Among those killed on this road few
days since, by the terrible accident which
occurred near Joliet, H., was Mrs Cox and
her prattIiny infant, Of Washington county
Iowa Mrs. Cox and hef husband former,
! Iy resided in this vicinity, and are well
known to ltrge number ofour readers.-
Our friend Nc (ronagle, of the Cambridge
Jetlersonian, who was relative Of the de-
ceased, pays 70 her memory the following
appropriate compliment:
After giving the names Of those killed,
the editor says;-"In the death Of one of
the sufferers named above Mrs. Cox,--w e
have lost beloved relative, "a niece, who,
but a few weeks since, paid US visit while
on her way to see her parents and fliends in
the vicinity Of Uhrichsville and Cadiz. Ii
was during her return to her home in Iowa,
from this her last visit on earth, that the
messenger of Death overlook her and her
pratting infant, at the lonely hour of mil
night, far from the solacing care and tender
sympathy Of an affec .ionatc husband whom
she had left behind in charge of her lhrcc
older children. Oh! imagine, reader, the
agonizing solicitude which, at that lonely,
dismal hour, must have peryadeI her hoav.
ing bosom as she realized her fearful condi.
ton, while in the agonies Of death her mind
would naturally revert to the sleeping group
which lay unconscious Of their impending
bereavement. 1t must be terrible thing
to meet death when surrounded by kind and
sympathetic friends; bu: how much more
fearful must it have been 10 taeet the grim
monster at such time, while so far remov-
cd from all she held dear on earth, save the
then perhaps lifeless form Of the infant which,
but few moments before, lay nesting on
her bosom unconscious Of harin--her pain
heightened, perhaps, BY the wailihg Of those
of her fellow passengers around her who
had met similar fate. May we noi hope
that amidst the gloom Of that fearful night,
angels Of mercy were lowering around whis,
pering consolation and ready to accompany
their disemboded spirits to brighter and
better world?'
