Mr.. William Henry Hurlbert, the new
editor of the World, is the younger brother
OF General Stephen Augustus Huribut, who
was quite distinguished in the Seminole
war, was brigadler general in the late
civil war, was minister to the States of
Colombia in 1878, and has since been a
Republican member of Congress from ILL.,
nois. While he, ss his father did before
him. insisted upon the spelling of the name
as Hurlbut, William Henry's finer instincts
insist upon the old English name, from

From the Neus, May l6:

We have to chronicle this week one of the
saddest and most distressing accidents that
has ever happened in this community. On
Saturday last, j. Hillory Thompson, son of
DR.. s. C. Thompson. was out hunting with
several Of his companions. As they were
returning home in the afternoon, it seems
that they crossed email bayou in front Of
Judge Marshall's house, and in getting out
Of the boat after crossing, Mr.. Thompson
happened to get the hammers IF his gun
caught in some way, which discharged the
whole load into his head, lnfictipg wounds
of which he died the next morning. The
family of the young man are almost crszed
with grief, and . gloom has been cast over
the entire community. Mr.. Thompson was
one Of the most promising Young men of
our town, and was universally esteemed.
