Heard From:  In the year of 1859, two young men of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], Charles C. Gross and George Jacobs, went off to the State of Georgia with a man named Cole, who had been buying horses in this vicinity.  Jacobs soon returned, but Gross remained behind to seek his fortune.  He found it about a year afterwards in being driven into the ranks of the rebel army.  From that time no tidings of Charley ever reached Norwich until last Saturday, when his mother received from him a letter dated "Old Capitol Prison, Washington, D.C.," saying he had succeeded in "running the blockade of the South" and was then confined in Washington as a prisoner.  He wanted some documentary proof of his birth place parentage, connexions &c., sent on, and said that with their aid and by his oath of allegiance to the United States, he could be released and come home. The desired papers were forwarded to him on Monday and we shall soon know from his own mouth what damage three years of involuntary service in the cause of Seccessia have done to his patriotism.

Married:  HICKOX - SNOW:  In Vernon [Oneida Co., NY], Sept. 17, 1863, by Rev. Mr. Culver, Mr. Cyrus Hickox, of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] to Miss Sabrina Snow, of Vernon.

Died:  WELLS:  At the Marine Hospital, New OrlĂ©ans, Aug. 30, 1863, of consumption, Daniel L. Wells, of Pharsalia [Chenango C., NY], a volunteer of Co. I, 114th Reg. N.Y.S.V., aged 31 years.

In the fall of 1862, when enlistments were so rapidly going on in this county, he was among the first who nobly volunteered to risk his life in his country's service.  He left Norwich with the Regiment in September, 1862, and kept with it through all its perilous passage from Baltimore to New Orleans, being one of the number so nearly lost with the Thames in November.  In April 1863, he became very feeble and remained so up to the time of his death.  He was often tendered with his discharge, but he always refused, saying he would never leave his country's service except with his death or the downfall of treason.  He was a young man of the highest intelligence and abilities, professing a noble, frank and genial heart, and was universally beloved and esteemed by all who knew him.  In his death our society has lost one of its dearest numbers, and his parents the joy of a true and faithful son.  "No marble marks the couch of lowly sleep, / But living statues here are seen to weep./ Affliction's semblance bends not o'er thy tomb, / Affliction's self deplores thy early doom."

Died:  ARNOLD:  In McDonough [Chenango Co., NY], Sept. 13?, 1863, of diptheria, after an illness of nine days, Henry E. Arnold, son of William and Melissa B. Arnold, aged 13 years and 5 days.  Throughout his sickness he was remarkably patient and thoughtful.  He was a regular attendant and lover of the Sabbath School. We feel that he gave evidence of going to a better world than this.  He was heard to say (speaking to himself) "I cannot live and I must give my heart of Jesus." We trust his happy spirit was conveyed by angels to "Abrahams bosom"  -?-.
