G.A. McLAIN, EDWARD CHESLEY AND THOS. HENDERSON, of Indiana, and several other
members of Co. B, 11th Reserves, came home on furlough, a few days since. They
were wounded at the Fredericksburg fight.

HOCKENBERRY, the murderer of "DEVIL" JOHN THOMPSON, was recently reprieved by
the Governor. He returned home, and not finding matters to please him, he
turned the family out of doors, and committed suicide by cutting his throat. So
we are informed.

MARRIED. On Wednesday, the 17th inst., by Rev. D. Blair, MR. JOHN AMOND to MISS
MARTHA SIMPSON, both of Greenville, Indiana county, Pa.

[large article recapping the war for the year]

On last Thursday, MR. THOMAS HOOD of the vicinity of West Lebanon, was thrown
from a wagon, and in the fall fractured the cheek bone of his right cheek.

MR.JAMES HAZLETT, son of JOHN C. HAZLETT, of Georgeville, this county, a member
of Co. E, 11th Reserves, was brought to this place to-day (Monday) on his way
home. He was wounded in the battle of South Mountain by a ball in the thigh,
fracturing the bone. He is recovering slowly. We trust he will soon be able to
move about again.

Some scoundrels, who will never get their deserts outside the walls of the
County Jail, on last Wednesday night, broke in a window of the residence of MR.
JOSEPH HOFFMAN, of this place. (Mr. H. is absent in the army.)  --A number of
young persons were spending the evening with MRS. HOFFMAN, when the villains
thrust a large pole through the window, and then decamped. The premises were
instantly searched, but no one was found. We trust such consummate rascals will
get their reward in due time. 

Another bold and atrocious assault was perpetrated in this place on last
Wednesday evening. A young man, MR. JOSEPH McNEIL, was passing down North
Clymer street, when, upon reaching the alley at Thompson and Son's Store, he
was accosted by two persons with the question, "Is this you?" Mr. McN. answered
"Yes" ; whereupon one of the interrogators struck at him with a knife, curring
a gash of several inches in length in the right lapel of his coat. Mr. McN
dealt the fellow a blow, knocking him down. At this the other "rough" made a
stroke at Mr. McN's head, also with a knife, cutting through his hat a length
of about 4 inches. Mr. McN now took to his heels and escaped....

MARRIED. On the 1st inst., by John Martin, Esq., MR. SETH McKEEN to MISS MARY
F. PERKINS, both of Cambria county.

son of J.C. AND THETTA Q. PRENTISS, aged 6 years.
    On Monday the bodies of Mother and Son were consigned to one grave, in the
midst of an unusually large and sympathetic assembly. [verse]
    Most of our readers will recognize in the subject of the above notice the
sprightly maiden, THETTA QUAY, daughter of the REV. MR. QUAY, formerly pastor
of the Presbyterian congregation at this place. Her demise is truly a sad
bereavement to her husband and family. The community in which she resided will
feel deeply her loss; and nowhere will the family of the deceased find a more
heartfelt sympathy than here. Peace to her ashes.
--On December 22d, ELIZABETH, aged 6 years, 1 month and 11 days; and on the
31st, HARRY, aged 3 years 6 months and 13 days, children of JAMES M. AND MARY

months.

3 February 1863

CANDLE-MAS. This feast of the Church is celebrated on the 2nd day of February,
in honor of the purification of the Virgin Mary; and derives its name from the
great number of candles used upon that occasion. There is a superstition in
connection with this day, which, although not generally credited, is
nevertheless looked to with great interest by many. It is this: the
wood-chucks, or ground-hogs, confine themselves, during winter, to their
burrows, from which it is said they emerge on the 2nd day of February, to take
a look at the weather. Should the sun shine brightly, and discover to his
ground-hogship his own shadow, he immediately returns to his burrow, and
remains shut up six weeks longer, in expectation of severe cold weather during
that time; but if the day is murky, and he cannot see his shadow he continues
upon terra firma, being satisfied that the ensuing weather will be pleasant.
To-day (Monday) the sun shone bright all day, and, unless ground-hogs are not
reliable weather prognosticators, we may look for extreme cold during the
remainder of winter.

