On Monday the 16th inst., Mr. Frederick Clarke, of Pittsford, Hillsdale Co., aged 47 years.
The deceased was one of the four brothers belonging to that noble band of pioneers or first settlers, to whose untiring industry and fortitude alone, belongs the credit of the vast super structure of our magnificent country and government. His funeral was attended by a large number of friends and relatives, whose sympathy with the bereaved family - appreciation of his memory, and unmistakable mourning for his loss, marked the good man gone. Though belonging to no particular sect, Mr. Clarke's character for disinterested benevolence and integrety, brought himn as near the standard of what the Bible declares "True and undefiled religion" as it is probably possible for mortals to attain. The following beautiful couplet from Pope, appropriately suggests a fitting epitaph:
"On modes of faith, let graceless zealots fight, He can't be wrong whose life is in the right."

(Reprinted from the Hudson Post)
POISONED - On Sunday morning last a child some three or four years old, the daughter of Mr. Levi Williams, of this village, obtained possession of a paper of dye-stuff for coloring magenta, and before she was observed had eaten a teaspoonful or more of the dye. Prompt medical treatment succeeded in ejecting the poison from the little on's stomach and thus saving her life. Too much caution cannot be exercised by those who use these dyes, in keeping them out of the reach of children, as they are all poisonous, the more brilliant colors specially being deadly poisons.

FATAL ACCIDENT-A terrible accident occurred in Coldwater township on Friday last. While George Huntington was chopping in Mr. Pender's woods, a limb fell about forty feet, striking him on the head, crushing it terribly. This occurred some time during the day - about noon it is supposed - and he was not discovered until 9 o'clock Saturday morning - having laid out in the fierce storm about twenty two hours. He was badly frozen, his feet especially being in a terrible condition. Notwithstanding his injuries he lived until Saturday evening. We believe his home is in Hillsdale. He has been in the army and was shot twice.-[Coldwater Sentinel]

Mr. Huntington was a resident of the township of Cambria, - this county - and during the war served in Company A 4th Michigan Infantry. He was a young man of exemplary habits, honest in dealings, upright in principle, and was beloved by all who knew him. He leaves a widow and many friends to mourn his loss.

BOILER EXPLOSION-SAW MILL IN RUINS
A most terrible calamity happened on Thursday last, at the steam saw mill, at what is called Steamburgh, three miles south of this city, and known as the "Pettis Mill." - About four o'clock p.m., the boiler exploded tearing the mill to [?], and strange as it may appear, none of the workmen were instantly killed. Mr. Robert Bryce, head sawyer says, when the explosion occurred he was rolling a log on the carriage, heard no noise,-but when he came to his senses, found himself on a pulley overhead about seven feet his head on one side of the pulley and his feet on the other, but was not hurt. Harvey Hines, fireman, was found six feet from the mouth of the arch, nearly covered with the ruins, insensible and seriously injured, and still remains in critical condition. Morgan Cummings, a sawyer, was thrown about twenty feet out of the mill, and found among the debris, quite severe, though not dangerously injured, on the forehead. Fragments of the mill and boiler were scattered in every direction. The mill contained Shingle and Lath machinery, and was valued at from $6,000 to $7,000, and owned by Hon. J.P. cook of this city, and Robert Bryce, who had charge of the mill.

Temperance Poem. - Will M. Carleton, of the senior class of Hillsdale College, delivered his popular poem, "Lost and Reclaimed," to a large and appreciative audience, assembled in the Methodist Church on Friday evening last under the auspices of the Good Templars of this city. We feel confident in saying that those who failed to hear him were deprived of the literary genius such as seldom fall upon our quiet town. In these times, when an audience is so frequently bored with long temperance lectures, emphatically dry and prosy, it furnishes great relief to hear the same principles included with the glowing measures of poetry. Mr. Carleton, with rhythmical genius, has interwoven doctrines of temperance with an attractive and peculiarly thrilling story, and, delivering it with his wonted ease and grace, he commands the feels of his audience to an extent which would do credit to men of riper years.
