Dr. Smith:  We learn from W.N. Mason, Esq., that he received a letter form Dr. Squires of the 89th Regiment, dated Wednesday last, stating that Dr. Smith was improving and that he entertained hopes of his recovery.  The wound is a very bad one, but there are certain symptoms about it that give hope that it is not so bad as was at first feared.

Killed:  We regret to notice that our friend Sergeant Miner, of Company A. 157th Reg. N.Y.S.V., was killed in one of the battles near Fredericksburg.  Sergeant Miner was the only son of PE. Miner of the Wickwire House, Hamilton [Madison Co., NY], upon whom the blow will fall with almost crushing weight.  Sergt. M. enlisted under Capt. Smith promptly upon the call of the President, last year, and nobly died with his armor on fighting for liberty and his country.

Death of Dr. Lull:  Dr. Ansel Lull died suddenly at the residence of his step son-in-law, David Griffing, Esq., of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], on Tuesday morning of this week.  He was in his usual health on Monday, and mingled with his family and friends with his accustomed cheerfulness.  He retired at his usual hour without any unusual symptoms, but about midnight his wife was awakened by his hard breathing and apparent suffocation.  Medical aid was immediately called in, but all efforts of the physician were unavailing and he died about half-past two.  His age was 72.

Dr. Lull studied medicine with the late Dr. Mason, at Preston, in this County.  Upon his license to practice he went to Manlius in Onondaga County, and after a few years he removed to Syracuse, where he had an extensive and lucrative practice, and enjoyed in a high degree the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens.  He had for many years spent his summers in this village, and early this spring made this his permanent residence, and though a comparative stranger, he had won many friends in our midst.  He has lived a long life of purity and usefulness, and has suddenly passed away to reap the reward of a honest man and consistent Christian.
