CAPTAIN JACOB CREPS, and some twenty men, of Co A, 61st P>V>, returned home on last Friday, their term of enlistment having expired. They looked remarkably well. We welcome them to their homes. A DESERTER CAUGHT. On last Saturday morning, CONSTABLE JOHN McGUIRE, of Cherryhill township, arrested one DAVID DONAHUE, of that township, a deserter from the 67th PV--DONAHUE had come home on sick furlough, but failed to return to his regiment. He will now be returned, however, with the stigma of desertion attaching [sic] to him. He was brought to town, and committed to jail until Monday morning, when he will be taken to Greensburg by CAPT. JOHNSTON. A DESERTER SHOT. GEORGE ACKISON, of White township, a deserter from the US Army, was shot, and seriously wounded, on last Saturday, by JAMES McCAULY, a detective. It appears that McCAULY was out looking for ACKISON, and met him on the road, near the residence of the latter's father, and called him to halt, --at the same time informing him of his business. ACKISON started to run, and was again called upon several times to halt; but he kept on running. --McCAULY then fired upon him. Four shots were fired--but the fugitive continued to run, and reached the house. --When McCAULY got to the house he learned that he had hit ACKISON in the hip, and that he was badly wounded. McCAULY at once procured the services of DR. ST. CLAIR for the alleviation of the sufferings of the wounded man. The case has been reported to the Provost Marshall of this District. DESERTED. An unknown woman, professing to reside in Hollidaysburg, came to this place on last Thursday evening, on the cars, having with her a male child of some twelve months of age. She stopped at BENFORD'S Exchange Hotel, and retured at an early hour. --On Friday morning she arose and left the house without paying her vill, and took the train for "parts unknown," however, leaving begind her, lying upon the floor of the chamber she occupied, her child, which was not discovered until, perhaps, an hour-and-a-half after the departure of the train. The child was in a most filthy and distressing condition, bearing marks of violence upon its face and arms, as if it had been subjected to very harsh and cruel treatment. MRS. BENFORD took charge of it and had it cared for. The extreme quietness of the child was remarked by everyone who saw it. For several hours at a time it sat perfectly quiet upon a child's little chair, disregarding the attentions of the other children who were playing about it. The peculiarity, couple with the fact that afterward it ventured to play, and once when receiving a fall upon the floor to cry but for a moment, suggested the idea that the little fellow was entirely under subjection, through fear. Nothing has been learned of the heartless mother; and the child has been given over to the Overseer of the Poor. DIED. WOLF. On the 31st August 1864, MARGARETTA, aged 14 years, 6 months and 6 days --On September 7th, WILLIAM, aged 3 years, 10 months and 11 days. On September 9th, ELEANOR, aged 10 years, 6 months and 15 days, all children of GEORGE AND MARINDA WOLF, of Rayne township, Indiana county, Penna. 21 September 1864 THANKS. REV. D. MILLS, of Montgomery township, will please accept our thanks for a quantity of Stowel and Mexican corn. These are excellent varieties for table use. MR. MILLS is an enterprising farmer, and never forgets to bestow a compliment upon his friend--the printer. 28 September 1864 LIST OF DRAFTED MEN IN INDIANA COUNTY.

