    3. Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee County, New York State October 6-1863 The 'Times' claims that Hon. Martin GROVER, of Allegany, has gone over to the enemies of this Administration. Its authority is the Genesee Valley (Allegany) 'Free Press.' The truth is, the Republicans of Allegany are divided into two very bitter cliques--the one headed by Judge GROVER and the other by Senator ANGEL--and the newspaper supporters of each are bitter and malevolent toward their respective opponents. We guess Judge GROVER is all right; at any rate, we shall need other evidence than any we have yet seen, before we can think otherwise. ++ ERRATUM.--In giving the result of the balloting last week, at our County Convention, we gave Lemuel F. LINCOLN, candidate for County Superintendent, twelve, when he should have had thirty-two votes. It was merely a typographical error, and escaped our notice when revising the proof. ++ Dr. Peter P. MURPHY, Examining Surgeon for this District, has been arrested on a charge of improper conduct while acting in his official capacity. He was held to bail in $2,000 for his appearance for examination October 7th. ++ SUDDEN DEATH.--Coroner RANDALL was called yesterday to hold an inquest on the body of an old gentleman, aged 60 years, named Henry FISK, who died suddenly at the residence of his father, Mr. S. FISK, corner of Main and Utica streets, about eight o'clock yesterday morning. He arrived in the city, from Michigan, by the early train, and started to walk out to his father's house. Before he reached Main street he was taken suddenly ill and fell, striking his head against the pavement, severely cutting his forehead. How long he remained insensible, he did not know. He finally recovered so far that he was enabled to reach a street car. Upon arriving at his father's house he felt much better, but shortly after eating his breakfast complained of being ill, and in a few moments slid from his chair to the floor, and died within fifteen minutes. Dr. KING made an examination of the body, and found the usual evidences of death from appoplexy. Deceased was a farmer and resident at Stafford, Genesee county. He leaves a wife and four children. -'Buffalo Express, of Sept. 23d.' ++ A young lady in Springfield broke her neck in trying to escape being kissed. Let this serve as a warning to all pretty young ladies. ++ submitted by Linda C. Schmidt
