Drowned.
A correspondent informs us, that, on the 22d ult., a youth by the name of John Snoots, was drowned in the dam of the Taylorstown mills, in the German Settlement, in this County. He and a younger brother were passing near the dam on horseback, when the horse stumbled and, pitched into the water, throwing the two youths off. The elder brother is supposed to have lost his life, in the noble effort to save his younger brother.---Leesburg Washingtonian.

from "History of the Independent Loudoun Virginia Rangers"(USA) by Briscoe Goodhart, Co.A, published by McGill and Wallace, Washington DC, 1896. During fighting at Waterford, Loudoun Co., VA.
"Many of White's men and the Rangers had been schoolmates, and in some instances reared around the same fireside; one brother following the Confederate banner with a pitiable and delusive blindness, while the other brother stood firm with his allegiance to the Stars and Stripes.
In this fight brothers met. After the Rangers had been paroled Wm. Snoots of White's Command, wanted to shoot his brother Charles who belonged to the Rangers, but was fittingly rebuked by his officers for such an unsoldierly and unbrotherly desire. Charles, who had been deprived of his arms, keenly felt the advantage his brother wanted to take, and modestly suggested to brother Bill that if he would unbuckle his arms and lay them aside, he, Charles, would wipe up the earth with the cowardly cur in less than two minutes."