DIED. In the borough of Taylorsville, on Saturday, the 17th of January, of
measles, MARTIN LUTHER, son of GEORGE J. AND CATHARINE KELLER, aged 9 months.
         Sleep, dear child, and take thy rest;
         God called thee home when he saw best.



10 February 1863

A little daughter of MRS. AGNES MYERS, of this place, received a severe fall on
Saturday evening, causing concussion of the brain. She is improving rapidly.

MR. JAMES HAZLETT, whose return from the army we noticed a few weeks ago, died
at the residence of his father at Greenville, on Friday last, from a wound
received at the Battle of South Mountain. He is another victim of this accursed
rebellion.

[Co A, 61st P.V. long long list of deaths, discharges, missing in actions,
deserters, and wounded now on duty. IF you need this list, let me know.]

         One fair flower now is faded, one lovely form has fled,
         One sweet voice is hushed--, One school mate now is dead.
McCOMB --In Marchand, Indiana county, February 18th, 1863, of Inflammation of
the lungs, ALMA THEDA, daughter of T.R. AND N.A.A. McCOMB, aged 2 months and 23
days. 
         Dearest Alma, thou art gone 
         From a world of sin and sorrow,
         To dwell above where Jesus is;
         In the presence of God forever.
         Though sorrow rests heavy on our hearts,
         When thou art taken away,
         But we know submission to the will of God,
         Expecting to meet thee in heaven.   TRM



3 March 1863

AT HOME. CAPT. DAN. S. PORTER came home about ten days ago, on a short
furlough. T.M. McCANDLESS is also home for a few days. Both these gentlemen
look well. "Sogering" seems to agree with them.
CHARLES CAMPBELL AND J.D. PATTON have also returned from the West, and, we
believe, they propse locating here again, at least for the present.

ARCHIBALD McCONNAEGHEY, a hack-driver on the road from Indiana to Brookville,
was arrested at Ayers', in this county, on last Thursday, charged with stealing
a package of money from MR. HUGH B. McCRACKEN, a passenger in the stage.
Information was made before ESQ. COULTER, of this place, on Wednesday, a
warrant issued and prisoner arrested. A hearing was had on Thursday evening,
and renewed on Saturday, when the prisoner was fully committed to answer. The
package contained $75, and, it is alleged, was stolen from the carpet sack of
Mr. McC., while he was at dinner, in Marion. The money, was recovered, and
identified by MR. J.R. REESE, the owner.

DIED.
WESTLAKE. On Thursday, the 19th of February, in this borough, WILLIE B., infant
son of J. WILLIS AND ADA A. WESTLAKE, aged 11 weeks and 5 days.


10 March 1863

On Monday of last week, a little son of MR. ADAM ROW, of this place, accidently
cut himself in the leg, with a knife. The cut, although a severe one, is
healing rapidly.

Recently some clothes were stolen from the garden of MR. GEORGE BECK, of this
place. They have since been partially recovered; and a woman--one MOL. HOOVER--
arrested and confined in jail on charges of having committed the theft.

By a private letter, we learn that CAPT. CUMMINS received a present of a
beautiful sword, worth $100, from his company, a few days ago, in token of
their high appreciation of his cool and daring conduct in the late battle at
Murfreesboro. LT. NUGENT was also the recipient of a fine sword.

ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN GONE. On last Friday evening, MR. JAMES COULTER, an old
citizen of this county, died suddenly at his residence in White township. He
had been complaining of indisposition for some days. On the evening of his
death, he was moving about the premises feeling rather better than for several
days previous, and after feeding some stick he went to the house and lay down
upon the floor, where in a few minutes, he expired without the least struggle;
the only motion observed by those present, was the falling of his hand from his
breast on the floor. He was a soldier in the War of 1812; and has been a
citizen of this county for about fifty years, and for many years a member of
the Presbyterian church. His age was about 72 years.

choked herself to death.

24 March 1863

LEVI HILDERBRAND, of Brushvalley township, this county,w as seriously injured
by the falling of a tree, on Saturday the 14th inst.

