     We regret to learn that in the last few days Mrs. Daniel Kilgore, of Steubenville, formerly of this place, has lost two promising children with Diphtheria, one fast budding into manhood in his 16th year; another a sweet little girl of 12 summers, while a third bud of promise, a daughter of 9 years, is at the verge of death.  Most sincerely do we sympathize with the grief stricken mother and afflicted family in this dark hour of trouble.

DIED at the residence of her grand parents in Cadiz, on Thursday last, Miss Williams, daughter of Joseph Williams, formerly of this place, now in Indiana.  The mother of the child, we learn, arrived a few moments before the soul of her darling took its flight to a better world.

     Malachi Jolly, Esq., of this county, died a few days since in New Jersey.  Mr. Jolley [sic] moved to  his late residence a short time since, and shortly thereafter lost his companion whom he soon followed to the spirit land.  Mr. Jolly was one of the Pioneers of this county, and although in his old age, through the generosity of his heart he became embarrassed in business, he was one of God's noblest works - an honest man.  Peace to his ashes.

     Pat Lnch buried an infant a few months old on the 21st inst.  A tender bud of earth has gone to expand into a flower, and shed its fragrance on the balmy air of Heaven.

     We regret to learn of the death of George Harper, by drowning, on Thursday last while bathing in the creek near Hagerstown.  George was a sprightly, intelligent boy, and had been for some years past in the employ of Mr. Allen of the Sentinel, in this place.  His melancholy end, in the spring time of life, when all should be sunshine, when the youthful spirit should be buoyant and hopeful and inclined to look upon the bright side of things, has cast a cloud of sorrow about those who were want to seen his smiling face as he visited them weekly with the news.  Poor boy, his 'sorts' have run out, he has made  his last "dash," his "form" is "locked up" and the "proof sheet" gone to be "revised," we hope, in a better world.  Peace to the ashes of the Printer boy.

     Died.  In Hospital, at Camp Ewing, Va. Daniel C. Lukens, a member of Capt. D. Cunningham's Company, 30th Regiment, O. V. I., U. S. A., on the 31st day of October 1861, of Camp Colic, aged 20 years. 10 months and 18 days.
     Mr. Lukins [sic] was born and raised in Harrison County, O.  By inquiry we learn that as a son he was obedient, dutiful and loving as a brother, kind and affectionate as a friend.  As a soldier he was forbearing, valiant, fearless and undaunted.  Being naturally of a gay, lively and cheerful temperament, his warmth and gladness to all with whom he associated.  But he is gone, and his death furnished another link in the chain of evidence that goes to prove the already thrice demonstrated fact that death is no respecter of persons; that all most fall beneath the insatiable power of this dread enemy of mankind.  Daniel is gone, and his gallant comrades now in Virginia will deeply deplore his loss.
     The enemy has one foe less; the Union has lost a soldier of which it should be proud, although occupying but a humble sphere in its cause.  Peace to his ashes.  J. Fogle, O. S.
