DEATH OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.-The
Hon. A. V. Brown, Postmaster General, died in
Washington, at half past nine o'clock, on Tues
day morning last. About 10 minutes previous
he was conscious, and took leave of his family
The night before the President had final inter
view and was affected to tears. During his
occasional delerium, the suffererwould call for
"the BILL" evidently abiding to the defeated
one having reference to the Post Office Depart
ment. Mr.. Brown was native of Virginia,
having been bonn in Brunswick county, in that
State, in August, 1895, In his twentieth year
he engrated with his fathers family to Ten.
nessee, was admitted to the bar, and at one
time was the law. partner of James K. Polk
afterwards President of the United States. Mr.
Brown began his political career by serving
several terms in the Legislature of Tennessee
IL 1889 he was elected to Congress, and re
elected the two succeeding terms. He was theI
chosen Governor of that State. When Mr.
Buchanan became President, Mr.. Brown wa
appointed Postmaster General. The most i'm
portaut measure of his administration was thu
establishment of the great Overland Mail, the
location of which, unfortunately, has not giver
very general satisfaction. Mr.. Brown was per
sonally highly esteemed.

No EXTRA SEssIoN.-The Washington cor
respondent OF the Baltimore American, in his
letter of the 9th, says:
An extra session may now be regarded as
abandoned, for the President has determined
not to call one unless sn exigency should arise
such as is not anticipated. As the Post Office
Department has been cut adrift entirely by the
refusal of leading Democratic Senator to allow
the usual appropriation bill to pass, Mr.. Buchan-
an thinks that the country should realize the
effect OF that opposition so that the responsible
ity shall be placed where it properly Selorgs.
Stin there is every prooability that Congress
will be convened about the first Monday in
November, or month earlier than usual, which
would enable means to be provided for the then
current tseoond quarter OF the fiscal year.

SAD CAsUALrY.-We regret to learn that
youth, named Geo. L. Walker, son of widow
lady, residing in the State of Georgia, met with
a sad accident, on Saturday last, while on a
cunning excursion, in Albemarle county, III
company with two or three fellow pupils OF
Greenwood Academy, young Walker started out
to shoot few birds, having in bis possession
gun, the cock of which was in bad order. Alter
Getting on the hill side, he discovered a dove
below him, and started down to shoot it. The
bird flew before he got within gun-shot range,
and he was seen to raise his fowling- piece, but
afterwards to lower it, and Immediately there
after an explosion took place. One of his com
panious, seeing his cap blown into the air, hast
ened to him, and found that the shot had GU
his chin and nose, and, entering his forehead
had blown out his brains, killing him instantly.

band. In accordance with which, he had intro
duced several gentlemen to the lady--one Of
whom she accepted, and is now her husband
She refused TO hand over the bonds, however,
and hence the present action.
The defendant demurred to the complaint on
the ground that it did not state facts sufficient
to constitute cause Of action. Their counsel
also contended that the claim was illegal, and
grew out of system of matrimonial brokerage
not only not recognized by common law, but
void, as being against good morals. The Judge
took the papers, and reserved his decision.
