THE TRIPLE BURIAL-The Triple burial, the interment of late Mrs. Ellwanger, her sister Hannah, and her infant daughter, was had yesterday. We never remember a scene darker with gloom than was that.

There was not wanting the sympathy of friends-but of what avail is of such an hour! “In the shadow of such an affliction the souls sits dumb.”
