LOCAL and PERSONAL.

The sad intelligence of the death of Francis, the nine-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. F. Freeman, was brought to this city last Tuesday morning from Driftwood, where the family, in com­pany with several other parties from this city, was in camp. The little one had not been well for some time and it was thought the fresh country air would be of benefit. The immediate cause of death, however, was dysentery. Funeral was held yesterday morning from the house.
