Thursday, 14 Jul 1864 Volume 5, Number 42 Local Correspondence Johnstown, July 10, 1864 The Fourth of July was pretty generally observed here and was prolific of accidents and incidents. A picnic for the benefit of soldiers' families was well patronized and three others, for individual profit, also attracted each a crowd. At one of the latter, several quarrels occurred and two men were shot – one named Cassiday through the arm by John Glass, a furloughed soldier of the 54th P. V., and the other accidentally through the calf of the leg. A large number of eyes were draped in mourning, faces cut &c., at the same time and place. A man named Gick had his foot smashed the same day, while attempting to get on a passing train and it was found necessary to amputate it at the ankle. The same day, L. B. Cohick, Esq., was thrown from a horse and his collar bone broken and he otherwise injured. His condition is considered critical. A trotting match between Mr. Gore's mare and Dr. Emerson's horse came off on the race course in Kernville on the 4th. Gore was declared the winner; his mare making the "heat" is something less than three minutes. Col. Campbell of the 54th P. V. made his appearance here on Friday to rest for a couple of weeks after his late arduous campaign in Western Virginia. He gives the loss of his regiment in the recent movements of Hunter at 11 killed and some 30 wounded. He states that the veterans of the 54th will be home on thirty-days furlough in a short time. The draft for deficiency of twelve of our quota came on the 6th. An insurance company of 255 members, each depositing twenty dollars, had previously been formed and out of this number six were drafted. Those of these who do not desire to take the field in person will thus have an opportunity of commuting at a cost of only about six dollars per man. An effort is being made by T. L. Heyer to recruit a company of one hundred days men in response to Gov. Curtin's proclamation for troops to repel invasion. Another company is also talked of. The great demands existing for labor makes it very difficult to secure the men. The weather during the past few days has been intolerably hot. The thermometer today will reach over 100 degrees in the shade. Business begins to slacken, owing no doubt, to the rapid advance in the price of goods of all kinds. A good article of flour now sells for $12.50. A bear belonging to Van Amburg's Menagerie died here yesterday.
