IDENTIFIED
 
The Body Found at Brighton Proves to be that of David Burroughs, of Hamlin -
The Inquest and the Revelations Thereof -
Deceased Leaves a Wife and Seven Children.
 
Yesterday morning an account was given in these columns regarding the finding of a dead man on the track at Brighton. The supposition that it was the body of David BURROUGHS, of Hamlin, has proved true. It was fully identified by A. P. CLARK, a resident of Hamlin and a man who was well acquainted with the deceased, and who saw him in this city Thursday. The testimony taken by Coroner HARDER at the inquest shows fully and satisfactorily how he was killed. George BINGHAM and George M. CROSIER, the engineer and fireman of the train which struck him, testified that they saw him about half past 4, walking between the tracks ahead of them. The bell was rung, but as soon as the engine came up with him he stepped in front, with results already detailed. After the inquest the body was taken to Hamlin on the 1:15 train. In view of the fact that BURROUGHS had a wife and seven children, his death will be a great blow to them.

POISONED BY EATING SAUSAGE
 
The Buffalo Commercial of yesterday has the following in regard to a case of poisoning from eating sausage: "Last evening the family of John G. KLEIN, deputy poormaster, residing on Michigan street, bought a quantity of "liver-sausage" at a butcher shop near by and partook of it for supper. Soon afterwards, the members of the family who had eaten the sausage were taken violently sick, and Dr. DIEHL was summoned. The mother of Mr. KLEIN, however, an old lady, continued to grow worse and died during the night. Two others were in a critical condition at last accounts, but it is thought their lives can be saved. There seems to be no question but that they were poisoned by eating the sausage. Portions of it will be sent to Professor HADLEY for analysis, and a corner's inquest will be held.

LIVINGSTON COUNTY ABLAZE
 
Correspondence of the Democrat and Chronicle
     Mt. Morris, Oct. 27 - Not since the campaign of 1860 have the Republicans of Livingston county been so earnest and enthusiastic as at present. General George A. SHERIDAN, of Louisiana, addressed the people of this county at Mt. Morris Thursday. Main street was gaily dressed in bunting and the village had the appearance of a holiday. At 1:30 p.m. about 120 young men from Groveland and Leicester came on horseback, making a fine appearance. The Mt. Morris band met them and escorted them through the principal streets. Besides this cavalcade large numbers crowded the village from the surrounding towns, about fifty coming from Dansville. A platform on the corner of Main and Chapel streets was the place of speaking.
     The following were the officers of the meeting: 
President -- F.F. DOW, of York.
Vice-presidents -- John S. BURLEIGH, Avon; George W. HATCH, Caledonia; Jotham CLARK, jr., Conesus; Dr. JACKSON, Dansville; Dr. D. H. FITZHUGH, Groveland; S. P. ALLEN, Geneseo; A. J. BACKUS, Livonia; E. A. NASH, Lima; David UTTEY, Leicester; Hon. O. D. LAKE, Mt. Morris; Dr. J. V. D. COON, Nunda; Hon. Isaac HAMPTON, Ossian; John M. GRIFFITH, Portage; Peter SWICK, Sparta; George W. WHITEHEAD, Springwater; George GOHOE, West Sparta.
     Secretaries -- A. O. BUNNELL, C. K. SANDERS, E. H. DAVIS, F. E. BROWN.
     General SHERIDAN spoke about an hour and a half. It was a telling, humorous and truthful address.
     The Geneseo glee club furnished some capital songs.
     In the evening a torchlight procession, headed by the band, marched through the principal streets and a large meeting gathered at Livingston hall and was ably addressed by Colonel STRONG, of Geneseo, and W. A. SUTHERLAND, of Mt. Morris. Livingston county is wide awake and will do her part in giving the empire state to HAYES and WHEELER, MORGAN and ROGERS.          Yours truly,
                       Robert MORRIS.

PROBABLE SUICIDE
 
At a late hour this morning it was discovered that Mrs. DOLAN, who lives on Union street, near the railroad, had attempted suicide by taking an over dose of poison; Drs. WHITBECK and DAVISON were immediately called and applied every restorative but without seeming effect. At last accounts she was no better and no hopes were entertained either by physicians or friends of her recovery.

PERSONAL
 
--Fred L. HUGHES, connected with the Cheney iron works for the past five years, goes to San Francisco in a few days there to remain for the winter, perhaps permanently. Mr. HUGHES has made contracts, and supervised the construction of store fronts for many of the finest structures in town, the accuracy and finish of which attest his skill.

THE REV. WILLIAM WOHLGEMUTH
 
The Rev. William WOHLGEMUTH, whose death was announced on Friday, was born at Little Falls about forty-six years ago. At the age of twenty he entered the military of the Methodist-episcopal church, joining the Genesee conference. Among the charges which he has served are Bath, Victor, Avon and Knowlesville. The new and comely church structure at Victor is a monument of his architectural, constructive and financial skill. He was an excellent pastor, was a plain, practical speaker, and in his life wrought a good work wherever he labored. He was taken ill about a year ago, and under the encroachments of bronchial consumption his vitality was absorbed, and on Thursday he died. He leaves a wife, nee, Miss Sarah WILLIS, of this city, but no children. The funeral occurs this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, from the First M. E. church.

OBITUARY
 
Mrs. Sarah FASSETT, one of the earliest settlers and one of the oldest citizens of Monroe county, N. Y., now remaining, died on the 20th day of October, 1876, at the residence of her son, George W. PARMENTER, in Penfield, N. Y., at the great age of ninety-one years, seven months and six days. Her maiden name was Sarah DAVIS, and she was born in the town of Rutland in the state of Massachusetts, on the 14th day of March 1785. In 1815, she with her first husband, Edmond PARMENTER, emigrated to this state, and settled in Penfield on the farm adjoining the place of her decease. Her husband Edmond PARMENTER, was the father of all her children, who departed this life on the 13th day of July, 1826. Afterward she became the consort of Jonathan FASSETT, who was one of the early elders of the Presbyterian church in Penfield. She was one in a family of eleven children, and was the mother of nine children. Surviving her she has left one sister of the age of ninety-four, who resides in Boston; one brother of the age of seventy-three and one son and daughter who reside in Penfield.
     On the 22d day of February 1833, on profession of faith, he united with the Presbyterian church in Penfield, and retained this relation until she joined the church triumphant in the heavens. As a woman she possessed remarkable force and integrity of character. As a wife and mother and neighbor, she was considerate, kind, benevolent, affectionate and just. As a Christian she was scrupulously exact in both precept and example, and she was never ostentatious, but always modest and retiring, and yet, full of vigor, love and vivacity. Her faculties remained in full force, exhibiting a considerate judgment up to the day and evening before she took her chariot for the better world. Her memory will be dearly cherished by all who have had the pleasure and benefits of her society and acquaintance.

DEATH OF MISS LAMA H. WILLIAMS
 
Friday morning one of the most estimable and noble-hearted young ladies of this city -- Miss Lama H. WILLIAMS -- died at the residence of her brother, James B. WILLIAMS, number 4 Tracy park. For a long time past it had been known that, sooner or later, life must yield to the insidious disease that had fastened itself upon her, but still when the end finally came, none the less severe was the blow that fell upon the hearts of her many sorrowing friends. Those who were so fortunate as to be associated with Miss WILLIAMS, testified to the remarkable cheerful and affectionate qualities of her disposition, the purity and nobility of her character, and the reality and strength of her christian faith. Peculiarly self-denying toward her associates, she was warmly beloved by all, and her death "makes heaviest mourning" throughout a very large circle of friends.
     The funeral services take place this afternoon, at 2 o'clock.