JOHN COCHRAN, of Saltsburg, this county, a member of Co. D., 135th PV, Capt.
Wilson's, died a short time ago. --Peace to his ashes.

DR. D.M. MARSHALL, of Phillip's Mills, in this county, who has been for some
time Assistant Surgeon of the 103rd Regt PV has been appointed Surgeon of the
167th PM.

AT HOME. LT. A.W. STEWART, of Co. B, 11th PRC, "Archy" looks remarkably well,
considering the "hard through" he has had of it, whilst playing the "bould
soger boy," on the Peninsula, and along the Rapahannock. We welcome him home.

MR. JACOB EARHART, of Saltsburgh, this county, met with an accident on the 6th
inst., which came near resulting fatally. He was engaged in felling some locust
trees, and had cut one tree, which lodged against another, and whilst cutting
the second one, the first tree fell upon him, breaking one of his legs and
seriously injuring his breast. He was carried to his residence, and at last
accounts there were prospects of his recovery.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. On Saturday monring last, about seven o'clock, the large
frame Brewery and dwelling house of MR. ANDREW STADTMILLER, in the eastern part
of Indiana, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm was given and our citizens
assembled at the scene of the conflagration. The fire burned with great
rapidity; and, although every effort to save anything that could be saved was
made, the building with most of its contents was consumed. It is not known how
the fire originiated--it being first discovered up stairs. There was a very
high wind at the time, owing to which cause, other buildings were greatly
endangered. They were saved, however, by judicious management. The cellar and
vaults of the Brewery contained a large quantity of lager beer, much of which
was destroyed. MR. STADTMILLER's loss will reach probably $3000 or $3500.
    This is another warning to our citizens to do something to secure our town
against fire. On several occasion, heretofore, there has been considerable talk
about procuring a fire engine, and, we regret to say, that the whole matter
endedin talk. We doubt whether there is another town, anywhere, of the size of
Indiana, that is so poorly provided with the means of putting out fire.

WILD CATS. About ten days ago, MR. JACOB MURPHY, of Brushvalley township, this
county, killed a wild-cat, along the waters of Yellowcreek, which measured
three feet in length. Mr. M. first discovered the animal on the ground, and
shot it in one of its hind legs, when it turned upon him and showed fright.
--He grasped a club, and dealt several severe blows, when it treed; whereupon
Mr. M. reloaded his gun and shot the brute.
    Two other wild-cats have been shot, within a few days past, near Armagh,
this county.

MARRIED.

WILLIAM LINTNER, JR., of Blairsville, and MISS AGGIE E. SCOTT, of Armagh.

years.

MR. ISAAC CLOWES, aged 26 years, 8 months and 24 days.

Indiana county, of Diptheria, SAMUEL MARSHALL IRWIN, aged 11 years, 8 days, son
of JOHN AND CATHARINE R. IRWIN.



31 March 1863

FATAL ACCIDENT. A young man, named JAMES REPINE, aged about 25 years, formerly
of this place, met with an accident on Wednesday night which caused his death.
He had been in Blairsville on Wednesday, and was somewhat intoxicated. In this
condition, he started out of town, going by way of the "Alum Bank." By some
accident he fell over the bank, a distance of about forty feet, and lodged in a
bush, or fallen tree top, with his feet entangled so as to hold him fast, while
his head hung downward. In this predicament, he was found sometime on Thursday,
still alive. He was removed, but died from his injuries before the close of the
day. There were no bones broken, and it is probable that his death resulted
entirely from the unnatural position in which he was held during some twelve or
fifteen hours.

BITTEN BY A DOG. A little child of MR. A. GOEBEL, of this place, was severely
bitten by a dog, one day last week. The dog belonged to MR. BALSER SNYDER, who
had stopped in to see MR. GOEBEL--and while there, the little fellow,
child-like, attempted to drive the dog away, and struck him with a stick. This
infuriated the brute, and he instantly seized the child by the face, threw him
down and shook him, lacerating his face in some half dozen places. The child is
recovering rapidly from his wounds. Such a savage brute should not be allowed
to run at large.

