McCARDELL. At his residence in Indiana, on Sabbath, Sept. 3d, DAVID McCARDELL, aged about 70 years. AT HOME. Companies B and F 74th PV arrives at this place on Tuesday, the 5th inst., at noon. The "boys" look well, and, no doubt, they are glad to get back--and equally glad are their friends to welcome their return. MUSTERED OUT. The 55th Pa. Regt., composed of troops from Indiana, Cambria, Berks, Dauphin and Franklin counties, was mustered out last week at Harrisburg. This will be welcome news to the friends of the "boys" in this county. WHO STOLE THE HOG? On last Saturday night, some one, evidently a professor in the art, committed a most daring theft in this place. MR. M.F. JAMISON had in his sty a large hog, of about 250 pounds weight, which was driven away, leaving no trace of the direction of his mysterious disappearance. The question is, who stole the hog? We suggest that he make a detailed report to the Agricultural Society of his method of procuring a superior quality of pork; such a report would be interesting, and perhaps profitable to the public. 13 September 1865 FATALLY KICKED BY A HORSE. On last Sabbath, MR. ALLISON LOUGHRY, residing near Blairsville, while in the act of hitching a horse to a buggy, in order to go to church, was kicked on the back of the head by the animal, injuring him to such an extent as to cause his death on Monday. DANGEROUSLY INJURED. On Tuesday, during the progress of the government sale of mules at this place, MR. JAMES FARSHOE, of White township, while assisting to catch some of the mules, was kicked in the side by one of the animals, doing him serious injury. MR. F. still survives, but is in a critical condition. SCALDED. On last Wednesday, a little son, only child of MR. J.W. HILL, editor of The American, of this place, was severely scalded about the head and body, resulting in death the following day. MRS. HILL had a kettle of soap over the fire, boiling, which, by some means the child upset, with the above effect. We condole with MR. AND MRS. HILL on account of the sad affliction which has thus fallen upon them. Painful and sad as was his demise, this "little one" has entered upon sternal joys. MARRIED. SICKENBERGER-PUTT. On Thursday, September 7th, by F.C. Weaver, Esq., H.C. SICKENBERGER to MISS CATHARINE PUTT, all of Cherryhill township, Indiana county. THOMAS-SAMPLE.

On the 15th inst., at the residence of her son, in Indiana, MRS. NANCY KIMMELL [sic], aged about 62 years. A NICE BUNCH OF PEARS. On last Friday MRS. ______ ALTMAN, of this place, sent to our office a pear-tree twig, some three feet in length, and bearing five dozen well developed pears, of one of the fall varieties. The lady will please accept out thanks for the compliments conferred. May her pear-tree continue to bloom and bear as the seasons return, and may she live to a good old age to enjoy its rich fruit. 27 September 1865 ------- 4 October 1865 ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. WILLIAM HAMILTON, of Westmoreland county, residing near Latrobe, on Friday last, was mortally wounded by the accidental discharge of a gun which he was about to clean. The shot took effect in the throat, horribly mutilating him, and causing his death the same evening. He had been a member of the old 11th Regiment PV and had lost one leg in the service. MARRIED. LOWRY-WORK. On the 27th of September, 1865, at the residence of the bride's father, by Rev. Caruthers, MR. DANIEL LOWRY, of Indiana, Pa., and MISS SOPHIA E. WORK, of East Mahoning township, Indiana county, Pa. BENCE-EVERWINE. On the 28th of September, 1865. by Rev. M. Colver, at the residence of the bride, MR. JAMES BENCE AND MISS ROSANNA EVERWINE, both of Rayne township, Indiana county, Pa. Accompanying the above notice we receive a piece of the wedding cake, for which we tender our thanks to the happy couple, and wish them a life serene and a happiness unalloyed. LINTON-MYERS. On the 4th inst., at the residence of the bride's mother, in Indiana, Pa., by the Rev. A.C. Ehrenfeld, CAPT. WM. LINTON, of Richmond, Va., and MISS ELIZA