Death by Drowning: On Friday afternoon last, about 7 1-2 o'clock, a bright intelligent little boy, five years of age, the only child of Charles W. Dain, of Norwich [Chenango Co., nY], fell into the Canal, near his residence, and was drowned. His body remained in the water half an hour or more, before it was rescued. All efforts were made for his resuscitation, but in vain.
Death by Drowning - Strange Affair: O Tuesday last, about 5 o'clock, P.M., while some boys were bathing in the canal, opposite P. McQuone's hotel, in this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], one of them stepped upon a body, which upon being taken out, proved to be that of a child about five years of age, which came to the hotel that day, on the Packet from the south, in company with a woman. The child had been missed for a few minutes, and the woman was making search for it at the time it was found. All efforts to resuscitate the boy were fruitless. The strange appearance and representations of the woman, induced our citizens to call a Coroner's inquest and Jas. H. Curtis, Esq., of McDonough, was sent for. As no one is known to have seen how the boy came into the water, the supposition is that its death was accidental, but the evidence of the woman before the coroner's Jury was of such a vague and contradictory nature that the affair is rendered quite mysterious. She evidently wished to conceal from the jury who she was, and where she came from; giving three or four names as her own, and constantly crossing herself as to where she came from and what her business was. She mainly adhered, however, to the statement that she was a widow by the name of Donohue, and that the child was her deceased sister's, and was named Stephen Sheldon Story; that she came from Peru, Canada, and was in search of a half-brother named Wm. Story, who she said lived in this town. None of this is, however, relied upon. as she was identified by various witnesses as a Mrs. Sarah Ball, formerly from Binghamton, the widow of Mr. Ball, who was killed there some five or six years ago, by horses running away with him. Deputy Sheriff Cowles has gone to Binghamton in search of evidence to show whether or not the child was abducted, and to find if possible, if there could be any motive for this woman's destroying it. She is of Irish descent, of tolerably large frame, with strongly marked features, slightly pock marked. She is apparently destitute of means. The boy was of fair complexion, brown hair, had a ring worm on the right cheek, a mole just above the stomach, pock marks on his left arm and left leg. The Coroner's inquest stands adjourned till today at 1 P.M. to await the return of officer Cowles.

The Drowning Case - The Verdict of the Coroner's Jury: We gave an account in our last week's issue of a case of a child being drowned in this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY] and of the peculiar circumstances connected therewith. An investigation into the previous history of the woman who brought the child here, proves her to be a vagrant, wandering woman; that she formerly lived in Binghamton, as Mrs. Sarah Ball, that she has since married a Donohue, and ran away from him. As near as could be learned, the child was in illegitimate offspring of her sister, and that she had taken charge of it from its infancy. There being no evidence of any motive for the death of the child, nor of the manner of its getting into the water, the Coroner's jury rendered a verdict of "Death by accidental drowning."

Death of Hiram H. Haynes: We are called upon to record the sudden decease today (Tuesday) of one of our most respected citizens, Hiram H. Haynes, of congestion of the lungs. It seems from the accounts we have heard, that about 12 o'clock, noon, today, Mr. Haynes called at the office of Dr. Billings, complaining of a sudden, oppressive sensation in the lungs, and was advised to go to his residence at once. Just as he was entering his house, he fell, and died immediately. Mr. Haynes was about 55 years of age, and had resided in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] for many years, having acquired an estimable reputation among his fellow citizens. His loss, while it will fall heavily on the community, must press with crushing weight upon his family. Chenango Union.
