DEATH OF MR. SUTTON, OF CLARION.  --We regret greatly to learn of the rumor of
the death of THOMAS SUTTON, ESQ., of Clarion.  His death occurred on the 24th
ult.  He was a gentleman highly and deservedly esteemed, and one of great
public usefulness to a community whose love and confidence he so eminently
enjoyed. --In addition to the mournfulness of the scene, we learn that HIS
ELDEST SON, a fine promising child of four years old, died three days after his
father.  MR. SUTTON leaves a widow and one child to mourn over the wreck which
a single week has wrought in their earthly hopes and affections.

little girl of some three years of age, died in Indiana, on last Tuesday.  The

STORM.  --On last Wednesday, a severe storm passed over this neighborhood.  We
have not learned whether very much damage was done.  MR. LOWMAN, of this
borough, was raising the frame of a new house northeast of town, but before it
could be sufficiently braced, the wind blew it down.  A brick kiln some
distance north of this was unroofed, and a cattle shed was upset at another
place.  Some timber was prostrated in the forests, and a number of apple trees
were uprooted, in an orchard a few miles eastward.

ACCIDENT.  --On Monday as JOSEPH J. YOUNG, ESQ., was crossing the bridge east
of our borough in a carriage, one of the wheels got caught between the planks,
which lie lengthwise with the road, and before he could check the horses they
broke the tongue and jerked MR. Y. out of the carriage.  He was considerably
stunned by the concussion, and had his nose and face severely cut and bruised,
though not otherwise seriously injured.

1 June 1853.

MR WILLIAM M'LARREN, an old resident in this neighborhood, aged about 60 years,
came to his death on Thursday night about 8 o'clock, at the lock kept by his
son-in-law, JOHN READ, opposite Clark's saw-mill, a few miles above town.  A
windlass is used for opening one of the gates, at which he was working to pass
a boat out of the lock, when the boat struck the gate with such force as to
reverse the windlass, and one of the arms struck him with such force in the
face, that he died in a few minutes from the effects of the blow.  --from the
Blairsville Ap.

[note--often these articles are taken from neighboring newspapers.  some
articles have the note "Name of another newspaper" please copy at the end of
the article.  This was to let a neighboring editor know that there were people
in his readership that knew the person.  Sometimes this gives a clue to where
other relatives are living.  In this case, the Blairsville connection is
obvious, since it is in the same county.]

MARRIED.  On Thursday, 12th May, by E.E. Lewis, Esq., MR. WILLIAM JEWART of
Cowanshannock township, Armstrong county, to MISS MARY CATHERINE LITTLE of
South Mahoning township, Indiana county.
--On the 30th may, by Rev. Patter Ildefons, MR. ADREAS TRIEFELNER to CATHERINE
SCHEIRIN.


8 June 1853

RUN-OFF.  --On Monday a pair of horses belonging to MR. J.E. EWING ran away
with a wagon to which they had been hitched.  In making a turn the wagon run
into another belonging to MR. YOUNG, the miller, standing at the street corner,
breaking the two hind wheels and otherwise injuring it.  No damage was done to
Mr. E's wagon, with the exception of the tongue being shattered.  The driver of
the runaway horses, WILLIAM EWING, very bravely held on to them until he got
them checked, though he was near being thrown off directly after they started,
and his situation a rather dangerous one during the whole time.  A son of MR.
YOUNG was in great danger of being crushed at the time of the collission,
though he escaped from injury.  Upon the whole, the individuals may consider
themselves fortunate that the affair ended as well as it did.

    On the afternoon in which she died, the deceased, in usual health, had in
company with a female friend been out riding in a buggy.  Immediately upon her
return, she experienced a violent attack of coughing, accompanied with spitting
of blood, and in less than 15 minutes her spirit had fled its earthly tenement. 
    How striking the truth that we know not the hour wherein the Son of Man
cometh!
