The ball entered the forehead, and traced its way to the base of the brain. A WALLA Walla, Gal., dispatch of the 15th inst. says.

The other workmen were not seriously injured.

JAMES KELLEY and Bridget O'Maher, on the 11th inst., went out in a boat from Madison, Wis., on Lake Monona, and went to Lakeside. They were seen coming home in the evening drunk.
