THOMPSON-WORK. At the "Richey Hotel," Indiana, on Wednesday evening, June 10th, 1863, by the Rev. S.P. Bollman, MR. H.S. THOMPSON, of Rayne township, and MISS HATTIE N. WORK, of Marion, this county. DIED. ALLISON. In Camp Lininger, Virginia, on the 25th August, 1862 [sic], CHARLES ALLISON, son of ROBERT ALLISON, (Forks) of White township, a member of Capt. Marshall's company, six months' men, aged about 27 years. The deceased was a worthy citizen, and leaves a young family to mourn his loss. FATAL ACCIDENT. One day last week, a little son of DR. THOMAS McMULLEN, of Greenville, this county, met with an accident causing his death. The lad, in company with some other children, was playing about a sled, when, by some means, he was thrown down and the sled forced upon his leg, fracturing it from the knee downward, in a shocking manner, from the effects of which he died in a few days. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. A few days ago MRS. ALTMAN, wife of the late HENRY ALTMAN, of this place, had her left hand lacerated in a most shocking manner, while owrking about an apple mill. She was adjusting some of the machinery of the mill, preparatory to using it, when one of her children, by accident, pushed the crank of the mill forward, setting the machine in motion. Her hand was caught between the cogs, severing the two middle fingers about the second joint, and mashing the other two fingers severely. She suffers much pain from her wound. TRULY "IN THE MIDST OF LIFE WE ARE IN DEATH."--On last Sabbath morning, MR. CHARLES B. CAMPBELL, of this place, died suddenly, at the residence of his brother, of Apoplexy, aged about 56 years. The circumstances were about thus: MR. C. ate his breakfast as usual, but soon after complained of feeling sick. After speaking of the matter to the family, he went up stairs and lay down on the bed. DR. ANDERSON was called in, who bled him, after which he seemed to rest quite easy, and apparently fell into a gentle sleep. The Dr. was about to leave the house, when Dr.ST. CLAIR, who had been called, came in. The two physicians returned to the room where MR. C. was lying, and found him a corpse --the deceased has always enjoyed excellent health. He was a man of exceeding large stature, standing about six feet high, and weighing perhaps three hundred pounds. In his intercourse with men he was cheerful, frank and upright, his affableness won him many friends. He was a worthy member of the Presbyterian church, and was unmarried. His sudden death is indeed an illustration that "In the midst of life we are in death." 9 September 1863 MARRIED. BACHMAN-KLINE. On the 3rd inst., at the house of MR. CONRAD BLY, by Rev. J.E. Lapseley, PROFESSOR ALEXANDER BACHMAN, of Philadelphia, to MISS MARANDA B. KLINE, of Indiana, Pa. GRIFFITH-GRIFFITH. On Saturday monring, 5th inst., by Rev. J.P. Kennedy, at his residence in the borough of Cherrytree, MR. B.S. GRIFFITH to MISS JANE GRIFFITH, all of Indiana county, Pa. BUTTERBAUGH-LEWIS. On the 3d inst., by Rev. F. Hollen, MR. J.L. BUTTERBAUGH to MISS MARIA E. LEWIS, all of Indiana county. DIED. PARKER. In East Mahoning township, August 30th, of Diptheria, LEWIS ALBERT, only child of GEORGE W. AND MARY A. PARKER, of Port Bryan, Illinois, aged 2 years, 2 months and 4 days. Lewie, darling, farewell! Thou lovely jewel and mother's pride; Go join in chorus with the millions of redeemed, praising the Lord. Lewie, pet, has gone before us, Left us weeping on the shore. But we hope in Heaven, to meet him, When life's toilsome march is o'er. -Hattie. BORLAND. On August 29th, of Diptheria, ARAMINTA, daughter of ARCHIBALD AND JANE BORLAND, of Rayne township, aged 8 years, 3 months and 3 days. One bright flower has drooped and faded, One lovely form has fled; One fair brow the grave has shaded; Our dear Minta now is dead. A BIG BLAST. We learn that one day last week while some workmen were deepening the well on HON. JOS. THOMPSON'S lot, in this place, they had a big blow up. A blast was made which threw a rock weighing several hundred pounds, besides several smaller ones, out of the well. The well being near the house, some of the