before, in Dublin. Sometime after their arrival,
Mr. Sterling's son caught the distemper, and died—
the daughter, in a few days after, shared the same
fate—which had such an effect on the parents;
that they became distracted end inconsolable.—

disease made such rapid strides, that in a few days
he was also removed horn this mortal life. Finally,
Mrs. Sserling complained of illness, and, after three
days' confinement, died on Tuesday Inst. The en-

ten days. So insidious was this dreadful malady in
its career, that it seemed at once to destroy the
power of life, resisting all medical aid. Mr. Ster-
