SAD DEATH.-MrS. w 4. L. w aruWell, OF B0S-

travelling with her husband, complained of be-
ing Slightly unwell, and stopped some three
weeks since at the Virginia Hotel, in this place,
to rest. She continued to grow worse until
Sunday night last at O'clock when she died.
Every attention possible was given her but of no
avail. She had one or two acquaintance of her
childhood here who speak of her as most esti-
mabe and christian lady. Her husband was
known to US through an afflicted brother, who
remained here some weeks several years since,
and was most worthy gentleman and most
devoted husband, and we tender him and his
friends sincere sympathy in their sad be-
reavement.
