August 26th, by Rev. Samuel Aughey, MR. ROBERT M'FEATERS and MISS MARY C. KUNKLE, all of Indiana county. DIED. In this borough, of diptheria, on last Sunday, CHARLES P., son of THOMAS AND MARY LLOYD, age nearly four years. 9 September 1862 HOME. MR. JOHN SUTOR, of Co. B. 11th PRC returned home last week. John had been in the hospital for some time, and thus escaped being in the late battles before Washington; however, he learned all the particulars about our company before he left. THE KILLED AND THE WOUNDED. Long lists of the killed and wounded int he late battles are published in the large Dailies. It is impossible for us to publish them--this county has again suffered severely. The companies from this place and Blairsville had a number killed and woulded. There are so many rumors afloat that it is difficult to decide what to believe. Letters from the same companies written by different persons differ in details. The promptness with which those who survived wrote home to their friends relieved many. Letters from teh army we are informed have been received in every part of the county. By these almost every one will learn the fate of the soldiers from their immediate vicinity. CO B 11TH RESERVES. From a letter dated Camp near Centreville, September 1st from G. ADAMS McCLAIN, of this borough, we take the following. "...On last Saturday...between the contacts of the gun and shell, J.M. LOUGHREY was wounded in the legs. There are 11 wounds--9 below and 2 above the knee. His wounds were carefully dressed and he was sent to Washington. No bones are injured. On yesterday we were ordered to fight against the fiercest fire imaginable. We had fired only a few shots when HENDERSON C. HOWARD fell. He was wounded in the thigh, and some state also in the head. ... HOWARD was taken partly off the field bt whether he got off or not I cannot say. Will get you particulars in a few days. Before we fell back a ball struck my canteen, passed through it, and struck my finger, which is quite painful. I am thankful it is no worse...." OUR WOUNDED. From WILLIAM MARSHALL, who ahs been at Washington since the late battles we learn the following: CAPT CRAIG, wounded in wrist CAPT HASTING, bullet wound in the leg CAPT THOMPSON, severely wounded in breast FRANK HARBISON, wounded in calf of leg and is in hospital in Baltimore WILLIAM HARBISON, wounded slightly, is in hospital at Baltimore SAMUEL RAY, general debility, in hospital at Baltimore WILLIAM HILL, arm reported broken ADAMS McLAIN, wounded in fingers J.M. LOUGHREY, severe wound in leg CONSTANTINE MORTON, wounded in side HENRY EMPFIELD, wounded in head SAMUEL LYDICK, wounded slightly in head HENDERSON C. HOWARD, killed CHARLES SHAMBAUGH, severe wound in leg JOSEPH McGUIRE, slight wound, on duty WILLIAM HAZLET, in hospital at Washington HARRISON CONNER, still disabled from wound at Fair Oaks JAMES POUNDS, in hospital at Washington, slight wound JAMES AUL, in same hospital, severe wound in arm LIEUT. JOHN P. BLAIR, wounded. 16 September 1862 HORRIBLE. On last Sunday night, WILLIAM HALL, of Washington township, in a fit of insanity, seized an axe and inflicted severe wounds on the heads of his wife and daughter. The injuries are so severe that it is thought they will prove fatal in both cases. 22 September 1862 My Dear Sit-- Ere this reaches you you will have learned the sad news of your son's death. He was wounded about 9 o'clock on the morning of the 17th inst. His wound was a gunshot wound passing through his right lung and out at the right side below. When he fell, I brought him back of the line and took off his cartridge box and belt. He was bleeding most profusely. I called to JAMES TRIMBLE and HENRY PROTHERO to carry him away. They came to him, but just them he appeared to be dying. We laid him on his back and went back to the line. I had not been back long before I heard him calling me. I went back to him. He was sitting up and seemed revived. He said if he was not carried away he would bleed to death. I determined to have him off the field at all hazards. When I looked around at that gallant little band of eight which had followed me in that