Insensible

The following remarkable catastrophe happened to a married couple in the city, who were buried a few days ago:- The wife was betwixt twenty and thirty, and the husband eight or ten years older. They went to bed in good health, and in the morning, the wife waking, found her husband dead and cold, from whence it might be concluded that he had expired five or six hours before.

She appeared to bear the loss with moderate concern and fortitude, till the corpse was carried out of the house to be buried; at which time she burst into a violent flood of tears, which were succeeded by fits: when her fits went off, her reason appeared to have left her, and in a great degree her senses, as she seemed insensible to every thing that passed; and in this state she continued two days, and then died.
