Chenango American, Greene, NY, April 1, 1858
Seriously Wounded: Lucien Sherwood, a young harness maker, formerly of this village, was shot on Wednesday night of last week, and seriously if not fatally wounded, at East Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]. He, in company with others, was engaged in "horning" a newly married couple, and as they were leaving the premises, a gun was fired from the direction of the house, the charge taking effect in his back. It is not known who fired the gun.
On Thursday afternoon last, about five o'clock, B.F. Browning and S.G. Pellet, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], returned from a gunning excursion. Mr. Browning, on arriving at his residence, attempted to draw his gun, a double barreled fowling piece, one barrel of which was loaded, from the hind end of his wagon, when, owing doubtless to the lock being caught upon some obstacle, the gun was discharged, and the whole charge entered his right side. He was believed to be mortally wounded, and it was currently reported that his physicians had expressed the opinion that he could not survive the night. The occurrence threw a feeling of gloom over the whole village, Mr. Browning being universally respected as one of our most worthy citizens. His recovery, however, is now believed to be possible. This occurrence cannot impress too strongly upon those who are in the habit of using firearms, the exercise of the utmost caution. such accidents are perpetually occurring throughout the country, nearly all of them resulting form the carelessness which familiarity with the use of firearms is apt to produce. One circumstance connected with this accident has been commented on, as affording a somewhat curious coincidence. It was the same gun which was lost in the river, at the time of the accident to Mr. Browning and Mr. Pellet, about two years since, when they came so near being drowned; and it was also this same gun which inflicted a dangerous and almost fatal wound a few years since upon H. Pellet. Chenango Union

Death of E.D. Squires, of Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: We are pained to record the death of Elmore D. Squires, of Norwich. He died on Saturday last, after an illness of two weeks of Typhoid Fever. He was buried on Sunday, with Masonic honors. The funeral was attended by a vast concourse of people, the masonic fraternity of Norwich, with delegations of Masons from Oxford and Greene, appearing in regalia, and the "Deluge" Fire Co. of Norwich, of which for several years he was Foreman, together with members of "Ocean" Fire Co. of Greene, appearing in full uniform, forming an imposing procession. Few men have possessed in such a remarkable degree as did the deceased, the confidence and respect of the public. Endowed with all the qualities of heart and soul that combine to make a man beloved, he held an enviable position among his fellow citizens, and his loss is a severe blow to his numerous friends. Of an athletic frame, full of health and vigor, and in the prime of his manhood, he has fallen a victim to the keen scythe of the destroyer. His memory is however embalmed in the hearts of all who knew him, and while we humbly bow to this stroke of Divine Providence, we deeply mourn that one so noble should have been chosen in the height of his usefulness.

Burned to Death: A Miss Sexton, says the Chenango Union, residing near Earlville [Madison Co., NY], was so badly burned on Sunday afternoon last, while engaged in cooking, that she died in a few minutes.
The Brain Fever in Plymouth [Chenango Co., NY]: We learn, says the Chenango union, that a small child of Sylvanus Aldrich died in Plymouth last Saturday from this epidemic; and that four persons in the family of Elisha Crandall, near Hall's Pond are sick with it--Mr Crandell, his wife and two children. Mr Aldrich has now lost three children with this disease, in about two weeks.
Accident with Fire Arms: We learn, says the Chenango Union, that on Tuesday last, Luman Aldrich was shot by a man named Hoffman, in Plymouth [Chenango Co., NY], by a very singular mistake. Aldrich, as we have heard the statement, was engaged in setting traps in the woods, and wore a light colored felt hat. Hoffman was hunting for partridges, and seeing the top of Aldrich's hat as he was rising from his work, supposed it to be a partridge, and suddenly fired. The shot struck Aldrich in the face and head; and it was supposed for a time that his wounds were fatal. We belie, however, that his recovery is now considered probable.
