A week ago last Sunday evening, Ralph, the
youngest son of Chss. o. Pumer, fell victim to
the terrible scourge Of diphtheria. On the Tues

Ralph. Mrs. Plumer is also stricken down with
the disease, but will doubtless recover. This sad

newed sympathy. When earthly supports and
comforts fail, may the Divine consolation come to
these bleeding hearts.