DIED.
GALLAGHER. On the (13th) inst., at Darlington, Wisconsin, ELIZABETH, wife of
MAJ. PHILLIP GALLAGHER, aged about 55 years.
    About eighteen days ago, the deceased, in company with her husband and
family, left this place for the West, in the enjoyment of good health.
MARSHALL. On the 21st inst., at his residence in Canoe township, this county,
S.S. MARSHALL, aged about 55 years.

FULL OR PARTIAL sets of artificial teeth, on gold or vulcanized base, put up at
short notice in the very best style, and cheap for cash, by DR. T.A. LEWIS, two
doors east of Kinter's Hotel, Indiana, Pa.

ALMOST A FIRE. On Sabbath afternoon our citizens were aroused by the alarm of
fire, the occasion of which was the burning of a bed in the residence of MR.
GEORGE BOADENHAMMER. It is thought the fire originated from a spark from the
fire down-stairs, and which it is preseumed found egress from the flue through
a pipe-hole up-stairs, and thus fell on the bed. The bed was destroyed, but no
further injury was done.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT. A few days ago a little girl named MARY REED, of West
Lebanon, this county, entered the Steam Grist Mill at that place, and by some
means her clothes were caught by an upright shaft attached to the bolting
apparatus, forcing the body between the shaft and a post about six inches from
it, which completely severed the head from the body; the blothing stripped
entirely off, and the body bruised and mangled in a most frightful manner. This
is another warning to parents to be watchful of their children, and keep them
away fom places of so much danger. "In the midst of life we are in death."

MARRIED.
RAY-STEPHENS. On Thursday, the 19th of March, by Rev. Byron Porter, MR. WILLIAM

A LARGE OWL. On last Saturday, W. SCOTT SHIELDS, son of A. SHIELDS, ESQ., of
Rayne township, aged 15 years, shot an Owl which measured four feet two inches
between the tips o the wings.

PROMOTED. We are pleased to learn that our popular friends, CAPT. DAN. S.
PORTER, has been appointed Lt. Col. of the gallant 11th Pa. Reserves. --"Dan"
has proved himself to be a gallant and noble commander on quite a number of
hard fought fields. A higher position awaits him.

JOHN STANARD, ESQ., was home on a visit last week. He has been in the U.S.
military service for some eighteen months. --He was captured by the Rebels at
Harper's Ferry, last fall, and was paroled. During the past winter, he was at
Camp Douglas, Chicago, in the Commissary Department. He was recently exchanged,
and has gone to rejoin his regiment in Eastern Virginia. JOHN looks remarkably
well. He has all along served as a private soldier. We should be pleased to
hear of his being promoted. Success to him.

REMOVAL. MR. JOHN C. STADTMILLER Has removed his Lager Beer Saloon to the room,
on North Clymer Street, formerly occupied by the Messenger printing office. MR.
S. has put his room in good trim, and the lovers of Lager, who frequent John's
Saloon, will, no doubt, be pleased with the change of places. "Old Andy's"
Lager is always at a premium among the lovers of the "Barley Bree."

DIED.
MOORHEAD. In Washington City, D.C., onthe 29th March, of hemorrhage of the
lungs, ALFRED W. MOORHEAD, in the 28th year of his age.

his father, he was appointed to a clerkship in the Washington Post Office,

lasted about six weeks. His mother was sent for, but did not reach the city
until after the departure of the funeral cortege. He leaves behind many warm
friends, and but few, if any, enemies.

MARGARET FORWALT, aged 44 years and 11 months.

ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN GONE. DR. ROBERT MITCHELL, for 52 years a citizen of this
place, died at his residence on last Tuesday morning, at the advanced age of 76
yeras. He was an active and successful practicioner from the time of his
location here until a few years since, when he withdrew from professional
service. He early imbibed the principles of universal liberty, and was earnest
in the advocacy of his political sentiments. He was a good man, an excellent
citizen, and an indulgent and kind parent. He lived to a good old age--his hair
whitened by the frosts of many years --and now he's gone "to that undiscovered
land from whose bourne no traveler returns." Requiescent in pace.
