DEATH OF CONNOLLY JONES 

We regret to hear of the death of another of the early settlers of Galena. Mr. 
Connolly Jones died on Sunday last, aged upwards of 80. He was a native of 
Drogheda, Ireland, was a printer of trade, and was perhaps the eldest of our 
craft in the state at the time of his death. For some twelve or fifteen years 
he worked on the London Herald and was engaged in the trial of Warren 
Hastings, and he informed us, that he assisted to set up the testimony 
originally taken in the case. He leaves an aged widow and a respectable family 
of children to survive him.
