Death
Menzo W. Rathbun of Springfield [Otsego Co. NY] aged about 28 years was killed by the accidental discharge of his gun while out fox hunting. We learn the following particulars from S. Basinger, Esq. coroner, who held an inquest on the 29th ult. Rathbun, together with four others, were engaged in fox hunting in the Northwest part of Springfield, and for their accommodation had taken a team to convey them from one place to another. After having taken one fox, they proposed to go to another place, and accordingly laid their guns in the sleigh, with the muzzles on the box. Rathbun stood out of the sleigh, one in the forepart, and another sat upon the edge of the box waiting the other two of the company. While thus situated from some unknown cause, Rathbun's gun went off and lodged its contents in his body. He exclaimed, "Oh, My God!" fell, and died instantly. Thus, has an estimable young man been cut off in the very prime of existence and a large number of relatives and friends deprived of the society of one who had rendered himself dear by his kind and generous disposition and nobleness of heart.

In this sudden bereavement (the deceased was scalded) the family of Mr. Crocker have been visited with an affliction which it would be in vain of attempt to portray. They have the warm sympathies of the community, and we trust that God will temper the blow to them and give them consolation from above.