murderous fight, but three were left. These three, CONSTANTINE MORTON, HENRY PROTHERO AND JAMES H. TRIMBLE, speedily came back, got him on a blanket and carried him back till they got him an ambulance. HENRY PROTHERO went with him and the other two returned. In short time our brigade was relieved. I was not able to find your son till in the afternoon, when I found him in the care of JOHN F. McCLAIN, who was ministering to his every want. I spoke to the Doctor concerning him. He had dressed his wounds, but expressed no hope for his recovery. He promised me to do everything in his power. I asked it as a special favor. --He was then perfectly sensible, and complained of pain in his shoulder. I went over to the hospital in the morning. --When I first looked at him I thought he was asleep, but alas! it was the long sleep of death. His eyes were closed and he seemed to have slept life sweeyly away. I had him taken in an ambulance to Keedysbille. Seven of us went with his body to the town. HUMPHREY, MORTON and myself returned to the regiment, whilst HENDERSON, McLAIN, DEBLIN AND HOWARTH remained and had him interred in a coffin, suitably marking him grace, so that should you desire to lift it, it can easily be found. Your son's wild generous nature made him a favorite in the company. On the day he fell, he fought most heroically, and I am sure from the steady aim he drew, more than one rebel was made to bite the dust. I miss him much and feel his loss in the company. Everything was done for his comfort and proper interment that possibly could be done. It was a terrible battle and the slaughter was awful. It was sickening to pass over that bloody field. But thank God we were victorious. I feel lost. My brave comrades are falling around me. God has been merciful to me and passed me through these deadly scenes. LOUGHREY and SHAMBAUGH fell at Bull Run. STUCHEL, WILLIAM LOUGHREY AND KIMBERLIN, at South Mountain. Your son and four wounded men in the last. As long as one of Co. B lasts I am willing to stand at my post and share their dangers. May treason soon be blotted out and our country made happy as it was. You will please accept my sympathy in your bereavement, and my God on which you have relied in days before comfort and console you in the loss of a beloved son. He fell for his country. --Let his name be honored. Yours very truly, D.S. Porter 30 September 1862 Among the list of dead from this State in the published account, we find that of CAPT. NATHANIEL NESBIT, of this county. He was wounded in the breast in one of the battles in Maryland. He was a brave soldier and an esteemed citizen. Peace to his ashes. RETURNED. R.E. McCREA, of Mechanisburg, who has been soldiering in the 55th Pennsylvania Regiment, in South Caroline, returned home a few days ago. He is in bad health. Also, LITTLE JACK McLAIN, drummer in Co. K 105th Reg. JACK has grown to be quite a man. IMPORTANT NOTICE. Those in Pennsylvania who have had friends or relatives in the late battles in Maryland, and who were killed in those encounters can receive any intelligence concerning their remains, place of burial, &c., by writing to MR. GEORGE J. SHOWMAN, Fairfax PO, Washington county, Maryland. MR. SHOWMAN has kept a record of a large number of soldiers whom he buried, marking their graves, and in all things preserving the facts related to their identity, so that he might be able to give any information in reference to their burial which may be sought by their friends. MARRIED. On the 18th inst., by Rev. C.L. Streamer, J. ANDERSON WHITE, of Canoe township, to MISS ELIZA SIMSON [sic], of Covode. DIED. On the 20th inst., in Kiskiminitas township, Armstrong county, of diptheria, JEREMIAH, son of S. AND C. HILTY, aged 14 years. --On the 21st, at the same place, of the same, FRANK, son of S. AND C. HILTY, aged about 8 years. --On the 26th, in White township, CATHERINE JANE O'NEIL aged about 17 years. --On the _____, in this borough, CHARLES SEDGWICK, aged about 18 years. The deceased belonged to the regular cavalry of the USA and was home on furlough Death has blighted the career of a promising man and a faithful soldier.

