DEATE OF Miss LEO HUDSON.

I DEATH OF Miss LEO HUDSON
The st. Louis papers annonnce the
death of this daring actress. a
short time since, while performing
" MaZeppa in that city, tie stag
ing gave way, precipitatirs the lady
and her beautiful mare, Black Bess:
to the stage below, q distance OF
some twenty feet. Bruised and
mangled as she was, yet she per
sisted in remaining by her noble
animal, refusing food or rest, until
death ended the sufferings of her
beautiful mare. She was then con
veyed 10 her room, where her in
juries were examined and properly
attended to. Such was her grief
for the loss of her favOrite, that 1T
brought on a nervous disease, from
the effects of which, it is thought,
she died. The death of her horse,
and now her own, must awaken
the sympathy of every heart not
GALLONS to mental and physical suf-
fering.
