 Letters and messages from the fam fly at LaGrange, Texas, to Mrs. Vac caro and other relatives here, convey ed the sad intelligence the first of the week, that Mrs. l.. k. Brown, nee Mary Alley, was very low, and that there was scarcely a chance for her re- covery. The news received later states, however, that she is little better and they now think she may get we'll. The first news cast a gloom over the entire city. Mary was born, reared and married here, and her friends are legion. We join in the general and sincere wish that this beautiful young life may be spared, and that she may live to enjoy many, many years of happiness with her family.
