At the same time, his stable was discovered to be on fire also. Before the flames could be extinguished, these buildings were entirely destroyed, together with six others. The fire was not checked until it reached the corner opposite Mack’s store. We have not learned the particulars, or the estimated loss. The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary; and it is generally supposed to have been done by a noted scamp named Cox, who has recently broken out of several jails in this neighborhood. It is said that he threatened to do so, on account of the active part taken by Mr. Biggs in procuring his arrest. SAD ACCIDENT Wendall Ioachim, a little boy, six or eight years of age, son of Wendall Ioachim, of Pomeroy, had his skull fractured by a kick from a horse which he was holding, on Sunday last. His father left him, with an older brother, in charge of the horse for a few moments while he stepped into the house; and before he had been absent from him five minutes the accident happened. He was alive at last accounts, but no hopes are entertained of his recovery. ANOTHER SAD ACCIDENT – A young man named Wilson, son of George Wilson, in company with a Mr. Logan were out gunning in Rutland township on Sunday last. Finding no game, they commenced shooting at a mark. While engaged in this sport, Wilson’s gun was accidentally discharged, the contents entering his left breast, killing him instantly. The deceased was about nineteen years of age. REV. R. WILKINSON [abstracted] Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Pomeroy will be moving to the far west and will presently be located near Davenport, Iowa. DISSOLUTION – the partnership heretofore existing between Jones, Harris & Co., is this day dissolved by mutual consent. All persons having business with the late firm will settle the same with Harris & Co.

We truly sympathize with our venerable friend and neighbor, Mr. Patton. Member after member, branch after branch of his family and household, have been stricken down in the last few years. But a few years since, his wife and an intelligent and educated son, were cut off by the cholera in a few hours’ sickness. They breathed their last but a few hours apart. Daughter-in-laws and grandchildren, following in quick succession, making the number, we believe, of his family connections that have departed this life - - sixteen. About fourteen months since, he was called to mourn the lost of a son, who died on his way to New Orleans - - far from his parents and home, and among strangers. And now he has to mourn the death of his youngest son - - the last prop and anticipated comfort and help of his declining days. The deceased was a youth of more than ordinary abilities and worth. Manly, frank, and open, in his conduct and deportment. He was exemplary in his habits, and kindness, obedient, and industrious. He was endowed with a strong mind and a retentive memory. It would be hard to predict what ripened age, with proper culture, would have brought forth in such an individual. The language he made use of to his heart stricken father and step-mother, brothers and sister, a few moments before he expired, was truly touching and affecting. The aged heart stricken father and mother, bereaved brother and sisters, and mourning friends and relative, have the warm sympathies, of a sympathetic and kind community. MARRIED On Thursday evening, May 15th by Rev. S. C. Frampton, Mr. William Jennings, to Miss Frances Murdock, all of Pomeroy. On the same day, by the same, Mr. George J. Cromwell, to Miss Eliza Davenport, both formerly of Lewisburg, VA LIST OF LETTERS Remaining in the Postoffice at Middleport, O., May 17th, 1856 Arnold Elizabeth Barringer Asa Curry R. B.

He had been ill, of fever, for a few days, but, on Saturday, he was so much better that hopes were entertained of his speedy recovery. On Saturday evening, he was able to walk about the house and garden - - the next morning, before sunrise he was a corpse. About 4 o’clock, he was heard to breathe strangely. His parents hastened to his bedside and found him dying. He had probably been seized in a fit of some kind. Emerson was about sixteen years of age; yet very few of riper years enjoyed a larger share of the esteem and confidence of this community.
