Death Of Judge VOndersmith's Wife.

Mrs. Vondorsmith, wife of Judge Von-
dersmith, who is now confined in the Moya-
mcnsing prison, died at Lancaster, on
Sunday afternoon, after a painful and
protrac!ed illness. She had been very i'll
for some time previous to the arrest of her
husband, and when on that occasion he
bade her final farewell she was scarcely
conscious Of what was transpiling. She
was generally in delicate health, and recent
domestic troubles, no doubt, hasloned her
death, The death scene, which occurred
under peculiarly distressing circumstances,
was rendered still more painful by the
dying wife and mother giving premature
birth to . child few moments before her
dissolution.

Two weeks had passed. A young
Southern gentleman, travelling with
two of his friends through u section
of New England, and being in the vi
cinity Of Waterbury, he had visited
the city for the sole purpose of hav-
ing ocular demonstration Of the pow
or and extent'of her far-famed manu-
featuring resources. s''" ' p
p Such was the brief statement fur
nished by the trio Of strangers TO one
Of the proprietors of a large factory,
who courteously volunteered TO pio-
neer the gentlemen through the inn
mense building, The strangers had
gazed with mingled astonishment and
admiration on the vast and complica
ted machinery displayed in the low
er rooms, and they had now ascendcd
to an upper apartment where large
number Of females were employed
"Well, il will be some time before we
see anything like this on our Georgia
plnntations--eh, Halef" said one Of
the gentlemen, after his eyes had
ourneyed down the row of girls on
either side Of the room, as he turned
to his friend. But the gentleman ad-
dressed did not respond to the query,
for at that moment his eyes lighted
upon face, which until thatmoment
had been turned from him. A sud
den change came over the fine features
Of the oung ,Southerner, and his
dark, lustrous eyes fastened on that
sweet face a look Of intense, eager
ness.
"She is beautiful as an Italian pic
ture, isn't sho?" said his friend, follow
ing the young mans glance "Shc
