Mr. Vandyne, our assistant station agent, was taken violently ill last Saturday, and for a time serious apprehensions, were felt as to his pulling through. He was taken with a chill, and quitting his labors, took to his bed. A short time afterwards the lady of the house heard a serious disturbance in his room, and immediately resorting thither, found Vandyne in convulsions, unconscious, and to all appearances it was "the last rose of summer" with the poor fellow. Dr. Finney was summoned at once, and his skill set Vandyne right in a very limited lapse of time. Ed nearly passed in his checks however and will have to "dead head" for a while.
