         Killed by the Cars - A man named JOHN CURTIS,
       residing in Ogden, was instantly killed near
       Blissfield, by the mail train going east, on
       the afternoon of Friday last. CURTIS left home
       in the morning on a fishing excursion with 
       another man, and it is supposed, as he was a 
       man who was addicted to dissipation, he drank
       freely of his usual potations, and laid down
       near the railroad track to sleep it off, with-
       in reach of the frame of the dust apron, which
       struck him with such force as to knock the life
       out of him instantly. He was not seen by the
       engineer until it was too late to stop the train.
