Jealous and fGr-dealing passenger agent.
| He has just been suddenly cut down in
the early bloom OF manhood, before he
| has reached his full powers of useful
ness. But to the mysterious ways OF an
aIi-wise Providence we must submit,
though in grief. A true friend, a loving
husband, a kind father, and loving,
dutiful and atfectionate son, our sadness
is now for his lonely widow and only

our departed brother we will attend his
funeral in body on Sunday, the 2Sth OF

THE Ohio & Mississippi Railroad Com
pany has reduced its rates of local tariff
until the rates prove the lowest for pas
senger traffic in existence in the West,
and is in accordance with the liberal
ideas entertained and acted upon by it's
managers since they came into posses
sion of this great highway between the
West and the East. The basis for single
| trip tickets will be-three cents per mile,
and for round trip tickets two and three
quarter cents per mile-good until used.
Freight train Oruers good tor train and
day only, will be sold at two and one
half cents per mile. This company hav-
ing reduced their through rates between
| Cincinnati and st. Louis from twelve to
| ten dollars in 1871, now make it eight
dollars, and between Louisville and st.
Louis from eleven dollars in 1871 to nine
dollars, now make it eight dollars, OF
about two cents per mile. This is the
first instance where Western road has
had the courage to reduce to figure
which heretofore has been considered
low and below paying basis by railroad
managers.
