The Daily Gazette City of Davenport Monday Morning June 16, 1862 Part 2 Continued... Local Matters Recovering.-We were pleased to see Adj't George McCosh riding out yesterday. He has much improved under the judicious care of Dr. Gibson, but is still feeble. He will soon, however, we hope, be completely restored to health. Dead Soldiers.-The following deaths of Iowa soldiers occurred in the Keokuk hospital at the dates mentioned: June 11th, J. W. Guthrie, co. B, 15th regiment; 13, H. LeValley, Co. A, 17th regiment, and A. C. Scrivens, Co. A, 15th regiment. A Little boy from Davenport, named Wm. Grovenberry, was taken from the Kate Cassel* and sent home yesterday. Not being satisfied with his residence, it appears he took French leave. A telegram from his parents to the Marshal made the thing all right, however.-Muscatine Journal. More Cows Dying.-Mr. John A. Guy, of East Davenport, lost a fine Devon heifer a few days since from "bloat," or the swelling that follows eating white clover. We have heard of several others dying recently from the same cause. Although many sovereign remedies are known for this complaint, yet sometimes, as in this case, they die before aid reaches them. We should think some one would discover a remedy for a disease so common. Sick Soldiers.-Mrs. Wittenmyer, in a letter to the Soldiers' Aid Society of Keokuk, says, that owing to the distance necessary to transport the sick, the army being so far from the Tennessee river, none but those laboring under chronic difficulties will be removed, and it is the intention to send such cases as far north as hospital facilities will allow, 'Keokuk,' she adds, 'is put down for 1,000 and Davenport 800.' It may be that that hospital boat, so often referred to, may yet visit us. Proceedings of the Board of Education. Saturday, June 14, 1862.