He had prepared himself for, and was soon to enter upon, the duties of the ministry, in the Presbyterian church. In his death society loses an excellent member, and the church a devoted and zealous laborer. 5 October 1864 MARRIED. HOFFMAN-COCHRAN. On Thursday, September 29th, by Rev. J.P. Hentz, G. FRANK HOFFMAN and MISS N. JENNIE COCHRAN, all of this place. We wish our young friends a long and prosperous life; when years shall have crowned their age, may they be enabled to look back upon that life with the consciousness of its having been well spent in uprightness and peace. DIED. WILSON. At the residence of REV. I.M. McELROY, Ottomna City, Iowa, September 30, 1864, MATTHEW WILSON, JR., of this borough, aged 35 years. "OFF THE TRACK." On last Thursday, MR. HENRY FAITH, of Rayne township, came to town with a two-horse wagon, to attend to some business. Toward evening he started home again, having a pretty good "load on." As he approached the bridge at th tsae eend of town, he "goo-ed" a little too far, throwing both horses over the bridge, into the water: and the wagon--the two right wheels of which ran off the bridge--and the driver narrowly escaped being mixed up in the water with the horses. After considerable floudering about, the horses were rescued. The wagon was unloaded, and set upon "all fours." HENRY "couldn't see how the d----d thing got in there;" and as no one else did see, the cause of the accident remains a mystery. Nobody nor nothing was hurt, and HENRY went home rejoicing over his rescued team, and his own narrow escape from inundation. [LIST OF THE 26TH REGIMENT PV] 12 October 1864 DIED OF CHESTNUTS. An aged man, named SYKES, of White township, on Saturday last ate freely of Chestnuts, from the effects of which he died on Sunday. BROKE HIS LEG. GEORGE WORKINGER, of Cherryhill township, fell off a chestnut tree, on last Saturday, and broke his leg, and was otherwise internally, injured. BARNS BURNED. On Tuesday night, of last week, two barns of MR. ROBERT WIGGINS, of White township, were destroyed by fire, --evidently the work of an incendiary. MR. WIGGINS had all his crops in the Barns, and had just threshed out a quantity of Buckwheat, which was still lying on the threshing floor, all which were consumed. The loss is heavy. While the family were out at the Barns, trying to rescue whatever they could, some villains-- perhaps the incendiaries--entered the house and stole therefrom a quantity of good clothing, and other articles. A little box, containing the Deeds, and other papers, relating to the estate of the late JAMES COULTER, deceased, were also stolen. The box, minus the papers has since been found. THANKS. MR. O.C. BRADY, of East Mahoning township, will please accept our thanks for a quantity of very superior grapes and apples. MR. BRADY is an enterprising farmer. MARRIED. STEFFY-STEFFY. On October 6, by Rev. J.B. Empfield, MR. HENRY A. STEFFY and MISS ADALINE STEFFY, both of East Mahoning township. McNEEL-SIMPSON. On the 6th October, by Rev. M.W. Dallas, JOSEPH McNEEL and MISS SARAH SIMPSON, all of Indiana county. DIED. WHITE. In the City of Baltimore, on the morning of the 8th inst., of Dyptheria [sic], HERMAN, son of COL. RICHARD AND CATHARINE WHITE, aged about 13 years. The deceased was a bright and promising lad. Although so young, he enjoyed the friendship of all--as well that of the aged as of his companions. His demise is a severe affliction to his parents, and will long be thought of with regret by his associates. His remains were brought to this place on Monday evening, and interred in the family Vault. 19 October 1864 BURNED DOWN. The stable attached to the Market House, owned by MR. WILLIAM EVANS, in Blairsville, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday night of last week. The fire was the work of an incendiary. A man bearing several aliases, who had been in the employ of MR. EVANS, has been arrested and committed to prison as the incendiary. It is stated that he had previously made threats to burn the property. OYSTERS. As an esculent these bivalvular testaceous animals are greatly prized in many countries. They are deemed nourishing and delicious food. And we fully agree with this general opinion. Last week MR. JAMES ANDERSON, our worthy saloon keeper, sent us a can of very fine oysters, for which