befallen Mrs. Lavinia JARVIS in attempting to escape from the Insane Asylum.
Yesterday afternoon her injuries proved fatal and Coroner MORRISON was notified. A
jury was impanelled, who after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict that
the deceased came to her death by concussion of the brain, caused by a fall
received in an attempt to let herself down from a second story window at Monroe
County Insane Asylum, on the night of August 29th, 1877. It was further

Mr. ZIMBRICK, in Market st. An alarm was given from box 52, and the firemen
put out the flames before they had extended far. Mrs. ZIMBRICK was working at a
sewing machine, on which the lamp stood when it exploded, and the oil

DEATH OF DR. L. R. HERRICK

This morning Dr. L. R. HERRICK, of New York, died in this city at the
residence of his son-in-law, J. Moreau SMITH, after an illness of several weeks.
His illness was contracted while on a visit to San Francisco where he was
prostrated for twenty-three days when, upon advise of his physicians, he came east
arriving here on the 13th ult. Since that time he has steadily continued to
decline, though at all times cheerful and hopeful until within a short time of
final dissolution. For some twelve hours preceeding death he was not
conscious until the last hour, when he seemed to recover somewhat and fully
realizing the near approach of his inevitable fate, he called his wife, children and
friends about him and bade them adieu. His malady was of a bronchial
character and terminated in congestion of the lungs.
Dr. HERRICK's fame was widely known throughout the country, as the
discoverer and introducer of several valuable remedies for the ills that flesh is
heir to. These, through liberal judicious advertising, were brought to the
notice of the public generally and came into extensive demand. He was very
prosperous in business, and having amassed, what he considered would be amply
sufficient to last him the remainder of his days, retired from active life
about ten years ago. He was born in Nassau, Rensselaer county in 1815. After
acquiring a good general education, he studied medicine with Dr. McCLENNAN of
Chatham. On graduating, he entered upon the practice of his profession in
Malden, Ulster county, where he remained about ten years. He then removed to
Albany, continuing to make that his home during (line unreadable) active business
life. After retiring he removed to New York which he has since called his
place of residence, though much of his time was spent in traveling. His wife
survives him, as well as three children, one son, Richard O. HERRICK, who resides
in California, and two daughters, Mrs. J. Moreau SMITH of this city and Mrs.
R. E. MORSE of Newark, Wayne County. All were present at the time of his
death. Deceased had been in the habit for many years of visiting his daughters
once a year and he had made two trips to California. He was a man of fine and
commanding figure and up to his last illness had generally enjoyed robust
health. He would have been singled out as one among a thousand in apparent vigor
and in the possession of all the essentials to probable longevity. The
Doctor was a man who was well-informed on all subjects, possessing a large fund of
general information, the result of extensive reading, close observation and
a habit of studious reflection. He was also a person of noble and generous
impulses. His loss will create a great void in the family in which he was so
deeply loved and revered. A notice of the funeral will be found elsewhere.
