Wash., on Jan. 22nd, by a L g rolling up on him; a few days later her infant child died after a brief illness; and now her only’ remaining child, a bright boy < f three years, was consigned to tarth in th»* Talent cemetery on the 1th. inst, having fallen victim to me.ishs and fever. Few persons have had greater misfor tunes in so short a j eriod. In the spuceof ten weeks she has lost a husband and her two children. The scene at the grave wa - affecting indeed. To see that young mother, whose sorrow was too d<-ep and intense for violent, outward man:f< sta tion, bending over her darling, vet beau tiful in death and imprinting hist and loving kisses upon those pallid 1;| s. brought sympath« tic tears to the eyas < i every spectator. We cannot err when we say that the bertavul mother. Ims tl.e heartfelt sympathy of every j crsi.ui in the community. ANOTHER VICTIM OP COCAINE.
