DEATH OF HATTIE MoRGAN.-Last
Tuesday morning Hiss Hattie Morgan
died at the residence of her brother-in-
law, Frank Parton, Esq, in this city,
a after brief attack of lung fever, in the
N20th year of her age. The announce
ment of her death cast sad gloom over
this community. where she had been
known from childhood and universally
beloved for her many graces of heart
and mind. Her death was an overpow-
ering calamity TO her aged mother
whose sole companion ard cherished
idol she had been for aearly a score of
years; and to him also to whom her
plighted troth was given, and who,
when the ripened grain was garnered
and the golden autumn leaves were
strewn thick upon the earth, would
have led her a blushing and willing
bride to the home nest which he had so
lovingly prepared. the weaving of the
myrtle about her marble brow in place
of the orange blossoms, was sad and
crushing blow-a sorrow which none
but those who have experienced can
have any conception of. "Let the dead
and the beautiful rest"
RAILROAD PRoGREss.-whiie at
Harrisburg last Saturday we learned
that the grading was completed TO
within three miles of that city, and
that it was expected the road-bed would
be finished there by the last of this
week. We have since learned that the
track is laid to within four miles of
town, and that the graders are all en-
camped at Harrisburg and are working
on both sides of that place. The depot
was not yet positively located there at
last accounts. The railroad company
propose to locate it on DIR. Davis land,
in the south end of town, provided that
gentleman will give them eight acres
of ground, but he 'sdon't see it'' as yet.
There is now some talk of putting the
depot OH Perry Hyde's addition, In the
north end of town, but it is hardly
probable that Dir. III. will "come out'
to the tune played by Holladay.
