SAD DEATH.--Mrs. Emma Moore, of Iowa Center, daughter of one of the oldest settlers in Nevada, Mr. M. Daugherty, died in child-birth on Friday, Feb. 27th, leaving a son to the care of the bereaved grandparents. Mrs. Moore was known and loved by all our citizens, and the peculiar sadness of her death under such painful circumstances excites the sympathy of every one. The child will never know a mother's care, but will twine closely around it, and shield it from every bitter blast.
