DEATH OF COL. TEALL -- On Friday evening last Col. William TEAL an old settler well known throughout the state as one of the oldest and most enterprising settlers in Michigan and Wisconsin died very suddenly whilst conversing with a friend, apparently all right he asked for a place to lie down to die, saying that he was not going to live five minutes, the friend referred to supposed he was jesting and paid little attention to the remark, he then fell back in his chair, slid to the floor and never spoke afterwards, the persons present could scarce realize that it was possible that he was dead, sent for Dr. SCHOLL who after practicing all the modern experiments for resuscitation pronounced him dead.

The Col. was a remarkable man and had great experience in early pioneering, if some persons better acquainted with his early history would furnish us with an obituary notice for our next we would be glad to publish it or give us sufficient data to get it up ourself, it would be interesting to the old settlers of Wisconsin.

Supt. ELWELL informs us that a lot of new freight cars, for the Lake Shore Road, have been shipped from new York, and are expected here in a few days. The business of the road is increasing so rapidly that more will have to be ordered in a few days.

We neglected to announce, last week that trip tickets from Sheboygan to Milwaukee and return, over the Lake Shore Road, may be had for three dollars. It is now in order for the Milwaukee & Northern to give every body a free pass, and serve free lunches on all its trains. -- Sheboygan Herald.
