Deaths
CRANSTON: Near Poolville [Madison Co. NY], June 21, very suddenly, James Cranston aged 77 years.
On Wednesday of last week, Mr. Cranston, residing in Poolville, died almost instantly. He had been a confirmed invalid for nearly forty years, but up to the very moment of his death had shown no symptoms of unusual illness. He had been indulging in a walk in the dooryard and then came into the house, threw himself down upon the bed and expired without a struggle. Poolville seems particularly unfortunate in losing her citizens thus suddenly. Within the past six months Mr. Risley, Mr. Williams and Mr. Cranston have been stricken down without a moment's warning of their fate.

The wife of Darius Beebe, of Hamilton, died on Tuesday of last week, by the refusal to take nay nourishment to sustain life. Mrs. B. had been out of health some time, suffering under an aberration of mind, to such an extent as to be considered unsafe to be left alone.
DEWEY: Chittenango Depot, Madison Co. NY: Charles Dewey got drowned on Saturday morning last, near Boliver [Allegany Co. NY]. there are so many rumors in relation to the matter that the particulars cannot be got with accuracy. The facts are that he was in a gig with a son of Isaac Bettinger, and was going from the canal landing to Boliver. They were at the time driving pretty fast and saw a sawlog on the towpath, but not in time to stop the horse. One of the wheels hit the end of the log, broke a tug, and the horse ran away, throwing Bettinger from the gig on the ground, hurting him quite seriously, upsetting the gig at the same time into the canal, with Dewey under it. He was found on Saturday morning by Rufus Jones. The above is all that we have been able to learn.
BAKER: The death of William H. Baker cast a gloom over the many readers of The Democratic Union in this place and vicinity and all sympathize deeply with his many relatives and friends in this their hour of grief.

News Items
The Fall of a Rope-Walker at Norwich
On the afternoon of the 26th ult. Professor Leone undertook to cross one of the principal streets of Norwich, N.Y. [Chenango Co.] on a rope, extended from the American House to the Rhinge Block. At about 4 o'clock a crowd assembled, the professor mounted the rope and had got nearly halfway across it, when the fastening to the end of the rope on the American House suddenly gave way, and down came man, balance pole and rope into the mud. The professor was taken to the hotel but shortly re-appeared and assured those gathered about that he was all right and would again make his appearance on the rope. But later it was ascertained that he had broken a rib. The distance fallen was between thirty-five and forty feet and his escape from instant death seems almost miraculous.
Murder in Cortland County
On Monday of last week a well-known citizen of Truxton [Cortland Co NY], Levi Rowley, Jr. was shot while at work making fence on his farm. The ball entered his back, inflicting probably 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, where he soon after died.
Democratic Union, Oneida, NY, July 11, 1872: Levi Rowley, who was shot last week, did not die, as reported in our last, but was, at last accounts, alive and likely to recover. Young Briggs, who shot him, has been caught and lodged in Cortland County jail.
