the sad news has reached the home
Of Of Elder W; II. Kelley recently, that
for some time in Africa, was accidently
shot on October 2S, by a companion
soldier of the British army. The news
was communicated, it seems, through a
letter from the captain of the company,
addressed to James Orville, and held by
the post master undelivered. 1t was
finally suggested, that as William s Sec
ond name was Orville, the letter might
be intended for James Kelley, and it
was accordingly delivered to the family,
and opened by them when the crushing
intelligence above mentioned was found
within. The blow to the family was
ami unusually severe one. Death under
nearly all circumstances, has it's fea-
lures of sadness, but under such circum-
stances, away from home and kindred
in strange land, desolated by war, and
in the strength of youth, it is especially
distressing. The family has the sym
pathy of the entire community in their
sad Observation-Disclosures Patriot.

he represented to her he was worth

stated to her that he was not worth to
exceed $4,000, but she is informed he
has money and notes to the value of
$4,000 to $4,000, and the only real es.
tate he owns is claim in Oklahoma
