DIED,
On Monday the 10Th inst. at the residence
of her parents, near Augusta, in this County,
Elizabeth Caroline Davis, only daughter of
Thomas X. aud Henrietta Davis-aged two
years and four months
Also on Tuesday the 18th inst. Matthias

and SO painful as this.
On Sunday, the 10Th inst, these little chill
drcn were the pictures Of health and youthful
beauty. They retired to rest in unusual glec
and with the finest prcsage Of prolonged life
About midnight the two first named were seiz-
cd with spasms, acco,np panied by vomiting and
burning fever, which by morning proved to
be scarlaiina OF the malignant type Medical

late The king OF tcrrors had marked them

They were inferred on Thursday last in the
same grave The distressed parents now clung
with redoubled affection to their last fond hope
their darling boy; but, alas, the cup of their
atilicton was not yet full. This little cherub
was attacked in similar manner on Friday,
and soon followed its brother and sister to tho
world of spirits A more interesting family
group is rarely TO be met with. For more than
u year their devoted mother had known little
other society than that of her family. The
children were uncommonly intelligent and
under her guidance and tuition were fast re
alizing the tondest hopes of their parents.
But earthly hopes, how bright so e'cr,
| Still f1uctuate DER this changing scene,
AS false and fleeing, as they are fair
These little ones are gone to happier abod
and the hearth of their parents is now gloom,
and desolatc. The sympathy Of friends, how
ever numerous, cannot heal their wounds; no
fill the aching void of the mothers heart; but il
the midst OF their affection, let them remembe
the declaration of our Saviour, Suffer littl
