Death

On the 25th ultimo, Christiana Gaulker aged 20 years, a native of Germany.  The distressing condition and suffering of this young woman and the awful result ought to be a solemn warning to all match makers and match breakers.  She was engaged to be married to a young man of Philadelphia, who for reasons best known to himself, communicated to her, a short time since, his intention of abandoning her.  On the receipt of this information, she became the child of sorrow and despair for ten days, when reason left its seat and she became an awfully distressed maniac, unceasingly calling on her lover "to come to her."  On the evening preceding her death, she ordered her "wedding garment" to be prepared, that she wished to be dressed in white and that she "was to be married at three o'clock." the precise hour of her departure to a world of spirits.  Balt. paper

Deaths

Distressing Accident:  On Saturday last, two men were drowned in the Delaware river in the town of Walton [Delaware Co. NY].  Some six or eight men towards evening repaired to the river for the purpose of bathing when Ansel Treuby being unable to swim, accidently waded into a hole beyond his depth.  He gave the alarm and several attempted to rescue him, but whenever they approached him, he seized them with such violence as to endanger their lives.  Joseph Newbury who was sitting upon the bank with his clothes on, fearing that Treuby would drown, plunged in to his relief and never rose again.  It is supposed that Treuby in his struggles must have come in contact with Capt. N. with so much violence as to stun and drown him instantly.  The bodies were in the water rising of twenty minutes.  Every attempt at resuscitation totally failed.  Treuby was a blacksmith by trade, about 25 years of age and a man of vigorous and athletic appearance.  It is not known from what part of the county he came, but it is supposed he last worked at Smithfield, Madison County.  Capt. Newbury by this humane attempt to save the life of a fellow being, has been cut off in the vigor of manhood, leaving a wife and eight small children, to deplore his untimely fate.
