Death of John H. Raugh.

  At half past 12 o'clock yesterday afternoon John H. Raugh died at his 
residence, No. 826 First avenue.  Mr. Raugh had been a sufferer for the 
past year from Bright's disease, an ailment which compelled him to take 
to his bed three weeks ago and from which he was destined never to 
recover.  He was an employe of the railroad company in the capacity of 
a watchman in the lower shops, and was held in esteem by his employers.
  He was born in Huntingdon county in August, 1836, and for a number of 
years had been a resident of Altoona.  A wife and four children survive 
him as do also four brothers, two of whom reside in Bellwood and two in 
Iowa.  Mr. Raugh was a soldier during the late war and was a member of 
company C, Fifty-third regiment Pennsylvania volunteers, having 
enlisted October 16, 1861, and was discharged November 5, 1864.  He was 
a member of post 62, Grand Army of the Republic, and will be buried 
with the honors of war.  The time of the funeral will be announced to-
morrow.
