We deeply regret to learn that Mr. John Campbell, of this place, who went to California last spring with "Fordyce's company," has since died.

The deceased was one of those free, kind-hearted men, whose very faults were the result of a generous nature. He has left a wife and three small children, besides many relatives and friends, to mourn his early death. He was aged about 35 years. October 22, 1850 ----------------------------- DIED.

ELIJAH DAWSON, Adm'r. September 16, 1851. September 23, 1851 ----------------------------- David Worley, Esq., departed this life on Wednesday morning, 10th inst., at his residence in Wayne township, in this county, in his 77th year, after a few weeks of painful illness, which he endured with great patience. The deceased was born, lived and died on the same farm, and was among the oldest and most respectable citizens of the neighborhood. As a husband, he was affectionale; as a parent, kind; and as a neighbor, obliging. He was a man of general information, and was blessed with a retentive memory and could at all times interest those who heard him relate the incidents of the early settlement of this region of the country. - He was among the oldest justices of the peace of this county, in which capacity he served for a number of years, and for which station he was eminently qualified. But he has gone from eart, and while the companions of his youth and their children, with a large circle of friends, have to mourn in consequence of this bereavement, we trust that it may be sanctified to the good of all, and that all may feel the importance of being prepared at all times to meet our God, for in the language of Inspiration, "what I say unto you, I say unto all, watch, for in such an hour as you think not, the SOn of man cometh." On the next day his remains were taken to the family burying ground, and deposited in the cold vault, there to await the resurrection morn, when corruption shall put on incorruption, and mortal shall put on immortality.

Sale to commence at 10 o'clock on said day. SAMUEL MINOR, JOHN MINOR, Executor's of Otho Minor February 3, 1852. February 17, 1852 ----------------------------- FIRE! FIRE!! FIRE!!! The startling cry aroused our citizens on Wednesday evening last, about 8 o'clock, when the frame hop of Charles Berryhill, adjoining Waynesburg Hotel, and immediately east of the Court House, was discovered to be on fire. The night was stormy, and the wind was blowing a perfect hurricane, notwithstanding which, the fire was extinguished in less than five minutes, with no other damage than the burning of the floor, the door, the ceiling of one side, which was of thin boards, and a hole through the roof. It is thought the fire caught from the stove-pipe, which should be a warning to our citizens generally. WOuld it not be prudent to make some provision against the destroying element, which has almost desolated some of our neighboring towns, and may soon make us its victims. We are truly in an unprepared and unprotected state - no engine, no hose, no ladders, no hooks, no axes - nothing at all, with which to contend with a fire once under headway. Had the fire of Wednesday evening broken out three hours later, it is scarcely reasonable to presume that almost the entire eastern end of our town would not have been destroyed, and yet we have heard nothing said in regard to organizing fire companies or in any way preparing to contend against almost certain ruin in case we were now visited by a serious fire. How long will this spirit of careless apathy or reckless disregard of danger, continue to hazard the lives and property of our people? Let there be action - prompt, energeric, harmonious action - on this subject. We have no means of safety against fire and yet few of our citizens have any insurance on their property. If a fire were to break out here and destroy even one dwelling, our citizens would all see the propriety, the actual necessity, for some organization for our security in the future, and yet how much more sensible and sagacious would it be to make such provision now, and be prepared, if possible to prevent the burning of even one house! But we have said enough, and, we fear, more than will be heeded. February 17, 1852 ----------------------------- MARRIED. On Thursday, the 12th inst., by Rev. Mr. Murray, of Washington, Pa., Mr. JOHN BRADEN, of Washington township, Greene county, to Miss MATILDA HANNAS of Morris township, Washington county. We acknowledge with the above notice, the receipt of a bountiful share of most delicious CAKE, with other good things in proportion, for which the happy couple have our sincere thanks. Such a considerate people cannot fail to be both prosperous and happy. February 17, 1852 ----------------------------- Executor's Sale.

The situation of the farm, being in a good neighborhood, adjacent to numerous excellent mills, and but a short distance from the river, and the easy terms on which it will be sold, should render it attractive to those wishing to buy a very desirable farm.

