A coroner's inquest was held at Greenwich (Kings Co.) 8th inst. before Isaac Haviland, Esq. on view of the bodies of Richard GRAVES and Benjamin GRAVES sons of Richard GRAVES, one 13 years old and the other five. It appears that the chimney of the house in which they were living, built of stones and clay, fell down suddenly and killed them instantly. Two others of the children were badly hurt. They were found by their father, a widower, on his return to the dwelling.
