In Syracuse, on the 21st instant, Helen M., eldest daughter of John G. Forbes, esq., aged 18 years. She was beautiful in person, amiable in manners, and possessed of every quality that would render her interesting in the sight of the world. But she had one quality more deep, more lasting than personal charms. She had felt the power of religion and she cherished it, though in secret. A short time before her death she called her weeping friends around her, and urged them to prepare to meet her in heaven. Long after her own (illegible)body has mouldered to dust will those parting words be treasured in the hearts of her afflicted family. She was the idol of her parents, to whom she had ever been as a bright ray of sunshine during her life. (Syracuse Western Journal) UNDERHILL. Drowned at Poughkeepsie on Friday afternoon, the 25th of February, Henry C. Underhill, a pupil of the Poughkeepsie Collegiate School, from Pensacola, Florida, in the 14th year of his age. This interesting youth, in violation of one of the express rules of the institution, immediately after the close of the school on the afternoon of that day, repaired to a neighboring pond to skate, and the ice being poor and unsafe, he broke through, and before assistance could be rendered, the vital spark had fled. The body was recovered in about an hour, and every effort made to resuscitate it, but without effect. No blame is attached to the principal of the school or any of his associates.
