Salisbury Centre, Herkimer Co., N.Y., Louisa M. NEWCOMB, aged 63 years, 8 months and 28 days.

Died. McALLISTER - In Shipman, Ill., Sept. 7th, Morgan McALLISTER, aged 24 years.
    The deceased was formerly of South Cortland, but for the past three years had been in the employ of the Chicago, Alton and St. Louis R.R. Co. as brakeman. On the night of the 7th ult., while passing along the top of the train, and just on the point of stepping from one car to another, the coupling broke, and the cars separating, he was precipitated to the track, where four of the cars passed over him, injuring him so severely that he died in about five hours. His remains were accompanied home by Mr. Zera TANNER, who was in the employ of the same road. We consider that the kindness of Mr. TANNER is worthy of this mention. Morgan is spoken of as upright and honest, and always at his post. His death was painfully sudden.

 Good-by, cherished father, good-by until we meet
 In that beautiful city with its golden street,
 Where the flowers ne'er fade on that evergreen shore,
 Where loved ones are gathering to welcome us o'er.

Died. ORMSBY - In Homer, on the 18th inst., Mr. D.D.R. ORMSBY, aged 58 years.
    Acquainted with the deceased since boyhood, we can earnestly testify to his kindness, integrity, and the manly qualities of which he was possessed. Indeed, we never knew a more generous, disinterested friend and neighbor. His death is indeed a personal as well as public loss.

Died. COLEGROVE - In Cincinnatus, N.Y., Aug. 6th 1870, Mrs. Elizabeth M., wife of Edward J. COLEGROVE, aged 28 years.
    Five or six years ago she went down into the waters of baptism and put on Christ at the same time that her husband was baptized. She then united with the seventh day Baptist church in Cuyler, and from that day until her Divine master called her away, she lived a faithful, devoted, Christian life, witnessed a good confession, and died in the hope and full assurance of a glorious resurrection. She was a kind and affectionate woman, loved by her neighbors and all who knew her. She has left behind her an affectionate husband and a dear little girl to mourn over her death, and they have the sympathy of the entire community.

                Dearest sister, thou hast left us,
                  Here thy loss we deeply feel;
                But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
                  He can all our sorrows heal.

Victor BIRDSEYE for fourteen years, as overseer and manager of his large landed estate. For the past twenty-seven years he has been a resident of Tully. By his industry, strict integrity and sterling worth he won the respect and esteem of all who knew him.

Died. DUNBAR - In Preble, on the 28th ult., Mrs. Catharine DUNBAR, aged 67 years.
    Mrs. DUNBAR was a native of Ulster Co., N.Y., and removed to this county thirty-three years ago, twenty-seven of which she has resided in Preble. At the age of seventeen she united with the Presbyterian church. In her death the church has lost an active, zealous worker, a generous contributor and wise counselor; the community, a warm-hearted, social, and highly-esteemed friend; her children, an ever kind, loving mother; her husband, an affectionate, worthy wife, whose kindness endeared her to all.

          "As sets the western sun,
           So sank a loving soul to rest."

Died. PHELPS - In Cortland, Oct. 17th, 1870, Mr. Benjamin C. PHELPS, aged 75 years, 2 months and 17 days.

    Brakeman Killed. - About three o'clock yesterday afternoon, Martin PEMBROOK, a brakeman on the Syracuse and Binghamton division of the Delaware and Lackawanna railroad, was almost instantly killed by falling between two cars and being run over. He was walking on the top of the cars, and in jumping from one to another fell, as stated. This accident occurred at Chenango Forks. His body was terribly crushed and mangled. The deceased was eighteen years of age, and had but recently come into the employ of the company. He was a sober and intelligent young man, and had many friends. His remains were taken to the residence of his widowed mother at Binghamton. Syracuse Journal, 15th inst.

Died. WOODEN - In Virgil, of Typhoid Fever, on Saturday, Dec. 17, Hattie C., only daughter of John and Catherine WOODEN, aged 13 years.
    "The king of shadows loves a shining mark." A cherished bud just beginning to blossom and to spread abroad fragrance everywhere, has suddenly been snatched from its parent stem and laid away in the cold bosom of earth. An only daughter, upon whom the affections of parents had been placed, - one whom they looked upon for happiness in their declining years; but alas, too fondly! Suddenly, when least expected, Death - cold, relentless Death - enters the household and takes away that graceful form, that joy-beaming countenance, leaving a vacant chair at the table and fireside, which never again can be filled as once it was.
    An only sister, who leaves two brothers to mourn her loss, is gone. One, a little, infant form, who had trusted in her confidingly, and just begun his young and innocent life with her to lead and to keep him from wandering away.
    Not only has a family circle been broken, not only have parents been bereft of the presence of a dear one, not only have brothers lost a loving sister, not only have the bonds of friendship been rent asunder, but a school has also felt keenly the absence and departure of one of its most promising members. All mourn the loss of a schoolmate and most obedient pupil; one whose very presence and words so kindly spoken were felt and known by all.
    Of the twenty-six pupils who entered school the first day, with the determination to do a good winter's work, the prospects of none were brighter than those of Hattie. Yet she remained with us only six short days. Willingly did she obey the rules of school, willingly perform every task allotted to her when well she could. Well do we remember the last time she asked to be excused from a duty assigned to her, on account of ill health. Little did we then think it would be the last time we ever would excuse her; but such it was; it was her last illness. From that time, nearly four weary weeks of suffering, ever hoping, did she, with the kindest and best of care, endure sickness and pain.

Died. COOK - In Preble, Dec. 10th, 1870, in the 75th year of her age, Miss Eunice COOK.
    She was a native of Massachusetts and migrated to this county about fifty years ago, where she has since resided. For over forty years she has been a member of the Presbyterian church, and by her consistent Christian deportment was a bright and shining light. She was one of those intelligent, genial souls that made warm friends in any circle.