stones were hurled through the kitchen, tearing off some boards and knocking a large hole in the roof. Fortunately, no one was in the kitchen at the time. --Taking it all in all, it was the biggest blast made in this vicinity for some time. FOUND. MR. SAMUEL PATTERSON, of Rayne township, Indiana county, left his home on the 5th of June last, after which time nothing was heard of him. His absence, however, did not create much alarm, as he was in the habit occasionally, within a few years past, of absenting himself for several days at a time from home, none of his family knowing anything of his whereabouts. Thus matters stood until a few days since, when it was ascertained that on the day MR. P. left home he was in Indiana, and had purchased a half ounce of arsenic, and on the same evening he was seen about two miles from town on the road to Newville, on his way homeward. It was also learned that for a number of weeks there was a most sickening stench, as of a putrid carcass, where he was last seen. The knowledge of these facts at once induced a search by a number of our citizens, on last Thursday, of the place where the smell eminated. After an hour's hunting a human skull was discovered, a short distance from the public road, while perhaps fifty yards further up the hill was found the remainder of the carcass. Nothing was left but human bones and clothing. The clothing was at once recognized by MRS. PATTERSON, who was also with the party, as belonging to her husband, and having no doubt of the fate of the missing man. Sorrowful as is the knowledge of the fate of the deceased, it is yet a relief, however embittered with sadness, to know the (____________ _____________) befallen him. MRS. P says that for several years the deceased has manifested a melancholy disposition at times; and it is thought that it was in one of those moods he resolved upon and accomplished his own destruction. The whole community commiserates the affliction which has thus fallen upon the family of MRS. PATTERSON. 16 September 1863 MARRIED. MYERS-FULMER. On the 15th September by Rev. J.P. Hentz, MR. JOS. MYERS to MISS SARAH FULMER, both of Rayne township. SKILES-LYNN. On the 25th ult., by Rev. J.C. High, MR. EPH. SKILES to MISS REBECCA FLYNN [sic], both of Indiana county. ZACK-HERRON. On 5th inst., by same, MR. WILLIAM ZACK, of Hollidaysburg, to MISS MARTHA HERRON, of Indiana county. MITCHELL-RUDE. On the 8th, by the same, MR. G.W. MITCHELL and MISS LUCINDA RUDE, both of Baker's Furnace, Indiana county. DIED. LUCAS. On Thursday, September 19th, 1863, in this borough, of Cholera Infantum, JAMES EDGAR, son of JAMES M. AND MARY LUCAS, aged 2 years and 8 months. M'NEEL. On 10th inst., MRS. JANE, wife of JOHN M'NEEL, of White township, aged about 50 years. KILLED. On the 31st August, GEORGE SPENCE, of Canoe township, Indiana county, a drafted man, was killed by a fall from a railroad car at Penn Station, Pennsylvania Railroad. The deceased was on his way to Greensburg, to report for duty, but having fallen asleep, was taken to Penn, where he was waked up by the conductor, who also stopped the train to let him off. Before the train was fully stopped, MR. S. jumped off, by which act he sustained injuries resulting in his death. He was taken to Greensburg, where he was buried with becoming respect and military honors. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. A friend in the 61st Regt send us the following: on Saturday evening, August 23d, while in camp near Sulpher Springs, Va., two of the members of Co A 61st PV (CAPT CREPS), WILLIAM H. STANLEY AND JOHNSTON WALKER, were amusing themselves in the bayonet exercise. STANLEY'S gun went off, the contents entering the left breast of WALKER, close to, and under, the left arm, passing through the chest, and out of the inner edge of the left should blade, inflicting a severe and dangerous wound. WALKER was immediately removed to the hospital, where he is now doing well, and it is hoped through the careful treatment of the Surgeon he will speedily recover. The gun by which this sad accident occurred was one left by the guard accompanying some conscripts to