Another Little Boy.

Death entered another household this morning and bore away the spirit of the two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Billings who reside at Pleasant avenue, near Walsh street. The little son Joseph H. Billings died at 2 o'clock a. m., after a short illness of flux. Yesterday afternoon he showed promising signs of improvement and appeared bright and playful in his innocent, childish way; a relapse came, however, and in a few hours he was dead. The bereaved couple have the universal sympathy of friends and neighbors in their grief and irreparable loss.
