About 2 o'clock Monday morning, Cyrus Dimmock, aged some 21 years, son of Francis E. Dimmock, Esq., of Smyrna, died suddenly under the following circumstances:  Near 7 o'clock the previous evening, feeling somewhat indisposed and being nervous and restless, he took a dose of Hydrate of Chloral and retired for the night. Between 11 and 12 his father went to his room and found his son unconscious in a deep stupor, and stertorous breathing, apparently in a dying condition.  Medical assistance was promptly called but to no purpose, and he died as above stated.  It may be a debatable question whether death was caused by an overdose of the remedy, administered by himself, or from apoplexy otherwise induced.  How much he took is wholly unknown.  An empty bottle, labeled with the drug, was standing upon the table near his bed.  He was not only an only son, but an only child, and is spoken of as possessing excellent talent, and many noble qualities of head and heart.  The mysterious and unlooked for dispensation falls with crushing weight upon his parents, in the decline of life, and with mournful sadness upon a large circle of sympathizing relations and friends.
