From the Friday evening's CAPITOL we clip the following: A. E. Barnett, of Earlham, came to this city a few days ago to visit with relatives. He was not well at the time of his arrival, yet not seriously sick; but was yesterday taken severely and quite suddenly worse, at the residence of W. R. Hill, in the Baker block, and about 7 last evening he died. Mr. Barnett is a brother-in-law of Mr. Hill, of Hill & Horn, and related to Barnett Bros., also to the Comptons of this city. The remains will be taken to Stuart to-morrow and buried beside those of his father. Mr. A. E. Barnett was a fine young man, of good character, and his death will be sadly felt among his large circle of acquaintances.
