MELANCHOLY INTELLIGENCE. ---it

only a little over a year since Mr. Win.
Cash, of McKillop, received the sad in-
telligence of the death of his eldest son
in California. On Tuesday evening last
he received a letter, informing him of the
death a his youngest son, which took
place in the hospital at Sacramento, on
the 3rd. inst. ' This son was 21 years of
age, and had. been in California for about
two years, during which time he had
been employed on the Central Pacific
Railway. The following letter, which
Mr. Cash received from the clerk of the
hospital in which his EMI died, will ex-
plain itself: 1
SACRAMENTO, May 6, 1877.
Mr. William -Cash—Dear Sir: I am
called upon to perform the sad duty of
informing you of the death of your son
Edward Cash, which occurred. at this
place on May 3, from typhoid. fever. He
was admitted. into the hospital en April
6, and little did we think tkat he would
breathe his last in the same room as his
brother Peter. *The doctor did not think
he would die until about a week before
his death. At that time he was taken
with a severe hemorrhage of the bowels
which was checked in a day or two, but
the disease had weakened him so much
that he could not rally. Good nurses _
were in constant attendance day and
night. Nothing was spared to promote
his comfort, as he had many warm friends
at Wadsworth with whom he has associat-
ed during the time he was on the road,
who would. have gladly been with him,
but their duty to their employers would
not permit. Saveral ef them who were
here from that vicinity as invalid's and
friends of his, stood by his bedside while
he breathed his last. You may feel com-
forted to know that, though far away
from his father and mother, he had many
warm friends, who will sympathise witk
you in your bereavement. His body has
been kept in ice until to -day, , so that
those who lived at a distance could be at
his Inneral if possible. He will be buried
to -day (Sunday) at . 430 P. M. ,followed.
by those who sincerely regret 'his early
death. We have had quite a number of
cases of the same kind of Aeber from
Wadsworth and -vicinity, whidh appears
to be of a very malignant type. Rarely
one recovers who comes from that local-
ity. Your son left a valuable gold watch
and chain and other articles, which will
be subject to your order. Any further
information or_request you may wish to
make, by corresponding with J, R. Hal -
son, superintendent of the hospital, will
be promptly -attended to. I will inow
close, and may an all, wise God sustain
you with his divine strength in your
hour of mourning for the loss of your
son, but always remembering "what is
your loss is His gain." Yours very
truly, C. H. WILDER, Hospital Clerk.
