Show ' THREE BROTHER MURDERED IN" MISSISSIPPI. Again is the press of Mj;issip;i called upon to chromc.e the horrid death of another member of the Brantley Brant-ley family, and the last of the hapless brothers who fell by the hand o; the assassin. We learn by a fasser.rr-.r that on Sunday or Monday eveninj last, Dr. Brantley, brother of the Winona Wi-nona victims, was sitting by the styve in the station house at taudalak waiting wait-ing lor the up train. W hile warming himself a negro man employed about the depot wa.ked into the room aud remarked to the doomed man that there was a stranger prowling about the platlbrtn with a double-barreled gun on his shoulder, whose looks he did not like. The doctor felt enough interest in the matter to remark to the negro that he had better shut the door aud lower the curtain. In a few moments the murderer, whoever he was, approached the window, and having, hav-ing, it is supposed, a partial view of his victim at the side of the curtain, hred through the glass and killed the object of his hate and malice. Within a few months this is the third brother murdered in this way first, the mayor of Winona, who was; shot while sitting in a concert room amid a crowd of meu and women ; then the General, who was waylaid near Winona and murdered; murder-ed; and last, the doctor, whose bloodshed blood-shed closes this serial tragedy. tV lumlius .Miss.)