HODGE AND ALBERT JEWELL, of Young township, this county, went to Waddell's Upper Salt Works, for a load of salt, each, near Kelly's fording, on the Conemaugh river. They were obliged to cross the canal, over which there was a bridge, in order to get their loading. MR. JEWELL, with a two-horse team, drove on the bridge, and when about half way across, the structure broke down, precipitating MR. J., his horses and wagon into the water, fifteen feet below. MR. HODGE, who had not yet reached the bridge, stopped his team and ran to MR. JEWELL'S assistance, who at the time of the occurrence was upon his wagon, and yet strange to say, although the wagon was turned upside down, escaped unhurt. By the united efforts of the two gentlemen, the horses were soon extricated, having received but little injury. The wagon was soon righted, and the teams again put in motion, making a circuit of several miles to get to a fording. The escape of MR. J. and his team seems almost miraculous. The bridge, though an old one, was in constant use, and was deemed by those living in the vicinity, to be safe to cross upon. DIED. In this place, on October 8th, of Diptheria, MRS. MARGARET P. SEDGWICK, wife of G.W. SEDGWICK, ESQ., aged 29 years, 5 months and 4 days. The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church of this place, and manifested her piety in her daily intercourse with those with whom she associated. She was a kind and indulgent mother, and leaves ( ). She was highly esteemed by those who associated with her. Peace to her ashes. 21 October 1862 [entire list of exemptions for the county, can be extracted later] [list of drafted militia, can also be extracted later] DIED. At Washington, D.C., on the 18th inst., of Intermittent fever, P. CRAIG KINTER, son of ISAAC KINTER, of Rayne township, in the 24th year of his age. The deceased left this place about two months ago, with Company I (Captain KINTER'S) (135th) P.T. On Saturday his father received information of his extreme illness, and he immediately started for Washington --but too late to meet his son alive. MR. K. was a very worthy and industrious young man, and his early death will be sorely felt by his parents and numerous friends. When the call for nine months' volunteers was made, young KINTER responded with alacrity, and was appointed a sargeant in the company of which he was a member. His career as a soldier was brief, --let the soldier's praise be his. 28 October 1862 [list of drafted men and their substitutes, can be extracted later] MARRIED. On October 4, by T. (Hays), esq., MR. THOMAS H. MORGAN and MISS NANCY KOOF, of Plumville. DIED. In Montgomery township, of Diptheria, September 24, MAHALIA RUTH, aged 8 years and 4 months; one October 11th, HARRIET EMMA, aged 12 years, 6 months and 14 days, daughters of J. LEWIS AND MARY H.

SAMUEL SHIELDS, of White township, returned home from the army of the Potomac to-day, having been discharged from the service, owing to a severe wound received in the battle of Mechanicsville, Virginia, during the seven days fight before Richmond. MR. S.'S would is a somewhat singular one. The ball entered his mouth, tearing away several teeth and part of his tongue, and coming out at the back of his neck between the two great sinews there. The wound is almost healed, but the loss of part of the tongue has cause a slight impediment of speech. MARRIED. On the 22nd ult., by A. Wiggins, Esq., MR. GEORGE WIKE to MISS PLEASANT CLAWSON, all of Cherryhill township. 18 November 1862 AT HOME. Our young townsman, F.F. YOUNG, who has served as a soldier in Co. B., 11th P.R.C., during the last fifteen months, returned home on last Friday, in the enjoyment of food health, and "looking so better ask never." We learn that he has been discharged from service in his former capacity, with the intention of joining another company in which he will in all probability, be promoted to a lieutenancy. We welcome him home to his friends, and wish him many a pleasant hour among his old associates during his stay here. SAD ACCIDENT. A child of MR. DAVID HARMAN, of Plum creek, was almost instantly killed, on the 4th inst., as follows: --MR. H., with his wife and child were driving in a buggy, on the Smicksburg road between Chambersville and Thompson McKee's, when a copper kettle which he had taken into the buggy, fell out, striking the horse on the keels, causing him to run away. The whole party were thrown from the buggy with great violence, fracturing MRS. HARMAN'S arm, and killing the child as above stated. MARRIED. On the 2d inst., by Rev. M.m. shirley, MR. E.O.

