Death of a Young Lady At Niagara Falls -
There was a sad accident at the Falls on the Canada side on Saturday, August 24th, which resulted in the death of Miss Martha K. Rugg, a young lady belonging to Lancaster, Mass. She was in company with a party of friends and relatives, and while attempting to gather some shrubs growing on the brink of the precipice near the Museum, lost her balance, and with a loud shriek fell. When taken up she was alive, but insensible. Able medical aid, which was promptly rendered, was unavailing; and she died in about three hours. The body was brought to Buffalo the same evening, and has been taken for burial to Detroit, where her sister, Mrs. G. W. Howe, resides.
