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 SEELEY, Jr. aged 28 years. In York, Dec. 16th, Capt. THOMAS BLAKE, aged 67 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 anticipatedd, 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 Submitted by..Sharon Palm
