When he was thirty days out, however, he died of a disease of the heart. Mrs. Ward has gone forward to her destination. Mrs. Emily M. Arms, formerly of Greenfield, Mass., and wife of Rev. Wm. S. Arms, sailed from this city on the 13th of February, 1860, in the expectation of devoting her life to the spiritual interests of the Bulgarians . She was located at Eske Zagra, European Turkey, and gave promise of great usefulness; but, on the 31st of March, she closed her earthly labors. - Boston Traveller.
