Death of Herrick Blue

Herrick Blue, son of Curran Blue, Esq. of this city, died Saturday at Mound City hospital, Illinois. – He enlisted in the gunboat service with Mr. [ _oughton], last summer, and went with him to Cairo. The dispatch announcing his death is brief and gave not particulars. We regret very much having to record the death of this promising young man, but like many others, he is a victim to this cruel war. He was about 23 years of age. His body will be brought home for burial.