camp, that same evening, and STANLEY picked it up thinking it to be one of their own empty guns. STANLEY and WALKER have both been members of this company since its first outstart, and have seen much hard service. Great sympathy is felt for both of them on account of their misfortune--one for his severe wound, and the other for his wounded spirits. FROM RICHMOND. HON. THOMAS WHITE has just received a letter from his son, MAJ. HARRY WHITE, stating that he is well, though closely confined in Libby Prison. CAPTS. CORNWELL AND CARPENTER are also with MAJ. WHITE, and are well. They have no intimations yet of an exchange. 23 September 1863 AT HOME. Our old friend, A.W. KIMMEL, ESQ. MR. K. look well and hearty, and we are pleased to learn that he will remain at home until after the election. We trust that during the recess from his labors at Washington, he will use his influence and energy to promote the election of Curtin and Agnew. ANDY is a working man, and when he puts his shoulder to the wheel--as he is now doing--we may expect he will accomplish something. BITTEN BY A COPPERHEAD. The wife of MR. JOHN NEWMAN, of Cherryhill township, was bitten by a Copperhead snake, on Thursday evening last. We were unable to learn the effects of the bite, farther than MRS. NEWMAN suffered considerably for her injuries. [STORIES ABOUT DESERTERS---WILLIAM COCHRAN of Cherryhill, GEORGE JUDSON, JOHN GRUMBLING, and ARCHIBALD McCURDY, of Burrell township] 30 September 1863 SHOULD BE STOPPED. We have noticed recently that a couple boys about town are in the habit, almost daily, of riding horses at an unusually rapid speed through our streets. This should not be permitted. We trust the parents of those boys will put a stop to such conduct--otherwise they may fall into the hands of the authorities. The safety of persons upon the street cannot be jeopardized to gratify the whims and desires of reckless men and boys. ALMOST A FIRE. On last Wednesday evening the quiet of our town was disturbed by the cry of fire. We soon learned that the cause of the alarm was the issuing of flames from the loft of a one story building belonging to MRS. DICKEY, and adjoining our residence. The buildings in the vicinity all being wood, and dry as tinder, and considerable wind blowing at the time, beside a scarcity of water owing to the continued dry weather, the situation looked somewhat alarming--at all events we did not feel gratified by the close proximity of the fire to our buildings. By the prompt action of our citizens the fire was quelled, the only damage resulting being the destruction of part of the roof of the "shanty." We thank our neighbors, and citizens generally for their efforts in preventing our property from being damaged or destroyed. But, we lost our pail! It was the first time we ventured to let it go out of our office, and the plaguy [sic] thing took legs and walked off. We will pay a reward of two cents for its safe return to us. 7 October 1863 DIED. AGNEW. At New Castle, Pa., on the ( ) inst., J. SMITH AGNEW, aged 22 years. STEPHENS. In White township, this county, on the 5th inst., MRS. CAROLINE STEPHENS, aged about 26 years. TAYLOR. In Old Town Hospital, JOHN TAYLOR, a private in Co G ( ) PV, aged 26 years. TIME EXTENDED. Any paroled prisoners within the 21st Enrollment District of Pennsylvania, will have until the 15th of October inst., to report to CAPT. W.B. COULTER, Provost Marshall at Greensburg. All who report by the time specified will not be treated as deserters. DEATH OF AN AGED LADY. We inadvertently omitted last week to notice the death, in this place, of MRS. MATILDA STEWART, wife of DR. JAMES M. STEWART. This estimable lady was one of our oldest and most worthy inhabitants, and was specially beloved for her generous and amiable character. She was married in 1815 and has resided in this place since 1817. She has been associated with the Presbyterian chruch for many years. She died in the 72d year of her age. 14 October 1863 ---- 21 October 1863 MARRIED. STEPHENS-LOVELACE. On October 15th, 1863, by Clark Patchin, Esq., MR. JAS. STEPHENS, Co B, 11th Regt PRC, to MISS MARY LOVELACE, of