Dead Man Found - OSBORN
- Last Saturday, a white man by the name of Walter OSBORN, aged 
68 years, was found dead in Fishing Creek, near STINE's Saw Mill, 
in this District, with marks of violence about his head, which has 
given rise to the suspicion that he was murdered.  A week or so 
previous to his being found, his coat was found with blood on it, 
which led to the belief that he had been foully dealt with.  Some 
time ago he was an inmate of the Almshouse, but since that was in 
the employ of Mr. J. B. KUNKLE, and the last time he was seen was 
a few weeks ago in company with a man who is suspected of murdering 
him, and what gives strength to the suspicion is the fact that the 
suspected party has left, but we understand that the officers of 
the law are in prusuit of him, who will probably capture him.  A 
jury of inquest was held and the verdict rendered was that the 
deceased came to his death by blows inflicted upon his head.


Death of an Aged Citizen - HELLER
- Mr. Jacob HELLER, an aged and respected citizen of this Valley, 
died at his residence about two miles south of this place, on 
Saturday night last, in the 86th year of his age.  Mr. Heller 
emigrated to this country from Germany many years ago, and took 
up his residence in this Valley, where he has lived ever since.  
He served seven years in the French Army under Napoleon First, 
and with that army passed through the campaign in Russia. 
- [Valley Register]


Another Accident by Fire - ENGLE
- A little son of William ENGLE, living near MYERS' Mill, on Big 
Hunting Creek, was severely burned on Thursday, the 21st instant.  
The mother was engaged washing outside the house, and hearing the 
screams of the child, who had but a moment before been near the 
fire where she was washing - succeeded in extinguishing the flames.  
One of the child's legs was almost literally roasted.  Dr. Michael 
J. ZIMMERMAN of Creagerstown rendered aid, and the child is doing 
well.  Be careful of fire. - [Catoctin Clarion]


Chicken Thieves
- On Saturday night last, the chicken houses of George W. RICE on 
West Third Street, and B. F. M. HURLEY on West Second Street, were 
robbed of some very valuable game and other select chickens.  The 
thieves have a peculiar way of capturing game, viz:  they strike 
a match and hold it under the bill of the chicken, which causes 
it to fall without making a noise, thus enabling them to get away 
without being detected.  If these petty thieves continue their 
operations, we may expect to hear the report of a gun in our 
neighborhood shortly, as our neighbors are on the lookout.  
We understand that Mr. Francis BRENGLE lost all his poultry 
within the last three weeks.  There are others reported to us 
who have lost their poultry.
