DROWNED IN CONESUS LAKE
Michael McLaughlin Tipped Out While Trolling - Body Recovered
Livonia, Sept. 30 — Wednesday evening Benjamin ODELL and Michael McLAUGHLIN
took a small boat and went trolling for pickerel on the west side of Conesus
lake, about a mile above Long Point. ODELL was rowing and McLAUGHLIN was
holding the line, when the boat took a tip and upset in a way that ODELL says
he cannot account for, and McLAUGHLIN suddenly disappeared. ODELL, who is a
good swimmer, stayed for some time in the water hoping to help McLAUGHLIN,
but the night was dark and he saw nothing of him after he first left the
boat. The neighbors immediately rallied and looked for the body all night,
but it was not found until noon to-day. The grappling irons brought it up in
water forty feet deep, near the shore. The west banks of Conesus lake are
very uncertain and uneven and have caused the death of a good many persons
within the memory of the old inhabitants. McLAUGHLIN has been married but
about a year and leaves a wife and a child.

dancing. The couple who were celebrating the twenty-five anniversary of their

place. He has formed a copartnership with Dr. ORCUTT, of Hornellsville, where
he will move soon.

the finest location in town. From his observatory can be seen Rochester and

West Henrietta Friday. About forty visitors were present. The scholars gave
some rhetorical (unreadable) Miss Helen McWALL received a prize for
scholarship and deportment.
A novel way of amputating a finger was illustrated in Honeoye Falls Wednesday
afternoon, in this wise: John McCARTHY, a little boy of nine years, while
hitching his horse, in some manner got his finger entangled in the hitching
strap and post ring, when the horse suddenly jerked his head upward, severing
completely the second finger of the left hand at the first joint. Dr. BENNETT
was on hand and dressed the member, which the little fellow bravely stood.
Harry ALLEN and Charles OTIS bade goodbye to their friends at Honeoye Falls

The late Dr. DAGGETT, who, for over twenty years, was the beloved pastor of
the Congregational church in Canandaigua was the author of the beautiful poem
in October Scribner's, entitled, "There is a Natural Body." The occurrence of
the author's death, immediately after the transmission of the piece to the
press and before its issue to the public, gives a peculiarly striking
significance to its sentiment of assurance that death does not end all.
Three young ruffians, aged from fifteen to eighteen years, all wearing masks,
entered by a window the residence of Mrs. DOUGLASS, on Jackson street,
Geneva, last Saturday night. They went to her room, tried to overpower her
and take the rings from her fingers, but she made a desperate struggle and
succeeded in frightening them away. In the struggle one of the masks became
disarranged and she thought she recognized the face behind it. On Tuesday she
swore out a warrant for young boy named DUNN, who was tried and convicted and
sent to the M. C. P. at Rochester. When behind the bars he will have more
time to reflect on the life which he has begun.