Clearfield county, Pa. DIED. BUTTERBAUGH. At the residence of her parents, in Diamondville, Indiana county, on October 16, 1863, of Typhoid Feaver [sic], MISS JENNY BUTTERBAUGH, daughter of JACOB R. AND LYDIA BUTTERBAUGH, aged about 32 years. THOMPSON. On the 15th October, infant daughter, aged 9 days; and on the 20th October, of Diptheria, HARRY ELLSWORTH, aged 2 years, 8 months and 18 days--children of DR. J.K. AND JANE THOMPSON, of Marion, Indiana county. SUDDEN DEATH. On Saturday, 10th inst., MISS SALLIE KELLY, a maiden lady aged about 68 years, residing near Campbell's mills, in Blacklick township, while going on horseback to MR. JACOB KUNKLE'S, in Armstrong township, was seized with a fit of apoplexy when near the house of MR. DUBRE THOMAS, six miles from Indiana, and fell from her horse. She was carried into MR. THOMAS' house, where she died a few minutes afterward. DEATH OF LIEUT. ADAM LOWRY. We regret to record the death, in Chattanooga, Tenn., after a short illness, of our old and valued correspondent, MR. ADAM LOWRY, Quartermaster of the 78th PV, whose contributions to the Register were replete with interest. MR. LOWRY has shoared the fortunes of the 78th ever since the organization of the regiment, and stood in high favot in the comman. His death occurred on the 28th September, and his remains were interred, with military honors, in the grave-yard at Chattanooga. He was aged about 48 years. He leaves a wife and seven children to mourn his death. 28 October 1863 A TRUANT HUSBAND AND A SHORT HONEYMOON. On last Tuesday evening, one GEORGE SHOFF, son of a former resident of this place, appeared before Rev. R. Morrow, in company with one SUSANNAH RAY, and desired that the Revd gentleman should unite them in the bonds of wedlock. While this was going on, the cars arrived, and with them MRS. ELIZABETH SHOFF, of Vincennes, Indiana, who claimed to be the lawfully wedded wife of the said GEORGE--and thereupon a warrant was issued for the arrest of the truant husband. --GEORGE was accordingly committed to the keeping of SHERIFF THOMPSON; and it is fair to presume that he will enjoy himself during the time of his expected honeymoon, in singing: "Oh, Susannah, don't you cry for me." MARRIED. SHEESLEY-MIKESELL. On the 15th inst., by Rev. C.L. Streamer, MR. ________ SHEESLEY, of Gaskill township, Jefferson county, to MISS RUTH MIKESELL, of Washington township, Indiana county. DICKASON [sic]-GREEN. On the 16th inst., by the same, MR. WM. DICKASON, of Washington township, Indiana county, to MISS ELIZABETH E. GREEN, of Cowanshannock township, Armstrong county, Pa. 4 November 1863 --------- 11 November 1863 MARRIED. ADAIR-MOORHEAD. On the 10th inst., by Rev. D. Blair, MR. JOSEPH ADAIR to MISS MARY MOORHEAD, daughter of A.T. MOORHEAD, ESQ., of White township. DIED. HILL. On Thursday, November 5th, 1863, at Old Town Hospital, West Virginia, of Chronic Diarrhoea, SAMUEL HILL, aged about 23 years, a member of Company G, 2nd Regt, Six months' Pa Vols. LOUGHERY. On Wednesday, 4th inst., in East Mahoning township, of Diptheria, MARY JANE LOUGHERY, aged 14 years, 9 months and 11 days. HENDERSON. In Saltsburg, on November 7, MRS. JANE, wife of D. HENDERSON, ESQ., aged about 40 years. ASKINE. On November 10, in Indiana, MRS. ______ ASKINE, wife of JOHN ASKINE, aged about 38 years. 18 November 1863 THEFT. On Monday night of last week, some scoundrel who has not the fear of the law before his eyes, broke into a small notion shop, kept by a lad named TEMPLETON, in the upper end of town, and stole everything he had. The lad has been endeavoring to aid his widowed mother; and the villain who would thus rob the needy, deserves only the most severe punishment. We trust the wretch may be caught and properly dealt with. THE GRAVE YARDS AT INDIANA. We were gratified a few weeks ago to learn that a movement was on foot to have the Presbyterian grave yard, in this town, properly enclosed. There seems, however, to be tardiness in commencing the work; and we have heard numerous complaints, recently, of the unbecoming condition of the place. There is also room for improvement in the grave yard adjoining the