BENFORD, of Johnstown, formerly of this place, is among those badly injured at the Johnstown catastrophe of last Friday. He was bent down, in the fall, and other persons fell upon him, severely injuring him in the back; and so excessive was the pressure which bore down upon him, that his eyes are so much "bloodshot" as to literally resemble large clots of blood. He is unable to help himself, but the prospects of his recovery are considered favorable. 26 September 1866 FIRES IN MARION. On last Friday morning, about 4 o'clock, the Marion Foundry in the village of Marion, and a considerable quantity of castings and patterns, belonging to MR. THOMAS DUNCAN, was entirely destroyed by fire. The fire was first discovered in the loft, at the end of the building opposite the cupola, and rain was falling at the time, so that the indications are strong that the fire was the work of an incendiary. On the evening of the same day, about 9 1/2 o'clock, the dwelling house of MR. HUGH S. THOMPSON, in the same village, was discovered on fire. The building, and some household furniture, was consumed. The house had not been occupied since the 28th of August last, and the fire is attributed to incendarism. DIED. LANEY. On the 10th inst., in Green township, NORMAN GALVESTON, infant son of JOHN AND BELLA LANEY, aged 3 months and 10 days. 3 October 1866 MARRIED. KERNEY-CRIBBS.

DUBRE THOMAS, of White township, left at our office a potato weighing 3 pounds and 1 1/2 ounces. It is of the "Lay-over" species, and is a tuber of ecentric growth. The main or original potato is 9 1/2 inches long by 7 1/2 inches in circumference, having upon it seven protruberances, each of which would form a very nice potato, and upon two of these protruberances are still four others, nearly equal in size with the first. Taken altogether, its dimensions and formation renders it an object of some interest. MARRIED. HERBRIDGE-GOSS. By Rev. M. Colver October 14th, at the residence of the bride's parents, MR. ROBERT HERBRIDGE, to MISS CATHERINE GOSS, both of Indiana county, Pa. 24 October 1866 MARRIED. NESBITT-TRUBY. On October 18th, by Rev. J.C. Green, CAPT. W.W.

STEWART, of Brushvalley township, Indiana county, upon a charge of passing counterfeit U.S. Fractional Currency, went to the Jury, at the session of the U.S. Court at Pittsburgh, and after a few hours deliberation, a verdict of guilty was rendered.

GEORGE SHILLITO, of Greenville, Cherryhill township, this county, has sent us a potato of his raising, which weighs three and three fourths pounds--being about eleven ounces heavier than the one raised by MR.

STEWART, of Mechanicsburg, this county, upon a charge of passing counterfeit fractional currency.
