Matthew Kearns, a boy some 13 years of age, while coasting at Wapello last week, was thrown from his sled and against a log with such force as to cause his death in a few hours.
A son of Mr. McMichael, of Page county, was killed a few days since by the horse he was riding falling off a bridge on to and crushing him.
We have mentioned the freezing to death of two young men, Daniel and Luke Imes, in Adair county. The body of the other young man has since been found. They were on a visit to their mother in Ringgold county.
Corporal Eugene Woodruff, of Company E, 5th Infantry, Iowa Volunteers, has been appointed through Col. Vandever, cadet at West Point. Mr. W. belongs to Buchanan county.
In 1861, Iowa had a wool clip of not less that 800,000 lbs. The amount of sorghum syrup manufactured during the same year was over 2,000,000 gallons. A million dollars have been saved the State in the production of Sorghum and Imphee.
The Ledger says that 65,000 gallons of sorghum have been manufactured during the season in Jefferson county.
Some contemptible land shark at Knoxville, the other day, attached money in the hands of the captain of the company, which was sent home by a poor soldier boy to his father. The attachment was levied to satisfy a claim on a note on which the boy’s father was security, the sharper thinking the boy was under age. So says the Republican, which justly adds: “Any man that will distress a soldier in these times of emergency would pick coppers from a dead negro’s eyes. Look out for such.”
Capt. J. S. Hunt, of Company G, 5th Regiment, from Benton county, as resigned his commission. He gives as a reason that he doubts the loyalty of the Colonel of the regiment, and wishes it distinctly understood that he will not serve under an officer whom he believes to be a rebel at heart. So says the Vinton Eagle.
Samuel O. M. Johnson, of Webster Co., and a member of Capt. Stratten’s company, from Fort Dodge, now encamped at Fortress Monroe, committed suicide on the night of the 13th ult., in a fit of insanity.
