week, died on Monday night, at the age of
about forty-two years. A postmortem examination
showed the cause of death to have
been gangrene of the bowels, a disease which
puzzles and baffles the sklll of physicians, and
is rarely met with. Her maiden name was

to Horace Badger, One son was born to
them, who with the husband, is left to mourn