MYERS. Happy couple! May the choisest [sic] of earthly blessings, cluster around your pathway. To CAPT. LINTON we tender our warmest thanks for the generous compliment sent us--and his fair bride will please accept our hearty congratulations that her worth has gained her so worthy a conquest. Long may they both live. 11 October 1865 FRACTURED. A little son of MR. PETER ISENBURG, of White township, aged about 4 years, fell over an embankment, a few days ago, fracturing one of the bones of the elbow. The little sufferer, we learn, is improving. > SERIOUSLY INJURED. On last Thursday, 5th inst., WILLIAM McLANAHAN, formerly of this place, and JOHN WATERSON, were out duck hunting, on Crooked creek, near South Bend, ARmstrong county, and while ascending an embankment the latter's gun was accidentally discharged, severely wounding M'LANAHAN in the thigh. He is doing well. ASSAULT AND BATTERY. We learn that a man named HAZLETT committed a violent assault and battery on MR. WM. STUCHEL (DEAF BILLY, as he is favorably known,) of White township, on last Thursday. We know nothing of the provocation which led to the act. Usually MR. S. is a quiet, inoffensive man. The injury inflicted is quite serious--a large gash having been cut in the scalp, across the top of the head. The matter will, in all probability, come up for a hearing at next Term of the Quarter Session for Indiana county. MARRIED. CARNEY-MILLER. On the 3d instant, by Rev. A. McElwain, CRAIG CARNEY, of White township, to MISS PAULINA MILLER, of this borough. DEFFENDOFFER-WISE. September 21st, by Rev. S. Furman, MR. HENRY DEFFENDOFFER and MISS ELEANOR E.

Reed, B.K. JAMISON and MISS HATTIE A. HOLMES, all of Philadelphia. We tender our warmest congratulations to the happy couple. The lady has manifested wisdom by taking so large an interest in the Banking House of P.F. Kelly and Co., and the gentleman has undoubtedly drawn a capital prize, more valuable than gold, on his investment in home securities. We wish them a long and prosperous life. DIED. MARK. In Montgomery township, Indiana county, of Liver Complaint, MOSES C. MARK, aged 57 years, 5 months and 9 days. KINTER. In Indiana, on Tuesday morning, Oct. 10, MRS. MARTHA KINTER, wife of F.M.

In Saltsburgh, at 8 o'clock, p.m., WEdnesday, October 11, 1865, GEORGE H. MYERS, aged 40 years, 1 month and 24 days. The deceased was a prominent and influential citizen of Saltsburgh, was exemplary as a gentleman, and a most worthy member of the Methodist church of that place. He was liberal and kind, and contributed cheerfully and freely to every good work. His family, a wife, and five children-- have sustained an irreparable loss in his demise, for he was an indulgent parent and fond husband. His funeral was conducted by the Masonic and Odd Fellows fraternities, of which he was a member. Peaceful be his rest. SIMONS. In Brushvalley township, on the morning of the 11th inst., after a lingering illness, MARTHA L., daugther of JOHN B. AND CATHEREN E. SIMONS, aged 18 years, 7 months and 24 days.

DANIEL LEANDER, residing in Washington township, raised some large cabbages this season, one of which weighed seventeen pounds. 8 November 1865 A GOOD SALE. Last week MR. CHARLES GOMPERS, living adjacent to this place, sold seven head of horses, two 4-years old, one 3-years old, and four 2-years old for the sum of $1,400. MR. G. is one of our most enterprising farmers and stock growers, and this large sale is a just compliment to him. We should be pleased to see more of our farmers do equally as well. SINGING CLASS. STeps are in progress for the raising of a singing class in this place. The several churches are acting in the matter. A committee from each of the congreagtions, to procure funds, was appointed at a preliminary meeting on Mnoday evening, as follows: WM. EWING, JAMES FENTON, W.T. WILSON, DR. H. ROW, WILLIAM ROW, DR. R. BARR. MR. S.A.B. FARRINGTON, of Maine, is to be the instructor. It is hoped the measure will succeed. One committee, in a single day, raised $90. MARRIED. HELMAN-MEYERS. On the 2d inst., by A.C.