Academy. This carelessness in respect to the resting place of the dead does not reflect the highest commendation upon our citizens of their regards for deceased friends. We trust this matter will receive prompt and proper attention, and that our grave yards will be secured against the depradations of cattle and swine. In this connection, we may add: Perhaps the most proper steps that could be taken, would be to establish a Cemetery somewhere, at a short distance away from town, and have the bodies now lying in the respective grave yards removed to it. This should have been done long ago. The grave yards in town are already pretty well filled, and there is no room for extending them; and, to say least, it is undesirable to continue a burial ground in a locality where it is closely environed by places of residence, as is the case here. Besides, there are several excellent sites for a Cemetery, in the neighborhood, either of which might be purchased. Among these, if we may be allowed to make suggestions, is the piece of ground (some 15 or 18 acres) being a short distance south west from town, between the Warren and Jacksonville roads, where these road come together. It is a beautiful lot, surrounded by a good fence, and is easy of access by good public roads. Our people should take some decisive steps in this matter, before the available lots are sold for places of residence, and thus be greatly enhanced in price, should it be deemed expedient to purchase at some later period, without adding to their worth for this special purchase. MARRIED. CARLAND-SNYDER. On November 17, by Rev. J.P. Hentz, MR. JOHN W. CARLAND, of Altoona, to MISS MARGARET C. SNYDER, of White township, Indiana county. HAZLETT-CLARK. On Tuesday, Nov. 17, by Rev. A. M'Elwain, MR. SAMUEL M. HAZLETT, of Clarksburg, Indiana county, to MISS MARY L. CLARK, of the borough of Indiana. DIED. LOWER. Of Diptheria, on September 10, MARY ELIZABETH, aged 15 years; on September 25, SAMUEL, aged 17 years; on October 22, CATHARINE, aged 13 years; on November 2d, GEORGE, aged 9 years, and on November 14, JOHN A., aged about 6 years --children of PAUL AND SUSANNAH LOWER, of BRushvalley township, Indiana county. McBETH. On November 14, JAMES McBETH, of Cherryhill township, aged about 78 years. 25 November 1863 NARROW ESCAPE. On last Friday a week, MR. SAMUEL BRYAN, of White township, narrowly escaped being crushed. He was returning homeward from Cherrytree, and when approaching Two Lick bridge, two-and-a-half miles east of town, a large tree standing by the road side was blown down, falling partly on his wagon, only a few feet behind where he was sitting. The horses, observing the falling tree, started to run, and dashed across the bridge; when MR. BRYAN succeeded in getting them stopped. No damage was done, but the escape was very narrow. THE CEMETERY QUESTION. Since our remarks last week, urging the establishing of a Cemetery at this place, we are pleased to learn that measures are being adopted looking to the accomplishment of that purpose. MR. WILLIAM McCOY, the owner of the piece of ground to which we then referred, has signified his willingness to dispose of it for cemetery purposes; and a paper asking subscriptions for burial lots has already been circulated, and some forty lots subscribed for. It is the intention of MR. McCOY, as soon as fifty lots are taken, to at once proceed to laying out the grounds, (fifteen acres) in a tasteful and convenient manner, have a house erected for the occupancy of a warden, and to have the whole incorporated, so that it can only be used for the legitimate purposes for which it is set apart. MESSRS WHITE AND CARTER gave notice (see card) of their intention to open a Cemetery, eastward from town. The proposed site is a beautiful and suitable one, and the streets and lanes which will be opened up to it, will render it easy of access from all points. Its fine growth of forest trees, when the place is once properly laid out and arranged, will add very much to its picturesqueness and utility. It is a fine location, and affords an excellent view. The question is now fairly before the people, and is