Death of Gen. Amos P. Granger.--This eminent citizen died in Syracuse on Monday evening last, aged 77 years. Gen. Granger was born in Connecticut in 1789, and removed to this town in 1811, where he entered upon mercantile pursuits. In 1812 he raised a company for the war, and at its close continued in the militia service, in which he rose to the rank of General. In 1820 he removed to what was then Salina, and in 1825 was elected one of the first trustees of the village of Syracuse. He was an active member of the old Whig party, by which he was elected to Congress in 1853; but he left that part on the question of slavery, and became one of the founders of the present Republican party.
August 30, 1866:
Death of Dean Richmond. This eminent citizen died in New York city on Monday last, aged 62 years. He was born in Vermont, and came with his father to Salina, now the First Ward of Syracuse, in 1815. His early years were surrounded by poverty, and he was then employed on the batteaux that conveyed salt to the portage of Oswego Falls. He subsequently became extensively engaged in the manufacture of salt, but failed in 1841, and honestly assigned all his property. He commenced life anew the next year at Buffalo, and has since acquired a large fortune, through his great business enterprise and integrity.. At his death he was the head of the New York Central, the best conducted railroad in the United States. In politics, he was always an ardent Democrat, and he always gave liberally of his influence and means to that party. He was one of that distinguished class, whose loss will be deplored from his personal qualities rather than from the meretricious advantages of wealth. He was an example to young men, that in our republic wealth and fame may be secured by those of the humblest origin, through honest and well-directed industry. Syracuse was put in mourning on receipt of the news of his death. His funeral will take place at Batavia to-day.

Death of Dr. John O. Shipman. Our community was much shocked, on Sunday evening last, by rumors that Dr. J. O. Shipman, one of our old-time and most respected residents, had been taken ill that day, while attending church with his family, and in the evening was so very ill that he was not expected to recover. It was rumored, also, that he had been attacked by cholera, as a consequence of attendance on a patient attacked by that disease, in Syracuse, a day or two previous. But this latter consideration certainly did not affect the sympathy of our people for their old fellow citizen, nor was there, we are happy to say, that foolish alarm on such an announcement, which, more than the disease itself, tends to produce the evil dreaded, and leads too often to the neglect of the suffering patient. Dr. Byington attended Dr. S most faithfully, and administered to him every possibly remedy known to the profession in such cases; but he was beyond human aid, and gradually sinking, died on Monday morning, at about 8 oclock. From the moment Dr. S. knew of the nature of the attack, we understand that he considered his case hopeless, and as quietly as the disease might permit, resigned himself to death. His brother, Dr. A. B. Shipman, was near him in his last moments, and of course did all that human skill and science could do in his behalf.
Dr. Shipman undoubtedly died of cholera, but of its exact nature--whether of the malignant type termed Asiatic, or of a milder type which may be termed American--we shall not venture to decide; nor shall we attempt to decide, between doctors, whether cholera is really contagious. We only know that Dr. Shipman attended a patient in Syracuse, a stranger from New York, who died of cholera, only a few days previous. But Dr. S. had been unwell for about a week previous, from a disorder of the bowels, and this predisposition of his system to receive infection from a patient suffering under a malignant disease, of whatever nature, no doubt led to the absorption of development of the disease which caused his death. It is proper to say, that his brother, the eminent surgeon and physician, Dr. A. B. Shipman, does not regard cholera as really of a contagious nature, but attributes his brothers death so far as regards his attendance on a cholera patient, as mainly owing to a predisposition of his system at the time to receive the affection of which he died.