Peace to his manes [sic]. 22 November 1865 FIXING UP. MR. JAMES S. RALSTON is fixing up the "Indiana House" in good style. He has had the house refitted inside, and is now engaged painting it outwardly, giving it quite a fine appearance and rendering it pleasant and attractive. By the way, JIM keeps quite a good house, where travelers and sojourners will find superior accomodations. MARRIED. COLEMAN-MOORE. On teh 16th ult., by Rev. A. McElwaine, J.M. COLEMAN, ESQ., to MISS MARY J. MOORE, both of this borough. DIED. ROW. On Sunday morning, 19th inst., in this borough, ETTIE MINIAM [SIC], daughter of AUGUSTUS AND MARY J. ROW, aged 1 year and 29 days. "Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." 29 November 1865 STEALING A BEE. Some ten nights ago a valuable "bee" was stolen, from the farm of MR. NATHAN HILANDS, of White township. The scap was worth $12 or $15, being well filled with choice honey. It is a great pity that the bees did not sting the thief or thieves most effectually, and a still greater pity that the perpetrators of the villainy go undiscovered. But look ahead, their "sin will find them out" yet, one of these days. ANOTHER FIRE--SUPPOSED INCENDARISM. About nine o'clock last Saturday night, the Brewery and Stable of MR. JOHN ROGNER, in the north-east part of this place, was discovered to be on fire. Our citizens assembled promptly, and many of them worked energetically to check the progress of the flames. The fire burned fiercely, and soon envelooped the buildings named, consuming them, and almost their entire contents. Among the property burned were a horse, valued at $100, and a cow, worth at least $50; many beer kegs and the entire brewing apparatus, a lot of malt, some fifty bushels corn, 150 bushels coal, potatoes, and garden vegetables, hay, etc., amounting in value to about $600. The buildings destroyed were worth perhaps $1,500. The dwelling house, between which and the brewery only some ten or twelve feet of space intervened, was considerably damaged--mostly by the wild and inconsiderate acts of those who labored zealously, as they thought to save the property. The damage to the house, by the fire, is but trifling -- but the doors broken off, windows smashed in, perishable articles such as clocks, glasses, crockery, etc., thrown violently out upon the ground to be trampled by the throwing of people on every side, amounts to quite a handsome sum: appraised by an insurance company at $300. Summing up the whole amount destroyed and damaged, and MR. ROGNER'S loss cannot fall short of $2,550. It is believed the fire was the work of an incendiary, it being first discovered in a part of the stable in which were packed a number of barrels and boxes. MR. ROGNER hd fed his stock as usual in the evening, and left the premises all right. When the fire broke out, he was up town, and his family, except his wife, had already retired for the night. The "inevitable" engine came on the ground when the buildings were fully half burned, and by dexterous management was successfully brought into action, and constituted the ultimate means of saving the house, which, however, had been protected through the most trying ordeal, by individual efforts, with buckets. Thus we have another warning added, reminding us of the importance and necessity of providing a suitable fire apparatus, and organising fire companies from among the vigorous and energetic men of our place. If we continue heedless of these warnings we must expect some of these days to witness the sad spectacle of our town in ruins. It is wisdom to prepare against such possible danger. JAUNDICE. For some weeks Jaundice has been prevalent in this locality. It is epidemic in character, and partakes of both the yellow and black types of htis disease. Many cases have proved fatal. All the varied indispositions to which persons are usually subject at this season of the year, are prone to culminate in this malady. Therefore, too great care cannot be observed by all classes of persons, in the matter of their general habits and close attention to their diet. In this, as in many other cases, "an ounce of preventative may be worth a pound of cure." MARRIED. WILLETT-M'KELVY. On the 19th inst., by Henry STrong, Esq., MR. HORATIO F. WILLETT, to MISS EMILY M'KELVY, all of Strongstown, Indiana county, Pa. 6 December 1865 -------- 13 December 1865 