receiving favorable attention, and, we hope, for the credit of community, that it will be pressed with vigor and brought to a successful issue. Objection is sometimes raised as to the distance to a cemetery away from town. This is just why we urge the matter. In the heart of a town is no place to bury the dead--sepulcher should be had away from the immediate vicinity of residences and places of business. Let not, therefore, the distance of a mile from the center of town be urged as an objection to the establishing a Cemetery. But, we also urge that some feasible plan be adopted. We think an association should be formed and fully organized; a rate of shares established; and proposals for a site received; the purchase, improvement, and management of the whole, to be entrusted to an efficient Board of Directors, or Trustees. It is only by the adoption of some such plan that we can hope to have a satisfactory organization, and the accomplishment of the desired results. MARRIED. BELL-YODER. In Altoona, on the 19th by Rev. Mills, of Baltimore, DR. WALTER BELL, of Summitville, Cambria county, to MISS CELIA YODER, of Altoona. 2 December 1863 DIED. McHENRY. On Sunday, November 29, 1863, in White township, this county, of Diptheria, JOHN McHENRY, aged about 8 years. SHAFFER. A correspondent in Comp A, 61st PV, writes us the death, on Nov. 22d, at Brandy Station, Va., of WILLIAM SHAFFER, a member of that company, aged about 30 years. MR. SHAFFER was one of the few remaining original members of the company and was highly esteemed by his comrades, who deeply mourn his death. --He died of typhoid fever. COMMITTED. On last Wednesday, CONSTABLE JOHN McGUIRE, of Cherryhill township, brough to town, and lodged in jail, WILLIAM ALLEN, of the above township, charged with assault and battery on the person of his wife. --He also assaulted his mother-in-law with a wagon whip, with the butt end of which he dealt her several blows upon the head, causing serious injury. The old lady lay insensible for some time after being struck --but we learn she is recovering. MAJOR HARRY WHITE. We see it stated in the daily papers that MAJOR HARRY WHITE, was down to City Point, a few days ago, with our Surgeon from Richmond, who were sent to that place for exchange, and that COMMISSIONER OULD was telegraphed to and directed to return him to Richmond, which was done. If the report be true, the boldness of the attempt to escape, and its almost successful issue, is certaintly one of the strange and thrilling incidents of "this cruel war." It is a source of regret to all the friends of MAJ. WHITE that he did not achieve his freedom, after having made so hazardous an attempt. Aside from our desire, personally, to have MAJ. WHITE restored to his liberty, we would call, in view of his position as State Senator, his exchange, or release with especial delight. We trust the day is not far distant when he will be restored to his home, and the service of his state and the county at large. 9 December 1863 SHOT. We are informed that a MR. McLAUGHLIN, at Cherrytree, about two weeks ago shot a large black Bear, near that place. --"Bruin" weighed 304 pounds. MR. McL. realized some $17 from the sale of the oil extracted from the carcass. 16 December 1863 MARRIED. ARMSTRONG-FARREN. On December 13th, 1863, by the Rev. J.P. Hentz, MR. ROBERT ARMSTRONG, of Armstrong township, to MISS MOLLIE A. FARREN, of Washinton township, Indiana county. RALSTON-MYERS. On the 15th inst., by Rev. B. Morrow, MR. JOHN RALSTON to MISS CATHARINE J.

ALEXANDER WALKER, to MISS HANNAH ROW, all of Rayne township. BOTHELL-SMITH. By Rev. J.P. Hentz, on December 24, at the residence of the bride's mother, MR. DANIEL BOTHELL, of Rayne township, to MISS CATHARINE SMITH, of Indiana. DIED. GRAY. On December 27, WILLIAM GRAY, of Conemaugh, Cambria county, aged 27 years. INJURED. On last Thursday, afternoon, MR. JOHN CARSON, of this place, while working about the machinery in the planing mill, had one of his hands severely lacerated by its being drawn under the planes while in motion. No bones were broken, but the hand is seriously, and perhaps permanently, injured.
