              Jedediah Burbank, Esq., The death of Jedediah Burbank, Esq., of Bethel, announced
         in the journals of last week, was for some time expected. he had reached the good old
         age of 75 years, and although more vigorous than most men at that age he was not
         able to resist the attacks of complicated disease and yielded at last to the irresistible
         summons. Mr. Burbank had been one of the pillars of society in Bethel during half
         a century.  Born in Bradford, Massachusetts, he removed to Bethel in  early life, and
         marrying a daughter of Lieutenant Clark, one of the original settlers of the town, he
         located himself upon the spot which he occupied during the remainder of his life.
         He was forward in sustaining the institutions of  education and religion, was
         always interested in the civil affairs of the town, and active and judicious in
         promoting its welfare.  The large  assemblage, gathered at his funeral, bore testimony
         to the respect with which his memory is cherished by his friend and fellow citizens.
                  

            On Monday a man named Patrick Mitchell, stabbed his wife in the breast,
        inflicting a dangerous wound.  he was arrested after showing some fight, by
       Officer Beaumont and Gould.

          On Saturday, Mr. C. B. Welch of Parsonsfield, Me., while on his way to New
       York, to purchase a cargo of flour, was robbed between Springfield and
       Hartford, of a package containing  $14,000.
