A Sad Affair.
As sad a duty as we have had to
chronicle in our province as a news?
paper man, is that of thj afiiction
sent upoo John Street and family of
Garfield township. A few weeks
ago these people had a happy family
of several children, three of whom
have in a very short spsce of time
contracted that dreaded disease
diphtheria and succcmbed to its
terrible ravages. The names of the
children who died weie Florence,
sged 1G, Ataa, aged 14 and Cora,
seed 12. Each of these loved ones
pissed away within a ver; few days
of each other and the affliction is
therefore doubly great and hard to
bear on the part of the parents. It
is certainly a very haid blow to be
compelled to lay away in the ton.b
the remains of those who have made
life the worth living under such try
ing and aeartrenderiag circumstances
Diphtheria is a serious and dreadful
disease and is relentless when once it
breaks out in contagous form among
children. Mr. Street and family
have the sympathy of all in this try
ing ordeal in whick they have been
called upon to pass through.
