SUDDEN DEATH

About 12 o'clock last night the wife of William POWELL, jr., of 38 Bartlett
street, was awakened by the heavy breathing of her husband. She attempted to
arouse him, but could not. Alarmed at his condition, she despatched a
messenger for Dr. SEELEY. When the physician arrived, Mr. POWELL was dead. It
is thought that the death was caused by apoplexy. He retired about 10
o'clock, and was then in apparent good health. He passed from the sleep of
life to the sleep of death. Deceased was about twenty-eight years of age and
a saloon-keeper by occupation. He formerly worked as a shoe finisher. He
leaves a wife and two children.
Coroner Morrison was summoned and arrived at the house soon after his death.
This morning he will hold an inquest.

A SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE

The Ithaca Journal gives the particulars of a cruel and shameful outrage
occurring near that place:
Rufus WELSH, a well-to-do farmer living just over the Caroline line, went out
to the field to get his horses, when he found that they had been cut and most
shamefully abused by some malicious and inhuman brute. One of the animals had
a leg cut, the bone broken and a large chip cut out of the bone. It was
suffering terribly and as there was no hope of its ever being of service
again Mr. WELSH knocked it in the head. The other horse had a large gash in
its fore shoulder, but was doc- (didn't get the rest)