he will please accept our thanks. We advise our friends to call at Mr. Anderson's, near the Indiana House, Indiana, Penna., and try them. MARRIED. SNYDER-ROSS. On the 6th inst., by Rev. C.L. Streamer, MR. ISRAEL SNYDER, and MISS MARY J. ROSS, both of Washington township, Indiana county. FOREMAN-MOLEBERGER. On September 12th, 1864, by Rev. J.P. Hentz, MR. MOSES FOREMAN and MISS RACHEL A. MOLEBERGER, both of Indiana county, Penna. DIED. AUL. In Armory Square Hospital, Washington, D.C., on the 30th September, of Chronic Diarrhoea, JAMES AUL, of East Mahoning township, Indiana, county, aged about 26 years. MR. AUL entered the service in 1861, in Co. F, 105th PV, and was wounded in the 7 days fight before Richmond in 1862. At the time of his death, he was a member of Co. H, 1st Regt., VRC. HOWARD. In this place, on Monday morning last, MRS. MARGARET HOWARD, daughter of the late JAMES McLAIN, in the 63d year of her age. She was ill only a few days. A short time since she was seized with hemmorhage of the lungs, followed by diarrhoea from which her death ensued. 26 October 1864 -- 2 November 1864 [long list of exemptions from the draft] LARGE POTATOES. MR. OLIVER C. BRADY of East Mahoning Township, left at our office, this week, eight of the finest looking potatoes we have even seen. These eight potatoes, in bulk, measured nearly a peck; their weight is above ten pounds. MR. BRADY has our thanks fro this compliment offered upon us. WOUNDED. The following Indiana county boys were wounded in General Sheridan's great battle on the 19th ult., near Strasburg. --JOHN COLGAN, JOHN ABAY, JOHN FLEMING, AND JEREMIAH T. SEBRING. None of these are wounded seriously, unless, perhaps, JOHN ABAY, who was shot through the leg. ADJUTANT JOHN F. YOUNG had a hole shot through the leg of his pantaloons, and had another shot upon the spur, a large steel one, which was on his foot at the time. OIL IN INDIANA COUNTY. --Some years since, DR. CUMMISKEY, of this county, while fishing on the Mahoning Creek, in company with several others, at night, snuffed his candle into the creek, the surface of which immediately blazed up, and drove the party from the spot. A geologist from Philadelphia, now in Indiana, is giving the region a thorough exploration, and his examination thus far leaves [sic] him to think it is an oil bearing region. We are informed that during the coming winter the formation along the dividing ridge will be subjected to strict survey and analysis. A well has already been commenced. The enterprise is in the hands of a company of Philadephia capitalists. [list of Co F 208th Regt PV] MARRIED. GUTHRIE-DONALDSON. At Eldersridge, Indiana county, by Rev. Alexander Donaldson, on Thursday, October 18th, MR. J.M. GUTHRIE, ESQ., of Jacksonville, to MISS ANNA M. DONALDSON, of Eldersridge. 9 November 1864 FARM FOR SALE. I offer, to sell an improved farm, adjoining the village of Covode, Indiana county, containing one hundred and twenty three acres--some seventy or eighty acres of which are cleared. Underlying the tract is a good body of limestone. For further particulars apply to, or address, the subscriber. JOHN GOURLEY, Covode, Penna., November 9, 1864. APPLES. REV. D. MILLS, on last Friday, presented to our workmen a bushel of very fine Rambo apples--for which favor they desire us to return their grateful thanks. "The boys" pronounce MR. MILLS a generous and worthy man, --and we join them in that opinion. KILLED. JAMES J. MARSHALL, son of WILLIAM MARSHALL, of Clarksburg, this county, was killed on the Penna railroad, on Wednesday night, 2d inst. The first Freight Express east, broke couplings near Beaty's station, coming down grade, and the detached part of the train ran into the other breaking two cars loaded with hogs, into fragments, causing dreadful havoc, and crashing MR. MARSHALL, a brakeman upon one of the broken cars. He was aged about 25 years. He served three years in Co E 11th PRC; was wounded once, and was at one time a prisoner for forty days. He was a worthy young man, and his death is a sad bereavement to his friends. DIED. WOLF. On Monday, 7th inst., at his residence in Rayne township, GEORGE WOLF, aged 44 years and 3 months. MR. W. was an estimable man --and, although he occupied a humble sphere in life, he was well known, and greatly beloved and respected.

