Death of Mrs. SaIIie Il. Herbert.
1t is with feelings of pain and deep re-
greet that we announce the melancholy
intelligence of the death of Mrs. Sallie L.
b. Herbert, wife of Capt. Richard Herbert
and daughter of Gen. Joel A Battle.
Frank, generous and high-souled intel
lectual and affectionate from her child
hood, she was cultivated with every grace
and accomplishment that adorns her sex
and beauties life. Young in years, she
was faithful and true in all the relations of
life, being the pride of doting parents, the
idol of her husband and beloved by all
who knew her. Scarce two months have
waned since, wreathed in orange bloom, we
saw her with attendant friends, led all
blushing to the altar, a fair and lovely
young bride. The fitting vows were said,
and she became the wife of one to whom
she had given the full wealth of her young
affections, and a new life opened seemingly
bright and beautiful before her. But,
alas. the rose-vines have withered beneath
her feet, the bridal blossoms have turned
to cypress wreaths, and the nuptial robes
are changed to deaths dark drapery. The
bereaved and afflicted ones have our sin
cere coincidence, and they can console
themselves with a holy faith that she has
gone to q better world, where all is bright
and pure and spotless She will be buried
at y o'clock to-day at her fathers old
home in this county, amid the scenes of
hef childhood. There she will gently
sleep in her grave until the coming of that
bright and unclouded day, when friends
who have long been severed will meet to
part no more.
