This much we think the public entitled to at
present, but we are mistaken if more is not
forthcoming from other quarters. We knew
nothing of Mrs. M. until circumstances threw
the information in our way and we confess,
little as we thought of Mrs. Maffit, SO many
strange accounts had been given us, that we
thought her none too good for the destiny
upon which we supposed she had recklessly
rushed. But authentic information from
various quarters, changed our views Of the
lady entirely. Now we can say that we have
heard of nothing prejudicial to her moral
character which cahnot be traced TO ono
source, and that source with US is entitled To
no respect whatever. The fact that she died
throngh grief is strong presumptive evil
dence of certain things existing in the ru-
NOR. Females, such as Mrs. M. have been
represented by some aud suspected by many,
to have been, neper die broken hearted.

And find fre-side blessing.
