Sad Incident of the Late Chicago Fire.—The Cleveland Review of Thursday evening, relates the following sad incident of the late terrible conflagration in Chicago:

A lady passed through the city last evening from Chicago to her home in the vicinity of New York, now desolate by the sudden loss of her husband. They were at the Tremont House in Chicago the night of the fire, and he from curiosity, went into it, and when there, was crushed under a falling wall. So mutilated was he, that it was only by some remnants of his clothing that the agonized wife could recognise him, who but a moment before was in the full vigor of manhood. Their money was with him, and was we understand destroyed. The widow, almost heart-broken, meets with active kindness from all. The Railroad men pass her free, and others are also attentive. She came from Toledo on Conductor Ames' train, and one Mrs. Whitaker, wife of a merchant of Toledo interesting herself in her behalf, went through the cars with the kind Conductor, and obtained over $20 for her. The corpse is to be forwarded by the Express companies.
