Letter from Chapel Hill — Many old students will learn with regret of the death of Mr. Benton UTLEY, brother-in-law of the late Miss Nancy HILLIARD, and for many years manager of her business. Few families about Chapel Hill were more prosperous than they twenty to forty years ago, and none who enjoyed the profuse hospitality of their handsome establishment would have dreamed of the evil days in store for them. It was well said by them of old, “Let no man be called happy till the day of his death.”
