About 8 o'clock on Monday evening June 28th Thomas Ryan came to his death by drowning in Mead's Pond, about two miles north of Norwich [Chenango Co. NY]. It appears that he and Charles Hall and a son of Mr. Hall went out in a boat to take a ride on the pond. The boat leaked, but no danger was apprehended until they got about in the center of the pond when the boat was capsized, and they were all thrown into the water. Ryan struck out for the shore, disregarding the advice of his companions to hang to the boat and when about halfway between the boat and shore became exhausted and sank in the water - probably from the effects of cramp. His body was recovered about 12 o'clock the same night. Telegraph

The remains of Mianda Winton who left her home on the night of May 31st, was found June 29th, in the woods about twenty rods east of the Elm Grove bridge, near the Butternut creek [Otsego Co. NY] in a state of putrid decomposition. The body had probably been there some three weeks or more. No more secluded hiding place could have been selected. Coroner C.W. Fox held an inquest on the 30th. The verdict of the jury was that she came to her death by either of the three causes, hemorrhage, exhaustion or disease of the brain. There was not much evidence evinced, that would go to show that she committed suicide by an incision of the throat, or any other part of the body, and there was no evidence shown that could attach any blame to the friends of the deceased but on the contrary, that she had been treated kindly by them and others not connected with the family. Miss Winton had been a lunatic for the last four years, which accounts for this rash act of hers. Her great sim was to starve herself, rather than to commit suicide in any other way, which was probably the case. Her principle employment in her younger days was school teaching, which she performed with credit to herself and a great benefit to mankind.
When it was ascertained for a fact that Miss Winton had been found, there seemed to be a great load of anxiety lifted from this community. Almost our entire population have been on the lookout day and night for this unfortunate person.
