                   ILLNESS OF MR. BADGER
   We are grieved to state that the HON. GEORGE E. BADGER, of this City, was 
on Sunday morning last, prostrated by a stroke of paralysis. He had been 
making his accustomed morning visit to the Dodd mineral spring, on the 
outskirts of the City, and on his return was suddenly stricken to the ground. 
His situation was soon discovered, and he was conveyed to his home by a 
carriage. DRS. JOHNSON, E. BURKE HAYWOOD, and R. B. HAYWOOD, were at once 
summoned, and all that medical skill could suggest was done for him. On Sunday 
night he was bled copiously, and he rested well afterwards. We are glad to 
learn, at 12 M. on Monday, that he is thought to be better.
   MR. BADGER is , we believe, in the 68th year of his age. The temporary 
obscuration of his great intellect is a calamity to this community and State; 
but his constitution is  remarkably robust,and thousands will join us in the 
earnest hope that he may be restored and spared to us yet many years.
