Deaths

SYMONDS:  In South Oxford [Chenango Co., NY] on the 5th inst., Mr. Martin L. [Symonds], son of George and Sarah A. Symonds, aged 21 years, eight months.  The diseased has been a long sufferer from general debility, which finally terminated in disease of the brain.  The report that the diseased died of Hydrophobia is erroneous and without foundation and deserves correction.  

Killed by Horses:  Henry Woodward, late of Triangle, in Broome County [NY]was kicked to death by a span of horses which he was driving on the 14th inst. in the village of Owego [Tioga Co., NY].  The animals taking fright, and the end board against which his feet were braced giving away, he was precipitated on their heels, where he received such injuries as to cause a most instantaneous death.  It is a remarkable coincidence that two other brothers in the same family have been killed under similar circumstances.
