A HORRIBLE DEATH- Again it is it the sad duty to chronicle another fearful death through the influence of King Alcohol.

A person by the name Andrew Peterson Broolog, who is well known in this vicinity, and a man of considerable note before this demon, through human machinations, ruined him.

Mona is waking up from its long sleep. She begins to feel the inspiring influence of the new railroad connection. Mr. J. P. Farley, Esq., is an extensive landholder in this vicinity. He says the M. & N. W. will locate their principal buildings there, and he has offered to build them, at his own expense. This offer he thinks they will accept.

Mr. Hubbard of this city has opened business there, and his hopes of success are flattering. He is already crowded with business.
