Brutal Murder in Truxton, Cortland Co. NY
The DeRuyter New Era says that on Monday of last week a well-known citizen of Truxton, Levi Rowley, Jr. was shot while at work making fence on his farm. The ball entered his back, inflicting a fatal wound. The one who committed the deed was a nephew of Mr. Rowley's by the name of Eugene Briggs, about eighteen years of age. Mr. Rowley, after being shot, turned and saw young Briggs only about eight rods from him with a gun in his hand. He immediately fled and has not since been heard from, although the officers are in pursuit of him. Mr. R. Succeeded, after being shot, in walking to a neighbor's house, about a mile off, where he lingered a day or two and then died. It is not satisfactorily known why the lad committed the black hearted deed, although there are many surmises. The Cortland Democrat says that Mr. Rowley lived the life of a hermit and was known to be a miser. It is conjectured that Briggs committed the act thinking that he would come in for a share of the old man's money.

The Standard gives the particulars of a fatal accident in Cortland [Cortland Co. NY] on Sunday, June 23d, by which a young man named WS. Blaney was killed. He was driving to the camp meeting ground when he was met by two other vehicles furiously driven, one of which struck his horse, overturned him, and, as he fell out, broke his neck. The two reckless drivers were arrested and held for the case to be investigated.
The following notice of the death of Miss Almira B. Field, formerly of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], is from her pastor, Rev. A.H. Partridge, Rector of Christ church, Brooklyn.
It is with feelings of regret that I record the death of Miss Almira B Field, second daughter of the late George Field and Frances Amelia, his wife, formerly of this place. She died at Berlin, Prussia, on Friday, May 31st. The sad intelligence has cast an impenetrable gloom over the family and friends of the deceased, and will fill the hearts of a large circle with the most profound regret, that one so intelligent and accomplished, so amiable and lovely in all her walks of life, should be thus suddenly stricken by the hand of death in a foreign land, far from those she loved, and from those who would have gladly ministered to her wants, and smoothed her dying pillow. It is a great comfort to know that a beloved sister, younger than herself, watched beside her bed of death, and comforted and consoled her in her last moments. Having known her from a child, and in years gone by, taken her to Trinity Church Sunday School, New York, and having for years been her pastor in this city, I can confidently say, that I have seldom met her equal in intelligence, refinement and Christian piety. Amiable in her disposition, lovely in her manners, retiring and modest in her feelings, and graceful in her demeanor, she was an ornament to society, and honor to the Church of God, and a blessing to all around her. For two years last past, she has been traveling in Europe, seeking information, and from her accomplishments and thorough knowledge of the French, German and Italian languages, found her way into some of the highest circles on the Continent, where she was held in high estimation by those who knew her. Several articles from her pen on foreign travel appeared in the New York Evening Mail, which showed great research and observation, and were read with pleasure and profit by many friends. Could she have lived to return to her native country in health and spirits, the public would have been benefited by her experience and observation while abroad. But God has called her to himself and bade her go up higher and sit with the redeemed in His kingdom. Born of Christian parents, reared in the Episcopal Church, and trained up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, she early came to the Holy Communion of the body and blood of Christ, with a clear conception of what He expected from His children and from her consistent walk with God while in the land of the living, we may well say of her, since her departure hence in the fear and love of God "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." Her funeral will take place in Christ church, Bedford Avenue, on the arrival of her remains, which are on board the Ammonia.
News Item
Smyrna [Chenango Co. NY]: In your last issue you mistake with regard to the "horning" scrape which took place some two months ago in the south part of the town. The gentleman alluded to as being a resident of Sherburne, has been a resident of this town for a long time. The fair young lady he is reported to have "wooed and won," was a widow having three children. They were married early last spring and removed from the western part of the town to where they now reside. The boys out of curiosity, not jealousy, and a want of proper respect, assembled in large numbers before the house, with musical instruments of various kinds, patterns and devices, and used them "to the best of their knowledge and ability." The insulted bride protested - the indignant groom raged, but all to no avail, only till the light gray of the morning began to chase away the darkness, which night, with her sable mantle, have gathered around the domicile, did the tumultuous throng disperse. It is due the boys to say that the house was not entered, and we believe not defaced. A preliminary examination before justice Dimmick, week before last, resulted in the obtaining of supreme writs, which were served on a number of the boys by Sheriff Rorapaugh, assisted by Deputy Sheriff Hopson, of Sherburne.
