The Dead William McLaughlin. - Wm. McLaughlin, the young man who was 
killed yesterday morning in the P.R.R. yard, this city, was twenty-six 
years old at the time of his death, and will be buried from his 
father's residence, on the corner of Fourteenth avenue and Eleventh 
street, on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock.  At the battle of Antietam, 
Joseph, an elder brother of his, was killed, and about two weeks ago 
his only child, a little girl, died.  Truly "in the midst of life we 
are in death."  Yesterday morning the smiling face and merry laughter 
of the deceased young man could be seen and heard, but now that smiling 
face and joyous voice rest silent in death.  Father Time has claimed 
him.