D 135th Regt PV, aged 26 years, 6 months and 13 days. The deceased, shortly after the arrival of his regiment in Washington, met with an accident which unfitted him for the active service of the field and he was detailed to take charge of the Regimental hospital, the duties of which positioned he most faithfully and zealously performed, until from over-exertion he fell a victim to disease. His body was embalmed, and sent to his parents, in Saltsburg, for intermnet. May God in his mercy soothe the sorrow of the afflicted parents and friends. -W. --At the residence of his father on the 13th inst., JOHNSTON W. BROWN, Co G 11th PV. This young man responded early to the call of his country for volunteers to crush the rebellion ( ). --On the 14th, MRS. (PARNILIPE), wife of WILLIAM SHANNON, of Dropsy. 2 December 1862 HUGH J. BRADY, ESQ., of this county, has been chosen Lieutenant Colonel of one of the regiments of drafted militia, from this State. GEORGE R. WEISTLING is Colonel. The companies from this county are attached to the regiment. A BOY NAMED HOWEARTH, of Cherryhill township, aged about 14 years, was accidentally struck by a stone, hurled by another boy, on the 21st ult., and so badly injured that he died the next day. The lads were attending school at Howe's School house and, it is stated, in company with other boys, were throwing stones at a mark which the accident occurred. This should be a warning to boys to be cautious when and how they hurl stones. DIED. On the 11th ult., in South Mahoning township, of Diptheria, MARY M., daughter of WILLIAM AND JANE WILSON, aged 8 years and 9 days. 11 December 1862 [ones between these dates are missing on the film] MARRIED. On the 4th inst., by Rev. J.P. Hentz, MR. R.J.W. NIXON, of this place, and MISS FLORENCE V. DEFIBAUGH, of Saxon, Huntingdon county, Pa. There, now! "he's gone and went and done it." Brightly shine the ** of his existence now--may they ne'er grow dim. May no {dagger symbols] of affliction fall to his lot, but his happiness be without {parallel line}, (full) and complete. "Lo, the poor printer!" --we rejoice that he seeks a more blissful life--may disappointment not be his. DIED. In White township, on the 5th, ANN, daughter of GEORGE TRIMBLE, aged about 6 years. --In Rayne township, on the 6th inst., PETER KINTER, ESQ., in the 62d year of his age. MR. KINTER was born in Centre county, Pa., in the year 1800, and moved with his father to this county about 1807, since which time, during a period of 55 years, he has continued his residence here. He was one of our oldest citizens. His energy and perseverance in business pursuits enabled him to amass considerable property. His benevolence and kind hearted-ness endeared him to a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who will remember with sadness that he is no more. He died, to use his own language, a short time previous, "rejoicing in view of the change that was soon to take place." (Comm.) --On the 6th inst., ANNIE MARIE, daughter of HENRY AND CHRISTINA KINTER, of this place, aged 20 years, 4 months and 24 days. [verse] 16 December 1862 none 23 December 1862 none 30 December 1862 The house of MR. S. CURRY, in Greene township, was destroyed by fire on the morning of the 20th inst. Cause: a defective flue. JOHN GRIFFITH, of East Wheatfield, D.M. BARCLAY, of Armaugh, and JAMES D. LOVE, of __________, members of Capt. Boler's Co., 12th Reserves, were killed at Fredericksburg. MR. DON LOUGHNER, of this place, for 18 months a musician in the 11th Reserves, returned home a few days since, having received his discharge on account of ill health. He went from here with Co. B, Capt. Porter. MR. ISSAC R. BROWN, of East Wheatfield township, shot himself, through carelessness, a few days ago. He took his gun down to shoot a beef. Wishing to ascertain whether the gun was loaded he put his foot on the cock and prested [sic] it back; at the same time blowing into the muzzle. His foot slipped, and the gun, being loaded, it was discharged with the above result. Some hands on the Indiana Branch Railroad met with a serious accident, near Blairsville, on Saturday evening a week. They were in a hand car, which ran upon a large stone lying on the track, throwing the party out upon the ground. PETER HARKINS had his left shoulder and ankle dislocated, and one of the bones of his leg broken. JOHN BANE was slightly bruised. The others escaped injury. It is thought the stone was placed upon the track by some malicious scoundrel. We hope he may be ferreted out and severely punished. In this place, on Thursday (Christmas) evening, a most violent and outrageous assault was made upon MR. MARK HIRSH, a pedlar, of Pittsburgh. MR. H was coming down Philadelphia street on his way to Kinter's Hotel, where he was staying. When in front of the residence of S.M. CLARK, ESQ., two persons approached him, from behind, and began an assault by tramping his heels. MR. HIRSH requested them to desist, when one of them struck him a severe blow on the temple, knocking him down. The assailant then thrust his hand into MR. H's pocket, evidently designing to commit a robbery. MR. H not being much stunned by the blow on his head, sprang up and made an effort to escape, but was immediately knocked down a second time and struck a number of blows, cutting him badly about the head and face, when he called for assistance, and the villains fled. Such an assault upon an individual on the public highway manifests a degree of villainy which we did not expect from any one in this vicinity. Who the perpetrators of this assault are is not known. They deserve the infliction of the severest penalties of the law. MR. JOSEPH DONAHOE, of Blacklick township, while engaged chopping wood, a few days since, almost severed his leg above the ankle by a mis-stroke of the axe. The large bone was cut entirely off.
