The intelligence of his death was kept A HEART-RENDING SCENE. Sol from her — in mercy — through tlie kindness of lier friends, but only to be announced, without the slightest preparation, by a young man, who had been sent out from Lawrence, with a car- riage, to bring her in to the Free State Hotel, where her hus- band's body had been laid. TJpon arriving at the house where Mrs. Barber was, he rode up, most unthinkingly, and shouted, "Thomas Barber is killed. " His widow heard the dreadful tidi...ngs, rushed to the door, cried, " Oh, God ! what do I hear ?" and then filled the room with her shrieks. We have heard, too, a description of the heart-rending scene, which took place when they brought her into the apartment where her husband's body lay ; of her throwing herself upon his corpse, and kissing the dead man's face ; of the fearful imprecations, which, in her mad- ness, she called down upon the heads of those who had separa- ted her from all that she held dear ; and these things were re- lated to us by men, who turned shudderingly away, from the exhibition of a sorrow which no earthly power could assuao-e.
