One of the saddest deaths we have had to chronicle in a long time is that of Mrs. W. C. DRESSER, which occurred on Tuesday afternoon, a result of childbirth a little over two weeks before.

Our young friend, Wilber, had been married only about a year and a half, and had started out in life with bright prospects before him, ambitions for success and the comforts of a home. Almost in a day all these prospects are blighted and he is left desolate with only an infant daughter to remind him of the happiness that he had hoped to enjoy in the society of her whom he had chosen to share his joys and sorrows, together with the children that might come to him. In his great bereavement the Review extends the full measure of its sympathy, and trusts that he and his little one may receive not only that sympathy they need but all the help that loving hands can render. Love and kindness are the only balm for bleeding hearts.
