Severe Illness.
Severe Illness.

    Severe Illness.--We regret to learn that Mrs. Col. Wynkoop has been dangerously ill since the sudden death of her husband. Her naturally delicate constitution has given away under the terrible shock she has experienced, and the constant and undivided attention of her family in Pottsville is required to sustain her. It appears that the Colonel, at the time of the fatal accident, was endeavoring to procure a few pheasants for his invalid wife, and as his hired man was walking behind him, the trigger was caught by a twig and the gun exploded.
