PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY ITEMS -- A terrible gloom was cast over the festivities of Christmas day by the sudden and unlooked for death of Mr. Wm. C. Broughton, a young man highly respected by his friends. He was taken ill early in the morning and died at about two o'clock in the afternoon, being in a lethargic and unconscious state from the time of the attack until his death.
At a public sale of horses at Brentsville on Monday last, a tolerably respectable animal sold for $5.50, and another, rather advanced in years and decrepid in limb, was knocked off at four dollars.
St. Stephens Episcopal church, near Catlett's, which was destroyed during the war is shortly to be rebuilt.
S. C. Neale esq., of Alexandria has been admitted to practice in the County Court. --
