A sad Incident.

--A wife of one of the soldiers on Sullivan's Island recently visited him in camp, and carried with her delicacies from home. Shells had not been thrown on the Island for two or three days; but while the lady, was sitting in the midst of a group of friends the enemy opened, and the very first missile descended and exploded in her lap, killed two men around her, mortally wounding another, fore off one of her arms, her limbs, and shattered her entire frame. Strange to say, she lingered several days in this agonize condition, and finally died in the hospital
