HER CONDITION.
A quick look at the countenance Of the distressed
u
BILE double shock in the death of both brother and
husband told the sad story OF her deep anguish
Careworn from the fatigue Of a continuous Journey
independent OF the terrible alliction which
had beiaen her, wonder she failed
to be recognized by familiar and sympathIzing
friends, who were at the depot awaiting her arri-
val. Soemnly her carriage proceeded to the house
OF DEATH and as it wendell Its way through the
broad avenues one could almost read the deep,
indescrbable grief which pervaded the masses
she mad lief: her husband in the full vigor OF his
manhood only to return and find him corpse.
ENTERING THE HOUSE OF DEATH.
Crowds of citizens swarmed about the gate and
doorway, and as the heart-broken widow aghted
from the carriage q scene OF great sOlemny ensued.

and uncovered Mrs. Vallandigham passed through
the dense crowd, who by their silence gave vent to
their true feeling.
UNABLE TO BEAR THE SIGHT.
