/ who has been for some days past on visit
to his uncle. Mr.. Geo. S. Fullerton, of Bloom
ingburg, died suddenly at Mr.. F.'s resi-
dence yesterday morning. He had been
hunting on the day previous, and went to
bed at night apparently in his usual health
In the morning when one of the family
went to call him to breakfast, he was found
lying across the bed half dressed, and in an
unconscious condition, and died soon after
ward. The sad news was telegraphed to
his father, who had just returned from New
Orleans, where he has been spending some

paralytic stroke. The deceased was a
young man of excellent qualities and fine
promise.
"A family, consisting of an old man,
| his wife and two daughters, arrived in town
last Friday evening in an old one-horse
covered wagon, in which they were mov-
ing from somewhere West, where they
have lived for few years past, to their
former home near Frankfort. The two
daughters were dying with consumption
and were mere living skeletons, who had
to be carried from the wagon into the Shaw
House, where they stayed over night A
few years ago they passed through here
all in good health and spirits for new
home in the West. Now they return,
broken down in fortunes and the two
daughters to die among the scenes of their
youth.

prise is in healthy state prospectively.-

ed to the demands of the company in re-
spect to the old road bed between this city.
and Washington C. Fl. 1t was matter of

be estimated at its value and placed to the
credit of the Pan Handle road in stock of
the new road. The surrender has been
made, however, unconditionally, and there
are certainly no obstacles now in the way
Of an early prosecution of the work.,
: Queer mistakes will happen some
times, as for inst ance we placed a new
counter in our front room the other day,
and a dusky complextioned gentleman
stepped up with very confidential air and
said, "Tll take glass Of lager beer sir''
AS we are not engaged in the traffic, the
joke was either on us or the gentleman
with the dusky complexion, and we rath-
er guess it was not on us, for we are on the
i temperance side of the liquor issue.
