The reader will remember that q fYw, weeks

Mr, Poster, with their families, had beer

tions to return to IllinoIa. On Thursday last
Mr. VIM 13ybee, . resident Of Texas, wei
k!iJSHra t5 many Of Cdr ci43Gna Is . dealer Il
cattle and horses, arrived from TINT state, an
brought to the friends Of Fairyicw the nclau
choly Intelligence that Dr.. Shrccves and Mfs
