On Wed afternoon of this week, Mr. Hudson was about to hitch up his team to go into the field to gather up his plows and harrow, to put them in place for winter; the old gentleman was out at the barn, and asked Ira if he was willing he should stay about the barn. The son said "of course, father, but you had better go into the house out of the cold wind," and at this Ira drove off to the field. On the way he looked back and saw his father come out of one stable door and walk quite briskly to another door, which, at the time, he thought quite singular as the father was badly crippled with palsy, and some sixty eight years of age. Coming back in a few moments after with his tools, he unhitched his horses, and leading them to the stable door, first one and then both horses reared, snorted and jumped away. After some urging he got them up to the door, and upon opening it saw his father lying in the first stall right at the door, dead, with his throat cut across both jugular vein, and the trachea, entirely severed; in fact, the head cut half off, and his clothes as well as the stall, covered with blood. He got his horses into the stable and then went for help, explaining the circumstances to his neighbors who removed the body into the house and had it properly laid out. Afterwards the stable was cleaned and washed out, and on Thurs it was thought best by some friends to hold an inquest, which was done, and brought out the above facts from Ira Hudson's testimony. No other witnesses were sworn and the jury returned the following verdict. We, the jury, after a full examination of the body of the said William Hudson, and the premises where the act was committed, find the evidence adduced, are of the opinion that the deceased came to his death by cutting his throat with a razor, by his own hand, under a fit of temporary insanity. 12 Nov.

The case of suicide mentioned in this paper last week, from want of time, was not full as to detail of inquest. The fact was, there were several little things connected with the case that made a further inquiry necessary, for the benefit of all parties, as much so for the satisfaction of the jury themselves, as for the good of the friends of the deceased. Consequently, on Friday morning the jury again repaired to Mr. Hudson's house, and entered into a full examination of the premises, and also several witnesses who had not been examined the day previous. Upon this examination it was ascertained that the deceased had frequently, within the past year, said to his brother living in the town of Berlin, that he was of no use to any one, and did not want to live longer; that he was a burden to himself and his friends and would be much better out of the way. After the fullest examination possible, the jury coincided fully with the verdict of the day before, that Mr. Wm. Hudson came to his death by his own hand. 19 Nov.

Stewart: In this town, Dec 2d, Mr George Stewart, aged 74. The deceased has long been an honored member of this community, having resided here fourteen years; previous to which time he resided on a large farm near Plattsburg, NY, where he brought up a numerous family of children, of whom a son in Berlin and a daughter here, were all who were near enough to attend their father's funeral. He has been a professor of religion from his youth and was an officer in the Congregational Church of this place when he died. During his long last sickness, he was comforted and cheered with a Christian hope, and it is believe that he is now at rest in the presence of the Savior whom he loved. 10 Dec.

McConnell : In this village, Dec 5th, Edalie, infant daughter of Thos. and Hattie M McConnell. These afflicted parents went home from the services on Sabbath evening to spend a night of anxiety and sorrow, and see their little idol of eight months pass away among the angels. 10 Dec.

Kellogg: Susan E Kellogg, relict of the late Seba A Kellogg, departed this life in St. Marie, on the 25th day of Nov, 1870, aged 20 years, 4 months and 17 days. Mrs. Kellogg was the daughter of Charles W Bush, late of Princeton, but now a resident of Manterville, Dodge county, Minn,. She was married to her departed husband on the 20th day of Dec, 1868, and only survived him about eight months. She leaves an infant son to the care of friends, who will tenderly care for the orphan. Mrs. K was a faithful devoted member of the M E church in this place, and died in full hope of a blissful immortality. 17 Dec.

Frozen to Death: A German by the name of John Sieg, about three miles south of this village, in the neighborhood known as the Big Bend, was frozen to death on last Wed night. The circumstances were as follows: On Wed he came to town with a small amount of pork, sold it and just at night returned home, one of his neighbors riding home with him. Arriving at the house, he called for his wife and no one answering, he went into the house and found it deserted. He also found upon looking, that his money, about three hundred dollars, was gone too. He then went to a near neighbor, Mr August Glassman, and with his assistance, commenced to search for his wife. They finally came back to the house of Mr Seig after nightfall, where his neighbors gave up the search, but Mr Sieg felt that he must continue to look, and started again. Nothing more was heard of him, until about noon on Thurs, he was found about one half mile from his house lying in the snow, frozen. From appearances, he had been lost, or was crazed in some way, as his tracks revealed the fact, that he had been traveling in a circle, some six or seven times round, until he became exhausted. The missing wife had had two boys by a former husband, and one girl by this last one, and it is believed she has taken the youngest boy and the girl and gone to Minn, where the oldest boy is living. Report says that on Wed morning, they had some little difficulty, which was the reason of the wife leaving. Mr. Sieg was a healthy, robust man about 40 years old, and it seems quite probable that the loss of his money and his little girl, any have caused partial insanity, still, the weather was cold, the mercury marking ten degrees below zero on Thurs morning, and a northwest breeze blowing. As yet, nothing has bee heard of the missing wife and children. 24 Dec.
