Yesterday, the funeral of a young man occurred, whose death and the cause of it have cast a deep gloom over our city [Springfield, Otsego Co. NY]. Young Reed was employed as a clerk in an apothecary shop and a short time since, was terribly burned by a camphene or fluid explosion which took place while he was drawing it from the cask. He has been very low but was expected to recover until within a few hours of his death. How many more victims must be sacrificed to this Meloche of carelessness before the plague is stayed? Reed was beloved by all who knew him, and in his death, we have lost one who gave promise of becoming a good and substantial citizen. Springfield Rep.
