DeRuyter, Madison Co. NY: A correspondent of the Syracuse Standard gives an account of an affair near Deruyter that resulted in the almost instantaneous death of a young lady. The circumstances were substantially these: A young lady named Sarah Lock was away from home at work. At the same place was a young man named Stephen Flint. On Friday, Sept. 14th, Flint had been out hunting and returned about dusk, his gun still loaded. During the evening, Flint went up to his room, taking his gun in one hand and a light in the other. The young lady went upstairs at the same time and as they came to the door of his room he requested her to open it, which she did, and he started to go into the room, when the gun was discharged, supposed to have been caused by the hammer striking the door casing, the ball entering the right side of Miss Lock's neck. She fell and expired in about two minutes. Flint was so horrified at the unfortunate affair that his nerves were entirely unstrung, and fears were entertained for his life. Report says they were engaged to be married. Miss Lock was buried on Monday. On that day before the funeral, Flint's nerves had become so far quieted that he desired to see the corpse and he was helped into the room for that purpose, but as soon as he saw her, he fell senseless on the floor and continued senseless while the informant remained. He does not eat or drink since the affair, and the physician says he cannot live a week unless a favorable change takes place soon.

An Otsego Man missing
The New York Sun of the 16th, contained the following in reference to a former resident of Laurens [Otsego Co. NY].
Fifteen years ago, Lewis M. Drew was made principal of the only public school then existing in Hoboken [Hudson Co. NJ]. For the past ten years he has been superintendent of all the public schools there. He is 60 years of age. He married just thirty years ago yesterday and has a wife and two grown up children. His home at 2352 Washington Street is pleasant, and he has not been pressed in money matters. On Wednesday morning last he requested his wife to make some toast and eggs at 6-1/2 o'clock, as he desired to see Trustee John Kennedy in relation to some school matters. After breakfast he hurried away. Mr. Kennedy says that Mr. Drew did not call to see him, but that at seven o'clock that morning, Edward Korf, a boy in one of the Superintendent classes in school No. 1, saw him in the Elysian Fields, at the foot of Tenth Street near the water. At eight o'clock he was seen by another boy near the water at the foot of Seventh Street. He was last seen by a boy named Ellis Van Netten at noon the same day. Mr. Drew was at that time at the foot of Twelfth Street and was looking off into the water. He taught in school No. 1 regularly until the day of his disappearance.
