Death

A man named Conrad Valhyder supposed to be about 80 years of age, came to his death on the night of the 10th ult. by freezing. The deceased lived by himself in a small house in Hancock in this county [Delaware Co. NY] and had been for a long time addicted to intemperate habits. He had the afternoon previous to his death purchased a bottle of rum and returned to his residence as usual, where it is supposed he drank freely from his bottle, became intoxicated, and laid himself down before the fireplace, in which position he was found on the morning of the 11th, a frozen corpse.

Death
A boy by the name of William Howland, who lived in Delhi, Delaware Co. [NY] lost his life last week by the following imprudent act: Leading a young horse to water, which was so spirited as to be almost unmanageable, by one of his strength he tied the halter round his wrist to make sure his held. The horse took fright dragged him to the ground and so badly injured him that he lived but one day. Let this sad calamity be a warning to youngsters whose carelessness and ignorance of danger would not be healthy.
The last Oxford Times (having mislaid the paper, we are unable to copy the article itself) gives the particulars of the death of a young man, a resident of Smithville [Chenango Co. NY] named Consor, who was found dead in the woods on Sunday of last week. It seems that on the Friday previous, he started out on a hunting excursion and after following a fox until afternoon and having driven the animal into a hole, he called at a house and borrowed an axe, saying that he would return it in a short time. Not complying with his promise, and failing to return home, a search was made for him on the day on which he was found. When discovered he was dead, lying with his face to the earth. The cause that led to his death is left to conjecture alone. Appearances indicated that he had become lost, and fatigue and hunger may have proved fatal to the poor boy. His dog was by his side. It is said that he was buried without an inquest being held on the body.

One day last week, the house of a Mr. Perkins in the town of Pitcher [Chenango Co. NY] took fire and owing to a quantity of flax deposited in a room, the flames spread with such fearful rapidity, that all attempts to extinguish the fire proved futile. Mr. Perkins went round his house and opened a window for the purpose of rescuing a bed. He ran his head in, seized the clothes and there remained unmovable. He was seen by an individual a short distance off, who hastened to his relief & when he pulled him back, the flames completely enveloped his head and shoulders, shooting out some six feet. He was dreadfully burnt, insensible and his grasp upon the clothes spasmodic, bringing them away with him, although it required the utmost strength of his deliverer to drag him out of the fire. He lived three or four days and died seemingly unconscious of his situation. whether he was seized with a fit, or stultified by the atmosphere, has not been determined. Chenango Telegraph
