tThe reports which have been sent out in
kgard to the condition OF Mrs. Grant are
nduly alarming. She expects to accom-
,knyihe remains to Albany, and no rea-
I'm IL known to the family why she should
Ut do so. Mrs. Grant had not, until the
list days, become convinced that no re-
barkable cure was to be effected in the
eneraIs case, as she had believed, and
Then his death occurred the effect OF dis
appointed hope combined with the natural
lock of her bereavement produced re-
Elton from which she has not yet recovered
3 as to enable her to mingle as freely with
Die family as before the generals demise.
6he is not confined to her bed, but on the
,ontrary she yesterday felt that she would
ike to descend to the cottage parlor and
view the generals remains. From this,
however, Mrs. Grant was dissuaded by
hose who felt that the experience would
urther trouble and depress her. She can
lot be said to be sick nor absolutely pros
rated. There has been reaction and no
m1sual protraction from the causes stated
las followed.
