The Wounded Soldiers at Homa.

Capt. Asper is steadily recovering; his
woundisdoingwel and his generalhealth,
is good: Capt: A. was wounded in the
thigh,
Lieut.. McCleery has been quite III, loss
of blood, fatigue and exposure, has great
ly injured his general health, but he is
now improving. Right arm shattered
while carrying the flag; ~amputated below
the elbow.
VIM. Rutan reached home the latter
part of last week, and is recovering
When the 18th Battery was driven back,
at Pittsburg Landing, a fellow soldier,
wounded in the thigh, asked assistance Of
Mr.. r. Being a stalwart six footer, he
lifted the wounded man on his shoulder,
and vas carrying him of, when a shot
struck Mr.. r. on the back of the head,
and he fell ~senseless. The ball passed
around the skull and came out in front.
He is getting along nicely.
Sergeant Laird is at his home in Meso
potamia. He is improving fast. Attach
ed to his gun, under his command, were
originally, 25 men, of these there were
only fifteen who were fit for duty, at the
battle at Pittsburg Landing, the Others
being sick in hospital or at home. OF
these fifteen, three, Kagy, Chaffee and
Downey, were killed, and two, Rutan and
Peabody, were wounded. OF the G horses
belonging to his gun, five were killed.
The body of Austin w. Lane, son Of
John Lane, Esq, of Champion, was brought
home last week. Mr.. Lane had been sick
for a week before the battle, but never
theless he returned to his post on that ia
tai Sunday, and fought through the day.
At night, worn out with fatigue he lay on
the bank of the Tennessee river, and slept
in the rain. The next day, too i'll to rise,
he was carried to q steamer, and taken to
the Cincinnati Hospital. His father went
to Cincinnati some two weeks since, and
had him removed from the hospital to
private rooms, and remained with him
until he died. He was a young man of
promise, beloved and respected by all.

Fire.

Fire.
The anniversary of the destructive fire
that visited our town, on the Both of April,
1860, came nearly being commemoratcd
by another confagration here. On last
Friday morning, about half-past three O.
clock, a fire broke out in the frame building
on the corner of Main and Franklin
streets, occupied by E. G. Booth, as a gro
Gerry, and by Aaron Peck as a grocery and
dwelling. The fire, it is thought, com
menced in the cellar, under Booths gro
Gerry, and is generally believed to have
been caused by an incendiary. The alb
sence of any article that would cause vol
untary combustion, in the building, or of
any possible chance of ignition from the
stove, leaves no room to doubt that incen-
diarism is responsible for the fire.
Two-thirds of the building wa owned
by Caleb Peck, and one-third by his son
Aram Peck. The latter had $500 insur-
ance on his interest, in the Norwich,
Conn.,, Fire Insurance Company. He lost
all his household furniture and groceries,
on which he had no insurance. On the
rest of the building there was no insur-
ance. Mr.. Booth had $1,000 insurance on
his stock of goods, in the Hartford Etna,
and Hartford Fire Insurance Companies.
The adjacent buildings, one on the east
owned by Mr.. Charles Millikin, and one
on the south side of Franklin street, own
ed by Mr.. Caleb Peck, as well as the
building on the north occupied by Mr..
Green, narrowly escaped burning. MILL
gan's vas only saved by the intrepid eff
forts of the fremen of No. l, who fought
the flames manfully. Unfortunately the
hose of No. ? were in bad condition, and
although the men worked hard and faith
fully, they labored under much disadvan-
tage.
1t, as Is the universal belief, the fire was
the work of some fendish incendiary, he
could not have easily selected a more
propitious time for executing his diaboli-
cal purpose. There had fallen a tolerable
heavy shower of rain near midnight, max
ing the roofs of buildings damp, thus
averting the dangers that would have at
tended a fire at a dry time. Although
there was no wind blowing at the time,
a dense fog hanging over the town, large
flakes of fire, fragments of burning shin
giles, ETC., were carried to the northeast,
sprinkling roofs with live Goals. 1t is
quite probable that nothing but the damp
ness that prevailed, saved the town from
a confagration quite as general as that of
two years since.

Old Folks Concert.

We are pleased to learn that the 'aOld
Folks Concert" given recently in Warren,
is to be repeated in this place on Wednes-
day evening, May 9TH, for the benefit of
the Young Ladies' Aid Society of Warren.
The Concert will take place in Arms &
Murray's Hall, and We venture the pre-
diction that the house will be crowded
with those anxious to hear the old-time
songs and witness the big bonnets and
narrow skirts worn by their ancestors
The singers will comprise some twenty
eight persons, and the music will be of a
diversified character, embracing sacred,
patriotic and sentimental pieces. The
Concert viii mmenc at eight o'clock.
Let there be a general rally of our music
loving people on the occasion.-YOuugs-.
toscA Register.
Although this will be a Young Folks
Old Folks Concert, we have no doubt it
will be a success. The singers are among
the best musical talent of the place; and
as the object is most praisewortby, we
hope the Young Ladies' Aid Society will
realize a handsome income, that will ena-
bic them to enlarge the area of their be-
~neVolent and patriotic operations. War
rem should have a goodly number of rep
resentatives in attendance this evening.
