WILSON.
The death of Mrs. Augustus Wilson,
youngest daughter of Genus Barnum, of Bal
timore, at the Convent of the Visitation in this |
city, on Tuesday morning last, after but
fewdays illness, has cast gloom over our en-
tire community; to the many friends of the
deceased, the unexpected intelligence has
produced the deepest and most heartfelt
sorrow, for although comparatively stran-
ger in our midst, we feel sure that few, if |
any of our people, have been able to sur
round themselves with truer or better /
friends, during the several years of her
bright and happy life in our midst. About
two weeks ago, Mrs. Wilson came from her
home near Urbana, to be near, and look
after her two little girls, who were i'll at
the school of the Academy of the Visitation
