NEW York, November 13th.-The Tribune
says: Mrs. Booths mental disturbance,
| which became sadly obvious in her last days,
ooIa a. lo-
and he has watched and tended her with
patient devotion throughout the vicissitudes
of painful and sorrowful years. Mrs. Booth
was seriously indisposed when she went to
England with her husband in June last, and
| while abroad she had the attendance
of eminent physicians, and every.
thing was done for her that skill could
| compass or affectionate care provide. After
her return last summer her mental malady
| took such shape that her husband was pres
emily compelled to keep cut Of her presence
| as much as possible, although of course his
| practical care of her never ceased This un-
| fortunate and distressing state of domestic
affairs has led to the publication of many
ISLANDERS against Edwin Booth, as obnoxious
TO truth as they are cowardly and brutal, in
his affliction.
