Sudden Death - On last Saturday morning,
Mr. SIMON FLERSHEIRU was found dead in his store, a room rented of J. Neiswanger opposite the Court House. Mr. F. had been called to breakfast several
times, but as no answers were returned, the store was opened about 8 o’clock,
and he was found on the counter, in his bed, and lifeless. He appeared, apparently asleep, no feature
was changed, no muscle distorted. But he
slept the sleep of death!
The deceased was about 30 years old, of a
clever turn of mind and obliging disposition.
He has been a resident here for more than a year, but for some years
past sold goods in this and adjoining counties.

best members. He resigned all with Christian fortitude and a steadfast hope of

Horrid
Murder - On Friday evening last, the 12th inst., at Steinersville, in this county, Robert McGary
entered the house of WASHINGTON MC CAFFREY, and in the presence of his
daughters stabbed Mc C in 13 or 14 places on the face, head, neck and chest, of
which he died immediately. The wife of
the deceased arrived as he was expiring.
It appears that the deceased had his house
assailed and some damage done by McGary and one Fowns, who were imprisoned some time age, and they
threatened to murder McCaffrey. Fowns was an accessory when the murder was committed, and
is now in jail. McGary
is still at large, and will no doubt be arrested soon. We forbear further
particulars at present.

Reed, David Reed
Spirit of Democracy,
It would be difficult for a poet of the highest imagination
to conceive a more horrid death than happened a few days ago, in
“On Friday last, Capt. David Reed, one of the most
respectable citizens of Swanzey went into the woods
with his oxen, for the purpose of drawing logs. Although he did not return at
night, no alarm of his family induced a sufficient anxiety to cause him to be
sought after until next morning, when, horrid to relate, he was found with a
large log lying across his leg, and frozen to death. It appears, from
examination made, that he had hitched his cattle to a log which on starting,
had rolled and caught him by the leg and broken it. Unable to extricate
himself, he had shouted for help. His cry was heard by neighbors repeatedly,
who supposed it only the ordinary shout to cattle while logging, and paid no
attention to it.
He has left a wife and seven children—a sad
loss to them and to the neighborhood, of a father and a valuable citizen.”