They have our best wishes for their future welfare, we bespeak for them a long and happy life. We also return the thanks of the whole office for the splendid cake accompanying the notice. This shows that they are liberal and understand getting married. On Thursday March 11th, by the Rev'd John Carey, Dr. B. F. LINDLEY to Miss NANCY, daughter of L[unreadable] Clark, all of Ten Mile, Washington county, Pa. Here again we are personally acquainted with the parties and most cordially wish them a happy life. The very act of getting married is a kind of charter for a long life. All past experience demonstrates the fact that old bachelors cannot live to a "green old age." They naturally waste away and finally die with the "blues," chagrin and vexation.

July 13, 1852 ----------------------------- DIED, On Tuesday, July 6, FLORENCE K., son [sic] of Wm. and Hannah Minor of Waynesburg, aged 2 years and 6 months.

I will offer for sale the farm on which I now reside, in Franklin township, known as the estate of James Adamson, dec'd, containing 50 acres more or less, 35 of which are cleared, well watered and on which are erected a log house, log stable &c., adjoining lands of Hugh Montgomery, John Hoge, Thos.

With the profoundest sorrow we record the melancholy tidings that Mr. McKennan of Washington, Pa., is no more. It is not our intention to write a eulogy upon his character, nor to give even a sketch of the history of his life, - a high order of talents, great political sagacity, unquestioned patriotism, and untiring energy, connected with a pure heart, accommodating manners and the most unbending integrity and honesty of purpose, fitted him pecularly for a public officer. - But an inherent love of social life, and domestic happiness, prompted him to decline proffered honors and offices which others eagerly sought to obtain. For these reasons the nation wa smany years partially deprived of his council, and his fame confined within narrower boundaries than it otherwise wouldd have been. But although he for twelve or fifteen years discharged the duties of a public functionary with marked ability, and honor to himself, though he possessed these high attainments and qualifications as a counsellor and a statesman, it is not so much for these, as for the loss of a citizen, a friend and a benefactor, that we mourn over this sad calamity and drop upon the grave, whose awful silence has closed over him forever, the tear of unmingled sorrow. In the private relations of life his character was most illustrious. His benevolence, generosity and hospitality are proverbial wherever his name has been heard. He was animated with a spirit of nobility that fitted him above the gross things of life - divested him of selfishness, and filled him with boundless charities and susceptible sympathies. His counsils to the young were replete with calm, thoughtful wisdom, guiding their aspirations to the accomplishment of pure and lofty deeds. The pathway of his life was bright and glorious, strewn with fair flowers and glittering gems, which reflect consolation's mild rays sweetly over that which leads to the bowers of Paradise. But as we have already intimated we will not attempt, in a few moments, to portray a life so eventful as that of Mr. McKennans. We know nothing of his situation or the circumstances with which he was surrounded at the time of his death, and consequently can give no information on this subject. - We sympathise, most sincerely, with his family, for their irreparable loss of an unusually kind and indulgent companion and father. The loss of the public may, to a great extent, be remedied by other minds but the breach in the family circle is broad, deep and beyond repair.

Waynesburg, May 24, '52 June 21, 1853 ----------------------------- On Tuesday last, after our paper was printed, we received the Official vote of Richhill township, for the election of Saturday the 11th inst., which was as follows: ASSEMBLY. - John M. Stockdale, 120 R. K. Campbell, 104 COMMISSIONER. - George Sellers, 163 John Reynolds, 26 Uriah Spragg, 15 James Seaton, 2 Solomon Hickman, 2 TREASURER. - Obediah Vancleve, 64 Jacob Lemley, 127 Henry Shriver, 23 AUDITOR. - Justus F. Temple, 71 DISTRICT ATTORNEY. - W. H. Babbit, 111 SURVEYOR. - George F.

Mr. Baker's long experience in teaching, in connection with his extensive literary and scientific attainments, peculiarly qualify him for a faithful and efficient discharge of the duties he has assumed. Our personal knowledge of his success in this place, as principal of our Union School, fully warrant us in predicting that Greene Academy will "renew her youth," under his perseverence and indomitable energy. We are further gratified to learn that Miss M. L. HAGER, of this place, has been employed as Principal of the Female Department. Miss Hager is a young lady of excellent mind, of superior attainments, and from her experience and familiarity with Mr. Baker's system of teaching, is eminently qualified for the position she has been selected to fill.
