Death of Mrs. John p. Hudson.

On Monday last our little town
was thrown into a considerable state
of excitement, by a rumor that Mrs.
Caroline A. Foster, consort OF Mr..
John p. Hudson, who had been
laboring under all alteration OF
mind for some time past, had left
home on Friday morning and went
to MI. L. G. Dees' residence, a short
distance from where she lived, and
that. night, between the hours of II
and ID o'clock, she was missing.
Diligent search was made for her by
Mn. Dees and his neighbors that
night and the following day, with
out being able to find or hear any
tidings of her. A considerable mum
Der of our citizens also contributed
their assistance in looking for the
unfortunate woman Immediately On
hearing the sad news. In about
three hours after their departure,
they returned, and reported that
her body had been found in the
North fork of Contraband, Or Sand
bayou, one of the tributaries of the
Calcasieu river, about two miles
from this place. She was attired in
a black calico dress, and had on
shoes and stockings when she left
Mr.. Dees' place, and when the body
was found had nothing but under
garments on. The supposition is she
pulled off her dress, shoes and stock
ings for the purpose of fording the
bayou with the view of going to Mr..
Locks residence, about 6 miles dis
tant from where she was drowned.
The stream the deceased attempted
to cross is about 20 feet deep, and
rarely falls low enough to be ford
able.
A Coroner's inquest was held over
the body, and a verdict rendered
that she came to her death by being
accidentally drowned.
MI. Hudson is not in the parish.
has been absent for some time,
but when he hears of the death of
his wife it will be heart-rending news
indeed. We deeply sympathize with
him i'm the loss of his beloved CON-
panion. Her children have lost a
kind and affectionate mother,-her
and numerous friends in
the parish of st. Landry, where the
deceased and her husband formerly
