DEATH FROM A FALL.-Robert Morisson (sic), an old gentleman who for a number of years had kept the store and post office in the town of Cooperstown, this county, was found dead on the floor of his store last Sunday morning. From what can be learned, it is supposed that on Saturday evening he fell down the stairs, receiving injuries which resulted in his instant death. This supposition arises from the fact that no light was observed in the building the evening before, and the position in which he was lying when found was such as to warrant the belief that he died without a struggle. The skull was fractured, and those who first discovered him say his neck was dislocated. Mr. Morrison is a brother of Hugh Morrison, our City Marshal and was over 70 years of age. He was born in St. Stevens, N.B., and came to this county twenty-one years ago, for the last seventeen years residing in Cooperstown. He was highly respected by all who knew him and his death will be sincerely regretted by many who found in him one of Nature's noblemen. His brother is the only relative he had in this vicinity, he never having married, and to him the sympathies of our readers are extended. The remains of the deceased were interred in Evergreen cemetery on Tuesday.
