A little girl of Mr. Israel Shutt's was terribly bitten by a dog at Mr. Bargaheiser's last evening. It is doing well.

DIED, Mary, wife of William Clinesmith, was born in Bedford Co., Pa., October 20th., 1816, died near Rome, Ohio, July 3d., 1875, aged 58 years, 8 months and 13 days. The call of the departed through death to life was very sudden. Goods were packed to remove to Indiana in a few days, when, on the evening previous to her intended departure, she was attacked with congestion of the brain, which soon ended her earthly life. She was conscious of her condition, and ready. In the year 1838, she united with the Reformed Church under the ministry of Rev. S.B. Leiter, and in 1851 became a member of the M.E. Church witnessing a good profession to the end. Her remains were conveyed to the old church yard at Rome, followed by an immense concourse of people. Funeral services were held in the Methodist Church conducted by the writer. "Be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh."

There was a very large attendance at the Union Pic-Nic in Walter's grove near the Infirmary on Saturday last. The table was abundantly supplied with the good things of that neighborhood; the ladies were in attendance in force, and everybody enjoyed the occasion to the utmost. We are under obligations for courtesies to Capt. Brown, Messrs. Oswalt, Hettler and others. Speeches were made by Bloom, Matson, McBride and perhaps others, not known to us, for we left before services were concluded.

Mrs. Anna Atkins, daughter of Mr. Jonas Breckbill, is at home spending the summer with her parents. Her home is in Elizabethtown, New Jersey, where she has been residing for a number of years. Her old friends are pleased to see her.