MARRIED. BRYAN-WIGGINS. On the 5th inst., at the Indiana House, by Rev. Wm. Fulton, MR. HENRY BRYAN and MISS MAGGIE WIGGINS, both of White township. FISSINGER [sic]-McKISSON. On the 6th inst., by Rev. G.M. Settlemozer [sic], MR. JOSIAH RISSINGER [sic], of Philadelphia, and MISS MARGARET McKISSON, of Homer, Pa. 20 December 1865 INJURED. An employee of MR. DETWILER, of this place, on last Monday received considerable injury, by being thrown violently from a wagon, upon the ground. He was driving a span of spirited horses, which took fright, and ran away with him. In turning a corner of the street he was thrown off the wagon, and becoming entangled, was dragged some distance. HEAVY PORK. On Monday last, two large hogs were slaughtered in this place--one by MR. J.F. McCLAIN, weighing 465 3/4 pounds, and one by MR. B. WEHELE, weighing 410 pounds. Quite a big guessing match, at a "quarter" a guess, on the weight of the carcass, was evoked by the sight of MR. McCLAIN'S "pig." The purse thus gotten up, netted $14,25; and the guesses ranged from 419 to 520 pounds. MESSRS ROBERT THOMPSON AND SAMUEL A. SMITH were the fortunate competitors for the prize. MARRIED. REED-EBY. On the 25th of October by Judge C.E. Irwin, MR. CHARLES B. REED, formerly of White township, this county, to MISS MARY EBY, of Deer lodge City, M.T. [sic] 27 December 1865 BADLY HURT. On last Monday evening, CAPT. MARSHALL, conductor of one of the passenger trains of the Indiana Branch Railroad, was very seriously hurt about the head and face, by being thrust against a car standing on the "siding," at the Intersection. He was upon the steps of one of his own cars, and in the act of directing the disposition of his train, when he was brought into violent contact with the car, as stated, which had been left too near the main track, upon which the train was running. It seems truly surprising that he escaped with the wounds he received. He is moving about but appears considerably the worse on account of the "collision." We trust he may soon be enabled to resume his post. MARRIED. McLAIN-REYNOLDS. On the 20th inst., at the residence of the bride's uncle, JUDGE BROWNLEE, in Poland, Ohio, by the Rev. A.S. McMasters, MR. JOHN McLAIN, of this place, to MISS C. JANE REYNOLDS, of Bedford, Pa. Two and a half dollars (currency) accompanied the above notice, for which we return our sincere thanks. We congratulate the happy pair upon their new relation, and wish them a long and pleasant life, full of usefulness and prosperity. DIED. AMOND. On the 20th inst., in Cherryhill township, JOHN EDLSWORTH [sic], son of L.J. AND BARBARA AMOND, aged 1 year and 4 months. Now still and cold beneath the mould Our darling baby lies: And sad we weep, that deaths [sic] cold sleep Has so led his loving eyes. WEAMER. On the 19th inst., in Newville, CHARLOTT B., daughter of DAVID AND ELIZABETH WEAMER, aged 3 years, 2 months and 26 days. [VERSE] ROW. On the 12th inst., in Wooster, Ohio, after a severe and protracted illness, MARTIN ROW, in the 69th year of his age. The deceased was born in Northumberland County, Pa., August 1797. He emigrated with his family to the town of Wooster in 1840, where with the most of his family he has resided ever since. He was educated and brought up in the Lutheran Church. In 1850, he was immersed and united with the Christian Church of this place, with which Church he held an honorable connection till he departed from among us. He was a man inflexible in principle, retired and unobtrusive in his manners, of few words, but deep feelings and profound thought. He was a sincere and devout friend, a dutiful and conscientious citizen, and affectionate and kind-hearted husband, and eminently solicitous for the welfare of his children. He leaves behind him in sacred and grateful remembrance, the wife of his youth and seven grown up children. Our father was ready to depart and be with Christ. His end was peace. "Dear is the spot where Christians sleep, And sweet the strains their spirits pour: O, why should we in anguish weep? They are not lost, but gone before." --Wooster Republican Franklin. (The above deceased was a brother to MR. JONATHAN ROW, formerly the editor of this paper. As one of kin, we mourn his demise. He has passed the confines of mortality, we trust to put an immortality in that better world beyond the sea of death. May he rest in peace. --Ed.)
