Death by Shooting: A son of Mr. Geo. Dart, living in the east part of this town [Sherburne, Chenango Co., NY], was accidentally shot on Tuesday of this week. This small boy, about seven years old, was out hunting squirrels in company with two larger persons, and happened to be in range when one of them was loading, and scarcely had the cap been placed when the gun went off, discharging its load of shot into the knee of this child (a distance of six or seven feet) tearing it quite to pieces, and opening such blood vessels as caused him to bleed to death in a little more than half an hour. The parents of this child left home only the day before (Monday) on a visit to friends in Michigan to whom telegraph communication has been addressed bearing the sad tidings as above related. Sherburne Home News.
Fatal Accident: The Telegraph & Chronicle records the following sad and fatal accident that occurred at the residence of Mr. Hascal Brown in Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY] on Friday, Sept. 14th. A young man by the name of Hine, who was employed as a hired man by Mr. B. had been our gunning in the afternoon. Upon his return in the evening he took up his gun and accoutrements with a view to retiring. Upon his request, Miss Sarah Locke, a young lady who was present, opened the door leading upstairs, when the gun which was loaded, went off, the entire charge taking effect in the young lady's neck, severing the jugular vein and causing her instant death. What makes the accident more distressing, if possible, is the fact that young Hine and Miss Locke were under an engagement to be married within a short time. It is unnecessary to say the sad occurrence is a great affliction to Mr. Hine. Both parties were well known and beloved by all acquaintances and the occurrence casts a gloom over the neighborhood.

From injuries received by the caving in of a sand bank in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], Mr. Cyrus Cobb, aged about 40 years.
Buried Alive: On Thursday morning of last week a man named Cyrus Cobb, about 40 years of age, in the employ of Smith Steere, Jr., of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], came to his death thro being buried alive. He was at work at Prentice's sand bank, near the Canasawacta creek, getting out sand from a hole, when the surrounding earth or sand caved in from above, on one side, covering him from sight. Mr. Richard Shoales who had been at work with him in the hole, had just stepped out, the wagon which they were loading being full, and speaking to Cobb, told him to come. But the latter, for some reason waited a moment, when the bank gave way, resulting in the catastrophe described above. Sholes took a shovel and hastened to remove the sand, which he did until he came to Cobb's head, enabling him to breathe, when he intended to run for help to remove the buried man from his dangerous position; but just at this instant another sand slide occurred, burying Cobb still deeper than before. Finding his solitary efforts to rescue the sufferer unavailing, Sholes now ran to Prentice's about fifty rods distant, for help. Mr. Prentice and several others were soon on the spot, and after about ten minutes' shoveling, Cobb was drawn out. He had been buried from fifteen to twenty minutes after the last slide of sand. His breath and pulse were both feeble, but it was thought he might recover. he was immediatley brought to the village, where he had every possible attention, but expired about the middle of the day. The pressure upon him, while buried must have been equal to many hundred pounds, and doubtless he was internally injured. Mr. Cobb was a soldier during the last war, and we are told was an industrious, hard-working man. He leaves a wife and two children.
