    2. Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican May 25, 1848 SUDDEN DEATH - Saturday morning last, a man named Edward HENLEY, a lawyer, was found dead in a bar room in Arcadia, Wayne county. - He had for a few days previous been suffering with the delirium tremens, and had, on that morning about daylight, been discovered wandering near the middle lock in a deranged and destitute condition, from whence he was taken to the tavern, and there left alone - nobody in the house being up at the time. When the bar keeper arose a short time after, he found him sitting in a chair, where he had been left, dead. The deceased came to Arcadia from Wolcott, about six months ago; was about 43 years of age, and had a wife and child in Rochester. * GREAT FALL IN EGGS - A fall in eggs was distinctly visible in our streets yesterday. A farmer driving a one horse wagon, coming into town with some twenty or thirty dozen eggs in a basket, encountered a two horse wagon in Buffalo street, the driver of which was remarkably careless of the damage he committed. The wheels of the large wagon came in contact with those of the smaller one, and the consequence was, that the latter was overturned, eggs and all. And what made it still worse was the fact that the basket was over turned, and the farmer came down "like a thousand of bricks" upon the eggs! Such a smashing of yolks and whites was never before seen. * FEARFUL LEAP - The Republic says that a negro who was confined in the back room of the Police office in Buffalo, to answer a charge of petit larceny, leaped from the fourth story window on to the pavement below, and broke one of his legs in two places, and otherwise seriously injured himself. The only wonder is that he was not instantly killed. * ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE - Maj. Mark ANDREWS, a soldier of the Revolution, died in Perry on the morning of the 16th inst., in the 88th year of his age. He was born in Taunton, Mass, July 10, 1760, and entered the Massachusetts militia on the day he was 17 years of age. He served in Cambridge and on Dorchester Heights soon after the battle of Bunker Hill, and was also with the troops in Rhode Island, and in what is now the State of Maine, then a part of Massachusetts; and towards the close of the war, sailed on board a privateer that did efficient service to the American arms along the coast of New England. He afterwards resided successively in Turner, Monmouth, and Winthrop, Me., and in 1831 removed to Perry, where he has since lived. * LOVE AND LEAD - Two Cincinnati bloods, crossed the river at that city on Thursday week, and took a shot at each other with pistols, being moved thereto by the love they bore to some young lady. One of them was hit in the side, but is likely to recover. * MARRIAGES In Palmyra, on the morning of the 1?th inst., by Rev. Mr. GO?RINE, Oliver ALLEN, Esq., of Wheatland, to Miss Catharine H.
