and was apparently in her usual health. Sh,
then went TO the post-oiiice and eEquired for tn,
mail, and not receiving what she wanted wen
] to her husbands Office and cnquired Of til,
clerk, Mr.. Fisher, II the stuart Locomotive wa
there. Mr. Fisher replied that all the papers re
! ccived lay on the counter near her. She looked
through them and rot finding 1t turned as il I,
speak and fell to the floor. MIR. Fisher ran t,
the well for some water with which to revive hel
thinking she had merely tainted as she has don't
Oxen lately, but found that she was dying, wher
he called in Dr. Brooks who pronounced life ex
