DIED.

… BECK.--In Fairfield, Sept. 3d, of Typhoid Fever, Katie BECK, aged 10 years, youngest daughter of Richard BECK.

Mr. BECK with his family share largely in the sympathies of this community. But two months since he came with his family (all in comfortable health) to make their home in our midst, and before the greeting of friends had ceased, his wife was stricken down with disease and suddenly died, and now their broken hearts are crushed afresh by another breach. May God sustain and comfort them.