Dr. Shipman was about sixty years. old. He came from the town of Pitcher, in Chenango County, in 1831, to Manlius Centre, and practiced there three or four years. From thence he came to Fayetteville, where he practiced with great success for some years. While here, perhaps no physician ever enjoyed a greater degree of confidence and respect from his patients. In 1850 he disposed of his interest here to Dr. Darwin E. Hurd, and engaged in the construction of the Ogdensburg and Boston Railroad, and thence went to Virginia, where for a while he was engaged in the building of a plank road for a company with which he was connected. Since his return from the South, a few years since, he has been connected with his brother, Dr. A. B. Shipman, in Syracuse, in the medical profession, and it is needless for us to say that the accomplishments of the firm have won for it a reputation certainly not exceeded by any other in the State, in all that renders the profession honorable for its scientific attainments. Dr. Shipman, indeed, belonged to a family remarkable for its devotion to medical science. There are four brothers still living, all eminent in the profession. Dr. Shipman, the deceased, was a fine-looking, amiable man, who was greatly respected for his social qualities, and we are sure that his decease will be deeply regretted by not a few who relied upon him alone for medical advice, as well as by the community in general, who could not but regard him as a valuable citizen and estimable man.
The Onondaga Medical Society held a special meeting on hearing of his death, and passed appropriate resolutions. The funeral services were held at 2 oclock yesterday afternoon, and were attended by a numerous and intelligent audience. The discourse, by Rev. W. J. Erdman, was most touching and eloquent--a worthy tribute from the living scholar to the memory of another, whose lifes labor has been done.

Deaths reported by the correspondent [Phoenix -- Alexander F. Platto, Esq.] from Manlius Station:
Mrs. Burr, mother of our townsman, Benjamin F. Burr, and Mrs. Seneca Eddy [during the previous week] and Mr. John Wollaver, who died on the morning of the 23d inst. The funeral of Mrs. Burr was largely attended in the forenoon of Sunday, and the last sad rites of burial of Mr. Wollaver were had in the afternoon of the same day, and the last deserves more than a passing notice.
Mr. Wollaver was an employee on the N. Y. Central Railroad, and has driven a locomotive since the year 1856, being a member of the Brotherhood of locomotive engineers. For the purpose of attending the funeral, a special team left Utica in the morning at ten oclock, taking a large number of the Brotherhood. The train was drawn by locomotive No. 3, draped in deep mourning, and driven by Mr. Vincent Blackburn, foreman of the N. Y. Central machine shop. A number of the Brotherhood from Albany, Schenectady and Troy Divisions were among those who came from Utica, also many ladies, friends of the Utica members. Those from the east were accompanied by Mr. Peter Arthur, chief of that division. On arriving at our Station, those from the east waited for the western train, on the arrival of which, a large delegation from Rochester and Syracuse was received. Among them was Grand Chief Engineer Charles Wilson, of Rochester, and Amos Gould, Chief of the Rochester Division. A procession was formed and marched to the house of the deceased, and from thence to the church. The hearse and mourners were preceded by the Brotherhood, in the established order of the society, the Utica division, of which the deceased was a member, in the van, next the Grand Chief and assistants, followed by the other divisions in the order of their establishment. At the church, solemn and imposing services were had. The discourse by Rev. A. N. Damon, of the M. E. church, was most excellent both in matter and in manner, from the 7th verse of the 13th chapter of St. Johns Gospel, and was most attentively listened to by the men who, in their daily avocation, drive the fiery chariots with their precious human freight through Central New York. The closing ceremonies at the church were more than ordinarily impressive and feeling, and I saw many eyes unaccustomed to weeping filled with tears. The last farewell of the young widow of the deceased touched every heart in the congregation. How can I give you up, my precious husband? Then realizing that she could never again see the face of him who had been the choice of her youth, she exclaimed, Not my will, O God! but thine, be done. The aged father and mother, parting with their last child, their support in their declining years, an affectionate son suddenly taken from them, broke them down with a terrible grief that I never wish again to behold. The good old mother, not satisfied, must see the remains again ere they pass away to the house appointed for all the living. God help her to sustain this great affliction! We do not now know, but we shall hereafter know, why this dispensation of Providence. The procession again took its way for the quiet place of burial, and the ceremony of the organization of the Brotherhood, consisting of recital of appropriate passages of scripture from the manual of the society, remarks, singing and prayer. The day was cloudless and beautiful. Around the grave, the mourners and friends of deceased, beyond them the Brotherhood formed a circle, with emblems and the appropriate badge of mourning. The ceremony was performed by Mr. John D. Mosher, chief of the Utica division, assisted by Grand Chief Wilson, of Rochester. The departed brother and friend was then lowered to is long resting place, and the Brotherhood returned with the relatives and friends to the house now made lonely and desolate.
