page three - Proved Fatal - We regret to learn the death of a little son of Christian Smith's of of (sic) Brady township. He was kicked in the forehead by a colt, about five weeks ago, which after much suffering resulted in his death last Saturday, in the 13th year of his age. /Scalded to Death - The Hagerstown "Twice a Week" gives the following distressing account of the death of a little child in Washington county, Md: "One of the most distressing accidents that has come to our knowledge for some occurred last Friday. An infant child of Mr. James Osborne, who lives near the upper paper mill on the Antietam, had been place by its mother upon the floor, near a table upon which stood a pot of boiling coffee, whilst she went into an adjoining apartment, and the child catching hold of an end of the table cloth upset the vessel, the whole of the scalding liquid being emptied upon its head and body. The screams of the little sufferer soon brought its mother to its assistance, but it was too late, and although the skillful attentions of a physician were speedily obtained, it died in a few hours after it met with its misfortune." "Valley Spirit." / A locomotive on the Huntingdon and Broadtop Road, at Huntingdon, Pa., exploded recently, and Jerry Wertz, the engineer, was blown to pieces, and a boy named Daniel Hick, fatally injured. / Married - In Clearfield, on October 20, 1870, by Rev.

They met the next morning when the negro shot Magill in the thigh. The wound caused Mr. M.'s death on the following Tuesday. His remains were brought to New Derry, Westmoreland county, Pa., and buried on Sunday, the 16th.

Dougherty is in the custody of the Sheriff of Armstrong county...
