ROCHESTER CHRONICLE - Thursday, January 19, 1865

DIED.- We have today to record the Death of him we would have long kept back from among the list of the generous, kind and noble numbered with the dead. But the duty is ours, however painful it may be, to let the numerous and uncounted friends know, that NELSON G. SHAFFER, is "gone to that bourn from whence no traveler returns." .
Mr. Shaffer was born, and almost reared, within this county. He was 37 years old when he died, and a member the second term in the Lower House of the State Legislature. The wild woods and groves of his early home, taught him to love and admire nature, and like the hardy tree of his own native forest, standing firm against every storn, he determined to carve out his own fortune. Possessed of that will, and untiring energy, he buoyed himself above the hurricanes that lash the crooked streams of life, and storms of strife, growing stronger by each new effort, till, from a poor boy, he grew to be one of the first men in his county.
As a lawyer, he stood at the head of his profession; naturally sympathetic, he would work himself into the interests and feelings of his client, and with that keen perceptive faculty which he possessed, he was a very successful practitioner.
As a kind friend and husband, he had no equal. He loved his family with that affection that almost amounted to worship, and while a dearly beloved family mourn the loss of him who was to them a kind husband, a cherished father and a true brother, may we now mourn with them in their affliction. And in behalf of the widow and friends of the deceased we are permitted to tender to Hon. S. S. TERRY, Senator from this District, their sincere and heartfelt thanks for his kind services rendered during the whole of Mr. Shaffer's illness, guarding, watching over and administering to his wants with the anxiety and care of a devoted brother.

As this negro, and mulatto are the only colored gentlemen in the county, and the feelings of our citizens is so general expressed against harboring them in our midst, it does appear strange that Mr. Shephard and a few of his fanatical friends should persist in "hugging the negroll in defiance of all law and the almost universal sentiments of the community.

THE THUNDER STORM. We learn that during the thunder storm last Sunday night, the barn of Mr. B. C. WILSON of Richland township was struck by lightning, killing a dozen hogs and doing some other Damages.

FIRES. On Friday last the alarm of fire was given, and the Fire Company, with many of our citizens were soon on the way to the scene of action. The fire was in the North-west part of Town, in the dwelling occupied by Mr. BISHOP, and was extinguished by persons in that vicinity before the arrival of the company without doing but little damage.

On Sunday morning at 2 oclock the terrible alarm of the fire bell was again heard.... The fire was discovered in Holmes & Miller's Building, the South room occupied by Glick Brols Boot and Shoe Store.... a way was made through the wall from the Agricultural Ware-room adjoining, the water was then applied effectually, which soon delayed the progress of that fearful destroyer. The fire was no doubt the work of an incendiary....

In case the fire had not been put out, the splendid Store room of WALLACE & CHAPIN must have been burned to the ground. In the first instance the fire originated by a spark falling on the dry roof, and by the aid of the brisk wind then blowing from the West soon kindled into a blaze; in the second, by the carelessness of putting up the stove, the pipe not going within six feet of the chimney, but directly into the loft, or garret; the only wonder is that the entire Block, built by Mr. Wallace, was not destroyed...

DAVID TURPIE. The nomination of Judge TURPIE for Congress in this district by the Convention at Laporte on the 19th, is hailed with cheers by the democratic press and the conservative men in every part of the district ...

The match wrestle on last Saturday, between A. J. EDWARDS and Mr. LOWRY went off very pleasantly and with but little excitement. It did not last long, the first fall satisfying Mr. Lowry that he was "check-mated."

A terrible storm of wind passed over Logansport and vicinity on Sunday night last ... The front of the new brick block, being built by HENRY HOPPE, was blown down, and a large number of new frame buildings, nearly completed, were scattered in every direction.

FIRE. A Fire on last Sunday morning about one oclock was discovered in the large Holmes and Miller buildings. The alarm was promptly given, and hundreds rushed to the scene ... The fire commenced about midway of Glick Bro's Boot and Shoe store in the southern wall.
The first intimation of the fire, we understand was noticed by Mr. HOLEMAN, living with his family on the second floor, north side of the building, he being awakened by the dense smoke in his room, he aroused the other two families living on the same floor, (one on the north side, and one on the south side of the main hall) Almost simultaneously with the alarm up stairs, was heard the cry of fire outside, given by EZRA BLANCHARD and DAVID GLICK, who accidently discovered the fire through the window from the opposite side of the street. ... the flames were stayed... The fire was evidently the work of incendiaries...
Months ago we made an appeal through the Standard, to the citizens of this place, to take measures to secure a good engine to work in company with the present efficient Hook and Ladder company, and to arrange sufficient wells or cisterns for supply of water...

Hon. HUGH MILLER. The hosts of Judge Miller's warm friends in this county and throughout the State will be rejoiced to learn that Doctor SPRINGER, from Niles, Mich., has succeeded in killing and extracting the terrible Cancer from the right side of Judge's neck and face, which had draged him to the very gates of death. He had spent much money and time in traveling and consulting the most eminent Physicians of the country, with no success, or even encouragement, except that he might possibly live some time yet. At length he was brought down upon his bed and arranged his business for dying, while the monster was steadily and rapidly eating out his life. His friends at last prevailed upon him to send for Doctor Springer, who for several weeks has been almost constantly at his side, until the victory is achieved, and the Judge restored again, like one from the dead, to family and his friends. He is in fine spirits and doing well ...
Since writing the above, we received the following from the Judge:
Mr. Editor:- This morning, Wednesday Nov. 14th., Dr. Springer of Niles, Mich., took from my neck an enormous Cancer situated below the ear and immediately under the angle of the jaw bone, in a very dangerous locality, without the knife or loss of drop of blood. This is a remarkable case, for I had been looked upon by many of the Doctors in the country, as beyond the reach of help. I feel greatly improved, and the wound is doing well.
The Cancer can be seen my house at any time in alcohol. HUGH MILLER.