During the past week the mud in our streets has been excessive--in fact, everything seems to be covered with mud. However, we observe that several of our citizens residing, or doing business, adjacent to some of our principal street-crossings, have had the mud scraped off the said crossings, daily, so as to keep them in passable condition. This is commendable; and we trust the practice will be continued. OBITUARY. CARUTHERS. Departed from this life on Sabbath, November 20th, 1864, after years of protracted and painful debility, MRS. SOPHIA HUSTON CARUTHERS, wife of REV. JOHN CARUTHERS, of East Mahoning township, Indiana county. --The deceased was the daugther of HAMILTON AND MARY HUSTON; and was born in April, 1803, on the farm in the immediate vicinity of Washinton, Pa., known as the Huston farm. She lost her father in 1809, and was thenceforth reared under the careful instruction of her pious mother; and under the influence of the instruction she received, she developed a character of great excellence. In the year 1828 she obtained a hope in Christ, and made a profession of religion--a profession to which she afterward adhered during all her life with great consistency. On the 24th of March, 1840, she was married, and immediately afterwards, removed with her husband to the field of his labors in the ministry of the gospel. The field was in Indiana county, Pa., where she has spent the remainder of her days. There she has, for nearly twenty five yeras, exerted herself, with wonderful self-denial and untiring assiduity, to enable her husband to fulfill his ministry. In the year 1844 her health failed her, and ever since then she has been for the greater part of her time a sufferer, (and oftentimes her sufferings have been most excruciating,) but her steadiness of purpose in the work of her life, never gave way while life still endured. --She loved the Sabbath school and Prayer meeting; she loved the interests of the church in all their bearings; revivals of religion filled her heart with unspeakable joy. She was intensely interested in the present eventful times as inducting the speedy coming of the Millenium [sic]. To her view the wars and rumors of wars that agitate our own and other countries are but the stately stepping of the Almighty, moving on triumphantly in straitening [sic] the nations; and she looked forward to the issues as certain and transforming--and she greatly desired to live that she might witness these happy issues. She was a woman of unswerving moral integrity, and of deep, yet ostentatious, religious feelings, and of great liberality in benevolent givings; she had a strong faith, and was instant in prayer. But she is gone. Her departure was very peaceful--just such as might be expected after such a life. Four hours, before the closing scene, she said: "I have delightful views--most delightful. I can look over the Jordan and realize the attractive glories of heaven. --The world has no hold on me now. And I owe it all to him that loved me and washed me from my sins in his blood." And afterward, when some of Bobell's collection of hymns were read in her hearing, she would say: "How beautiful; how expressive. I can realize every thought." She sweetly breathed her life away about 10 o'clock on Sabbath morning. "Hear what the voice of heaven proclaims To all the pious dead: Sweet is the saviour of their names And soft their sleepless bed. They die in Jesus, and are blest-- How calm their slumbers are-- From suffering and from pain released, And free from every snare." (Com.) 7 December 1864 DIED. CANNON. On the 11th of October, at his residence in New Brighton, beaver county, WILLIAM CANNON, aged about 66 years. COLEMAN. On the 28th November, MRS. LIZZIE, wife of T. MOREHEAD COLEMAN, of this place, aged 23 years. The deceased was married but a few months. Her death resulted from a fall she received from a buggy a short time previous, by which she sustained injuries about her head and person. Truly: "In the midst of life we are in death." LOST. On Sabbath evening last, between the Presbyterian Church and Wissel's Hotel, a fine Black Veil. The finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving it at this office. LIGHT! Most of our hotel-keepers, have recently adopted the measure of hanging out large lanterns, with bright lights in them, before their houses, on dark nights, thus enabling pedestrians to move about with greater freedom and safety. This practice is a good one--we trust it will become more general. We can assure our friends of the Inns, that those who are our o'nights award them many thanks for their kindness and forethought. 14 December 1864. DIED. VOGEL. In Indiana, on Tuesday monring, MARY FRANCISCA, daughter of PAUL AND HELENA VOGEL, aged about two and a half years. LIGAT. On the 9th of December, 1864, of Consumption, JULIA ANN LIGAT, daughter of WILLIAM AND MARY LIGAT, of Centreville, this county, aged 34 years, 4 months and 8 days. 21 December 1864 DIED. McLAIN. On Monday, 19th inst., of Consumption, CAROLINE McLAIN, aged about 16 years. 28 December 1864 PROMOTED. MAJOR HARRY WHITE AND ADJUTANT JOHN F. YOUNG, of the 67th PV, have each been promoted--the former to the Lieutenant Coluncy [sic], and the latter to the Majorship, of said regiment. [ENROLLMENT FROM INDIANA BOROUGH--a long list]
