Death Of a AaryLaader.-Johu 4.
Nail, Esq, brother of Hon, David W.
NALL, of this county, died recently at
his residence Jonesboro', Illinois. He
was born in Taneytown, Md, graduated
at Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg,
Pa, studied law in the Office OF Hon.
james Cooper, formerly United States
Senator from Pennsylvania, and went
to Illinois when he was quite young
man. There he prscticed law aud mer
and accumulated very con.
siderable estate. In 1860 he served on
the Breckenridge aud Lane electoral
ticket, His party repeatedly rendered
him the nomination for Congress in his
District aud he was also solicited TO &C.
cept the nomination for Governor of
his adopted State. But having no taste
for public life, declined both. He was
a forcible and effective pablo speaker,
and man Of commanding influence 10
his party. He was a man of high
character aud pure life /; aud his career
was one of usefulness to his fellow men
aud honorable to himself.-Fredk. En-. /
Wdntonness. Some persons have been
amusing themselves by throwing stones
10 the street gas lamps, in several portions
OF the city. Such conduct should be
punished BY the law to the fullest ex.
tent. We noticed on Sunday evening
that one lamp had been broken on two
sides, and the high wind prevailing at
the time caused the blaze to extend some
distance on the oitside. To those
who are fond Of such sport we would
say that the Gas Company aud the city
are on the lookout, and ii
caught In the act, they will be placed
in charge Of Sheriff Fringer.
Improved - The Directors of the
Farmers aud Mechanics National Bank
of this city, have had the interior OF
their banking room very much improv.
ed. A new counter, extending the
