The deceased was among the earliest settlers, having been a resident of this county fifty-seven years. He was a useful member of society, a sincere christian, and was loved and respected by all who knew him. On the 30th ult., at the residence of his mother, in Juniata township, Blair county, PETER M'DADE, in the 30th year of his age. The deceased was buried with military honors by the Sr. American Highlanders, of which company he was a useful and highly esteemed member.

Jones residing about three miles south of t his borough, had two horses instantly killed by the falling of a tree. His little boy was driving them through the woods at the time the accident occurred. The horses were killed instantly, although the boy was but slightly injured. Awful Calamity. One of the most melancholy and heartrending accidents occurred at the Summit on Thursday morning last, that we have ever been called upon to record. The dwelling house of Mr. Ignatius Adams was totally destroyed by the explosion of twelve kegs of gun powder, which he had stored in one of the rooms, by which his wife was instantly killed, and Demetrius A. Lucket, Miss Martha Lucket, Miss --- [as listed in article] Mahon, a German named Hoover and a c hild of Mr. Adams, was burned and mangled in a most shocking manner. Mr. Adams, although present, was but slightly injured. Demetrius A. Lucket and the German have both since died. There are slight hopes of the two young ladies and the child surviving. The explosion occurred about six o'clock in the morning. The powder was ignited by the German, Hoover, who had went into the room where it was deposited for the purpose of procuring some of it with which to blast stone coal. In extinguishing the candle which he carried in hand, it is supposed that he blew a spark into the powder. As many be supposed, by the explosion of so large a quantity of powder, the house was total ruin, and it is said those who witnesses it, that the scene presented was one of the most heart-rending description. It was with considerable difficulty that the sufferers were extricated from the mass of ruins. The wife of Mr. Adams, Demetrius A. and Miss Martha Lucket were all the children of John Lucket, Esq., of Washington township, who has the sympathies and sincere condolence of his numerous friends in this his severe affliction. The sufferers were all respectable members of society, and in the prime of life, and this sad occurrence which has befallen them has cast a deep gloom over the whole community. Mrs. Adams was buried on Friday last, and her funeral was attended by a very large concourse of people. OUTSTANDING DEBTS Due County from Collectors and others, as follows: FROM COLLECTORS.

He was seated on the tender of the locomotive that was towing the passengers, when from some unknown cause, the tender got off the track, and in attempting to save himself by jumping off, he fell under the cars.

John M'Gough in Washington township, Mr. ANDREW DONNELLY, aged about sixty years. In many respects, the deceased was a very remarkable man. Scarcely a man, woman or child within the limits of Cambria, Indiana and Westmoreland counties, but was personally acquainted with ANDY DONNELLY, THE PEDLAR, and by all will his memory be christened with feelings of kindness. His kind heart and honest and upright conduct through a long life, endeared him to all with whom he became acquainted. Although totally uneducated, he managed to amass a fortune of over twenty thousand dollars. We learn that his remains were taken to Blairsville by his friends and interred in the Catholic burial ground of that place. Thursday, 31 Oct 1850 VOL 7, NO 4 Melancholy Death We regret in being compelled to announce the death of Miss SARAH TROXELL, sister of Mr. Abram Troxell, of Washington township, supposed to be occasioned by the injudicious use of laudanum. She died at the residence of her brother on Friday evening last. The circumstances of her death, as we learn them, are as follows:--She had been ill for a few days, and thought she was about taking fever and ague. She had been in the habit of using Bateman's Drops to relieve her of what she called a smothering across the breast, but not finding relief from this, some of her neighbors recommended laudanum. Accordingly on last Thursday evening she took two teaspoonsfull of laudanum, and on Friday morning repeated the dose, by taking two teaspoonsfull more. This threw her into a stupor from which she could not be aroused. Doctor Toner, of the Summit, was called upon in the afternoon, but when he arrived she was lying in a state of stupor amounting to insensibility. The Doctor at once discovered the cause, and endeavored to relieve her by the use of stimulants and a stomach pump. But his exertions were of no avail, as the laudanum had been completely absorbed in her system. She was about forty years of age. Her death is deeply mourned by a large number of relations and friends, by whom she was much respected. MARRIED On Thursday last, by the Rev. Festus Tibbot, Mr. GEORGE WILSON, of Ebensburg, to Miss ANN LLOYD, of Cambria township. Another Gone! MARRIED, on Tuesday last, by the Rev. H.P. Gallagher, Mr. JOHN A.

DIED On Saturday the 9th inst., Mrs. SARAH, consort of John Mills of the Summit, aged about 24 years. Thursday, 21 Nov 1850 VOL 7, NO 7 DIED At the Summit, Cambria county, on the 8th instant, Mrs. MARY HENRY, consort of Mr. William Henry, aged about 53 years. For a number of years past, the dec'd suffered greatly, having been afflicted with Chronic Rheumatism to such an extent as rendered her unable to walk across her room during the last thirteen years. She bore her severe affliction with Christian fortitude, and her death is mourned by all with whom she was acquainted. Thursday, 28 Nov 1850 VOL 7, NO 8 We regret to learn that Mr. PATRICK REGAN was seriously injured on Wednesday of last week. He was passing down Plane 10 on an emigrant car, when one of the axles broke, pitching the body of the car down the bank. Mr. REGAN had one of his thighs broken and a shoulder dislocated, and otherwise severely bruised. We understand that he is now doing well, and that he will in all probability recover from the injuries he has sustained. Fatal Accident. Mr. James O'Neill, a carman on the Portage Railroad, met with an accident on Saturday last, of a character so fatal that it occasioned his death in the course of a few hours. The circumstances of the case, as we have been able to gather them are as follows: He was passing down the Hollidaysburg level, with a trail of coal cars in charge, and when near the junction he discovered another train of cars stationed on the going down track. It being nearly dark, he did not discover these cars until within a short distance of them, and knowing it would be impossible to check the motion of his own cars, he made an effort to jump off in order to save himself, but in doing so his foot caught the lever, and he fell on the track and the cars passed over one of his legs near the ancle, shattering it in a horrible manner. Medical aid was immediately procured and his leg amputated, but his system appears to have sustained such serious injury that he died in a few hours. He was about forty-five years of age, was a steady and industrious man, and respected by all [who] knew him. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his untimely end. COL. RICHARD M. JOHNSTON died at Frankfort, Ky., on the 19th inst. He was about seventy years of age. NOTICE. Letters of Administration having been granted to the undersigned by the Register of Cambria county, on the estate of John Burtlett late of Summerhill township, in said county, dec'd.

Thursday, 19 Dec 1850 VOL 7, NO 11 We regret to learn that Mr. PATRICK REGAN died on Friday evening last. It may be remembered that he was seriously injured some time since on the Railroad, by the cars running off the track, a notice of which we took at the time. From that injury he never recovered, and that was the occasion of his death. He was about 45 years of age. He leaves a wife and a family of small children to mourn his untimely end. Capt. Nagle By the following item of Washington news it will be seen that Capt. Nagle will by "jerked up" for his proceedings relative to company claims. Unless we are mistaken, both the companies from this county, entrusted him with their claims against the General Government. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 Captain Nagle, who disappeared from here about a year ago, after being detected in defrauding the Government, by presenting forged vouchers of claimants, has been indicted in this Court upon the testimony of Capt. Quail of Pittsburg. He is said to be doing a private banking business in St. Louis, and the President will make a requisition for him.
