Died of Anger Some three months ago the son of a prominent farmer of town Newton married a girl whose reputation it is said was not of the very best, which greatly enraged the mother of the young man. From the day of the young man's marriage her anger knew no bounds: she persuaded, threatened, cried, scolded, but without avail, the son would not give up the girl. She could not sleep nights and partook of but little food, and worried over the matter so much that it reduced her in flesh from two hundred to one hundred and thirty-five pounds, and so weakened her that she died last Thursday.
