DEATH OF AN AMERICAN LADY ABROAD.-Late
advces from Florence state that Miss Mary
Minturu, aged so years, sister of Robert Min
turn, Esq, of New York, lady Of fortune. of
rare intelligence and amiabiIity Of character,
died recently at Naples. Miss Minturn had ira
veled extensively in Europe. She went abroad
for the purpose of accompanying nephew OF
Robert Minturn on a European tour for the
benefit of his health. It will be remembered
that DR.. Kane named rivef-the most beauti-
ful in the Arctic regions-after Miss Mnturn,
and it is a somewhat singular coincidence that
while Dr. Kane was dying at Cuba, Miss Min
turn was breathing her last at Naples. She was
taken down at Florence with influenza, and pro-
ceeded to Naples where she died.
