A Melancholy Record.

The family of Mr. Harry Brister of Vienna,
has exhibited a most melancholy example OF
the fatal ravages of diphtheria, that terrible
scourge which has visited us.
Nov. LIST. 1869, they we're a family of ten per
sons, The parents, and Ell sons aud four daugh.
tiers, healthy and as promising for life as any
family in our community. Now they numl.er
but three. the parents and one daughter Their
respective ages and deaths were us follows;
Harrison, aged 20 years died Nov. 5th. Adel
phus a. aged 5, died Nov. 18Th, Harmon L. in
his 9TH year. died Nov. 23j, Lizesta Inez, in her
9Th year, died Nov. 25th. At this date it was
decided that it was not safe for the family to
remain in the house they were occupying, 90
filed with disease. and not very convenient or
comfortable. A neighbor, Mr.. Able Tuesdell,
generously offered to receive the two eldest
daughters, then unwell, into his house to be
nursed. The two other children, a son and q
daughter, were still in health, aud taken in by
their friends.
But the work of death was not yet finished.
At the house of Mr.. Tuesdsll, Mary Cathsrine,
aged I6 years, died Dec. LIST, and Adeline, aged
Is, died Dec. Sd. 1t was then fondly hoped
that the plague was stayed. The remnants Of
the family were gathered again in a more con-
veDient and comfortable home, the parents, with
a son and daughter. hoping to be spared. But
after abouta month the fatal ma lady seized the
remaining son, Arthur Clifton, in his Sd year,
and he died Jan. 9Th 1861.
1t was my sad office to be present at the death
of the eldest, anda more dreadful struggle with
the physical suff-rings of mortality 1 never wit
messed. In bis full strength, laboring to breath
he rose to his feet. supported by his father and
. neighbcr, and pressed to the door, and there
died on his feet, struggling in vain for another
breath. l was present at the funeral of all but
two, whe were buried while I was oc. OF town.
think can safely say. it has never fallen to
my lot to minister 10 a family in deeper afflie-
ton, or of a more tender family affection than
ibis truly bereaved family. At the death Of the
youngest, the only remaining son. nature yield
ID to the weight, and the parents tainted under
he stroke. None Of the family were able to at
end the funeral.
It should be said that in this case there was
10 want of medical counsel or attendance.-
Different physicians were employed, but all of
10 avail. The disease assumed a malignant
orR, and baGied all attempts to subdue orcon-
rol it. x. B.

He also brings certificates from the author

to be feared hat the worst is not
yet reached.
The action taken by the meetings and
