DIED:
In this city, on the 3d inst., of pulmonary consumption, Mrs. SOPHIA H.,
wife of GEO. W. BEARDSLEE, aged 23 years.
Adorned from her childhood with many virtues to which in riper years
were superadded the christian graces and hopes, her death was eminently
peaceful and happy. She did indeed, recoil at the prospect of so early
a dissolution of the tender ties binding her life, upon first learning a
few months since, the fatal character of her disease; but after a little
time for reflection and prayer, her feelings subsided into a calm
acquiescence in the will of God, and she was soon to die, seemed in no
degree to diminish her interest in whatever could contribute to the
personal comfort to all its inmates, as well as those who from time to
time partook of their friendship and hospitality. Hers was not a
resignation of moroseness, but of cheerful reliance on those doctrines
which enable us to regard death as the passport to a better world. The
memory of the just is blessed.
Her funeral will be attended this afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the First
Baptist Church, on Fitzhugh street, of which she was a member. A sermon
may be expected from the pastor. The public generally are invited to
attend.
In this city, on the 31st ult., Mrs. CATHERINE M., wife of WILLIAM

In Canandaigua, on the 15th ult., after a short and painful illness,
Mrs. REBECCA S., wife of WILLIAM W. SUTHERLAND, in the 49th year of her
age. Mrs. S. was the grand-daughter of Deacon JOB SPENCER, of
Salisbury, Conn.
At Oriskany, Oneida county, on the 21st of December, LEMUEL C. MOTT,
aged 39 years.
In Barre, on the 22d ult., after an illness of seven days, Mrs. MARY S.
TANNER, wife of SAMUEL TANNER, in the 44th year of her age.
Of quick consumption, in Mount Morris, on the 16th ult., Miss HARRIET
NEWELL, daughter of CHAUNCEY WOODFORD, aged 20 years.
DISTRESSING OCCURENCE----On Tuesday evening of last week, Mr. HUGH
WATSON, extensively known as the founder of the brewing establishment of
H. WATSON & SONS, of this village, closed his life under circumstances
peculiarly distressing. It seems that from the time of following his
estimable wife to the grave about a year since to the day of his own
death, his mind was constantly failing--he became more and more
gloomy--at times lost all desire for life, and although in his better
moments he strove to overcome every thing of the kind, yet it was easy
for those around him to percieve the change that was going on in his
intellect. On the morning of the day alluded to, in company with one of
his sons, and as much to divert his mind by change of scene as anything
else, Mr. W. started for Oswego. They stopped in Hannibal for supper.
Missing from the table in a way that created no suspicion, he stepped
out of the door--and not returning as was anticipated, a search was
commenced, which resulted in finding his lifeless body in a well, into
which he had without doubt let himself down. A coroner's inquest was
held; after which his remains were conveyed to this place; and attended
to the grave on Friday. Mr. W. was 63 years old, has for many years
been engaged in extensive business operations--was remarkable for his
prompt and business-like deportment--and his painful exit has cast a
gloom over the circle of his numerous friends and acquaintances, which
time alone can efface.------Auburn Journal

Reported for the Democrat; Rochester Police
Justice WARNER Presiding; January 12, 1841
Stephen BEADLE was brought from jail and tried by special session for
riot and disorderly conduct, and throwing stones at a house on Jackson street.
Discharged.
Jeremiah CLIFFORD was arraigned on a charge of stealing 2 old sleighs. It
appears that the 2 sleighs have been standing for the last yr. or 2 in an open
lot on Exchange street, and missed by the owner of them about a fortnight since.
From some information he received as to the whereabouts of the sleighs, he was
induced to visit the premises of J. C., where he found the 2 old sleighs
metamorphorsed into one good new one. The owner took his property and Mr.
CLIFFORD in the bargain. He was held to answer at the next Court of General
Sessions.
Henry LEONIX was arraigned for being concerned in the outrage
committed on John PETTINGAL some weeks since. Gave bail and was
discharged.
Richard BARHYALL stood up to answer to a complaint made by his wife, for
striking her. Richard is generally a pretty good sort of a fellow and provides
well for his family, but whiskey always steps in and kicks up a terrible hubbub.
Whiskey has been Richard's ruin. The charge was proved and Richard gave bail.
John McGUCKIN, another of those who assaulted PETTINGALL, came in with his
bail and gave himself up.
