TERRIBLE AFFRAY AT CARLISLE
Last Saturday a shocking affair occurred at a liquor establishment in Carlisle, between an old man named Jones and a young
man named Carico, in which the latter received a very dangerous stab in the side. Carico is a soldier, and having remained
at home beyond his furlough, was reported as a deserter. He suspected Jones of giving this information, and on meeting him
last Saturday assailed him for it. The result of the row was that Jones cut Carico severely with a large "case" knife. The
victim was reported dead, at first, but we learned on Monday that he still lived, with no hopes, however, of his recovery.
Jones was acquitted after an examination before Esq. Van Fossen, on Sunday, the evidence showing clearly that the act was
done in self-defense. Jones being an old and feeble man, and having retreated twice around the room to avoid his pursuing
antagonist who attempted to strike him with "brass knucks".

MARRIED
On Saturday, July 9th, by Squire Malott, Mr. JOHN HAMILTON to Mrs. JANE HILL, both of this town.
DIED
On Tuesday, July 12th, 1864, Mrs. ANN BRODIE, widow and relict of Mr. Samuel Brodie, deceased.
She was among the first settlers of this county and lived to the advanced age of between 70 and 80 years. Died as she lived
a Christian. She has been a worthy member of the Presbyterian Church for 40 years or upwards, attended all the regular meetings
of the church as long as she was able to go. Under a long, lingering affliction she has scarcely been known to murmur- was
beloved by all who knew her- was a good companion, a kind and tender mother, an agreeable citizen, a lovely neighbor. She
leaves a large circle oc children, relations and friends to mourn her loss. She has gone to reap the reward of her labor,
and to enjoy the "rest that remains for the people of God," "where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest."
Her remains were interred July 13th, at three o'clock P.M.
She is gone and we are weeping
And our joy, so full before,
With her in the grave is sleeping
Dead and silent evermore.
She is gone, her home is gladness
With her Saviour now she reigns,
Free forever from all sadness,
Free from sickness, tears, and pains
She is gone, but why this weeping
We've not lost the flower we prize.
She has gone for safer keeping,
To God's garden in the skies.

FATAL ACCIDENT- We regret to learn that the wife of Mr. David Smith, living in the southeast suburbs of the city, met
with a terrible and fatal accident last Wednesday morning. She was engaged in making soap, and while near the fire her clothing
caught, and before the flames could be extinguished, she was so badly burned as to be beyond the hope of recovery-- Terre
Haute Jour.
