         Accident at New Baltimore
         
         We learn from a gentleman from New Baltimore this
       week that a man named WILLIAM DESHA, a Frenchman, met
       with a fatal accident at that place on Monday, the
       5th inst., by means of a tree falling upon him. He
       had been choping upon a tree until it began to fall,
       when he ran, but mistaking the direction which it was
       falling he ran under it, and it killed him almost in-
       stantly. The accident took place on the farm of C. P.
       HOOKER, Esq., about a quarter of a mile from Hatey-
       way's steam mill.
        - Romeo Argus.
        
       [Transcriber's Note: According to the 1860 Census
        Mortality Schedule for Macomb Co., MI., the accident
        occurred on August 31, 1859. This is one of the very
        few times that the census enumerator wrote the date
        of death rather than just the month.]