Thus has passed away a friend and neighbor in the meridian of his age, being almost 32 years. Mr. Wollaver was extensively known on the road, and his engine, No. 208, heavily draped in mourning emblems, brought the delegation from the west. The funeral of John Wollaver will long be remembered by the ninety engineers and thirty firemen of the N. Y. Central Railroad. I should not omit to mention that after the funeral the Brotherhood were hospitably entertained with refreshments from the table of Mr. Shoemaker and his kind lady, who are always alive to the wants and comforts of any who may need them. The thanks of each division were extended to Mr. S. and family by Chief Wilson, for their hospitality so timely tendered. [John Woolaver, as his name is spelled on his gravestone, died August 23, 1867, age 32-10-23 and is buried in Shoemaker Cemetery, Minoa. His stone is presently toppled.]

M. Gillett, west of the village.]
Obituary. [The following obituary was originally prepared for the I. O. of G. T., of which order the deceased was an honored member.]
Died.--In this village, August 15th, Mrs. Harriet C., wife of Mr. Nathaniel M. Gillett, aged 41 years.
This is the brief announcement in our village paper of the departure of this sister in Christ, and friendship would add an affectionate but feeble tribute to her memory.
Mrs. Gillett was born the 26th of September, 1826, in the town of Pompey, and in common with a large family, she shared the cares of a christian mother; her father (a man of strict morality, but not a professed christian until within a few years of his death,) being called from home a greater portion of his time.
Naturally quiet and unobtrusive in manner, her character was a rare combination of christian virtues; gentle but firm, she was a dutiful child, a good sister, a devoted wife, and a true friend.
At the age of nineteen she became a professed follower of our Lord Jesus Christ, and united with the Presbyterian church in Manlius village, of which she remained a member until her removal to this place, and it was at this time the writers acquaintance with her began. Coming among us almost as a stranger she placed herself on the Lords side by soon presenting her letter of dismission and recommendation to the church of the same name in this place.
From the first she showed a strong interest in our various plans fro doing good, and was ever ready to respond to the calls of benevolence. She was a constant attendant at our missionary society, and was a useful and reliable member, and there her loss will be greatly felt, and sincerely mourned. Also being one of the charter members of this Lodge, her vacant seat speaks to our hearts in more forcible language than any I can use. Ever present, ever punctual, her unflagging interest in our cause should be ever remembered, and prompt us to renewed efforts in the restoration of fallen humanity.
In her home, alas ! now desolate, Mrs. Gilletts fine traits of character shone most radiantly. For eighteen years of weeded happiness she was her husbands faithful counsellor, making every effort conserve to the comfort and well being of the home circle.
Her widowed mother looking to her as a stay for her declining years, finds her earthly staff broken; and is it strange she exclaims in bitterness of spirit, why was it not I instead of Harriet?
She is suddenly missed from her loved home, from the house of God, from the missionary circle, from this room where we had all learned to love her; yes, lost on earth, but found-in heaven.
In the early part of her last sickness she felt as if it was possible she might not recover, but her friends thought it not unto death. But slowly and surely disease was carrying her down to the dark river, and when weeping friends had lost all hope of her recovery, she tried to comfort them, saying, I may yet cry, she tried to comfort them, saying, I may yet get well for the sake of my family, but I am willing to go if it is Gods will. Gently at last she passed away, and the name of the chamber was Peace. for the window opened toward the sunrising : the Sun of Righteousness.
We realize how mysterious are the ways of Providence, when one so much needed, so willing hearted and one so well fitted for usefulness, is taken from among us.
The bereaved husband, motherless children, and other afflicted friends, have our heartfelt sympathies and may they be comforted by the assurance, Blessed are the death that die in the Lord. S. A. W.

Y. cavalry when it was organized, and proved himself a valiant and dauntless soldier. At the close of the war, he entered upon the staff of police in Memphis, since when he has rendered himself worthy of great reliance and confidence by those who were his superiors in that service. Mr. Jewett, we understand, has gone to Memphis to procure the body and look after his effects. Further particulars will be published of this sad affair.
