Death of J. H. Philips, Esq.
• We regrot to announce that John H. Philips
died at his street, at ll
•' o’olock New 4yphoid few.
The circumstances decease are
peculiarly painful. Some weeks since he was
summoned to Washington to attend hie son,-
Lieut. Wn- J. .Philips, who was then lying
seriously ill of typhoid fever.. He watched
with unremitting attention and painful solici
tude, until death claimed his beloved eon;
and, prostrated by dhtigue and distress; be
started home with the body. ' He ,bed eTeh
then symptoms of the dread malady, to fatal iq
its results, whether developed in the camp or
in the horns chamber. He was so ill as to be
unable to attond.tli* funeral of his son, and
although his case had several..times since been 4
reg&rdedyaa etitieel, hopes were still enter
tained for his reoovery, until a short time pre
vious death. Thus Ute fatber, as well
as the son; haa ofierod-his life a sacrifice upon
the altar of Ms country/-
Johh IT. Philips was well known through
out the county as a man of integrity and
worth—active, energetio and straightforward
iu hie dealings. He was generous, even to his
own pecuniary loss and inconvenience, and
never.refused to help a friend in time of need.
Socially,'he was highly esteemed, and devot
-edly attached to hit family. It is not long
einoe 'he lost an only daughter by consump
tion, which' caused him deep grief, and al
though a man of great physical strength, it
ie hot strange that he gave way under his sad
bereavement.
* ilrrPhiffpswas County.Jailor•aadwfihoriffr
Patterson, and hi* kindness and. hnmahlty te
the - unfortunate will long be remembered.
:During the past two or three years,-he had
been engagea extensively in the <6U betsineas,
and was one of the pioaecH in that-trade.
He leaves a very large circle of friends and
acquaintances, all of whom will receivi'tbe
news of hia. death vith unfeigned regret. -He
was about forty-fonr years of age, and leaves
a vrife and three children.
The funeral; will tako place on Friday
forenoon at ten o’clock, to proceed to Mount
Union Cemetery, y
Found Drowned. V t
• Thia morning, while the water
run from.tbe Allegheny, the dead
bodyofa man was found lying under the ice,
at the railroad crowing, (n the Fourth Ward.
Coroner McClnng was summoned, *nd during
the investigation the body was ascertained to
be that ofMobn Zeigler, of Titusville, Craw
ford lt will be remembered that Mr.
Zeigler left bis home some six weeks ago, with
a load of hides, for this market. On reaohiog
the Allegheny river, he shipped bis hides
by steamboat and eamo down to this city.
He -was last seen ,at the hoxuo of a
friond in Allegheny,' which .place ho left
about eleven o’clock at night, designing:
to cross the river. • Nothing could be learned
concerning him. Some two weeks afterwards:
bis wife came down to the eityi'and left a de
scription of her husband with rite Coroner. A
letterwasfoarid upon his person,Containing his
name and address, together with a watch nod
other articles, fixing bis identity. " He had no
doubt fallen intotae canal on tho opening al
luded to, as something resembling a body was
seen there several weeks ago. Under what
circumstances he. was drowned it is impossible
to know. There were no bruises upon nil per
son, indicating and be was sober
when ho left tho house of his friend. *

A few days since, we noticed the disappear
ance of Qcorgo PClcb, a German butcher, ro*
siding in tho Third Word, Allegheny. He
had been drinking excessively, juid it was
feared that he had drowped himself. On Hew
Years day, his body was found in the canal,
near the Sandusky street bridge, and an in*
quest was held by Coroner McClung. It ap
pears that Potch left-bis borne on Monday
evening, the 2sd of Pocember. He spent
most of the night In company with his com*
paoioni, t and. before morning was suffering
very much from mctuta pot*. At five o’clock,
two mbQ called at the Mayor's-otficp and re*
ported that Posch was out of bis mind, and
running about tho streets. ■- They followed
him for some time, fearing that ho would de
stroy himself. He suddenly disappeared from
their view on Sandusky stroet, near the canal,
and they ceased hooting for him, under the
belief that he had entered some house in that
Tltfhtty- The™ can bo no doubt that he

Contrary to my expectations, I • date this
from the north side of Green river. ' When I
wrote iny last, I flattered my self that the bulk
of tbe advance would cross the riyer, and take
iU positioh at least five tailta beyond.itr But
owing to the fact that the railroad bridge now;
beingrebuilthere was unfinished, and no other
means offering by Which we oould .transport
provisions necessary to the subsistence of any
considerable body,it was deemed best to remain
on this side of ihe river until this bridge shonld
be completed; and making doe allowances, I
think the will not be completed until
about tbe lSth of January. I wss looking at
it the other day. it is a beautiful piece of
'workmanship. ' The highest pier (there are
four of them) is one hundred and twenty-eight
feet and nine' Inches high ; the length of the
bridge is eleven hundredand forty feet. You
must not infer from this, however, that, the
river i* as wide as thoj!ength-of the bridge
would lead you to imagine; tbe river at this :
point Is only eighty, jarde in width j Jt
is very deep, however, and thewatoris a deep
green. A few acres of bottom daud extends'
along the south'side,’above and below tbe
bridge. A solid hill rises en the edge of that,
■o the cnginWs were oompeUed to extend the"
bridge over the bottom. Had the hill oh the
■ootb side ran out io a ridge or sloped south

it is a large village, very, few houses ia it are

the horrors of a civil war. But no doubt we
will witness sadder sights when we spproscb
