While in Illinois, a few weeks since, we visited the above named
family. At that time they had buried one son, another was lying a
corpse in the same room wehre the fatehr and eldest son lay sick.
The most perfect resignation reigned throughout the family. It
was a christian family and instead of giving themselves up to
grief, the mother and eldest daughter were ministering to the
wants of the sick, while the three younger members of the family
were making themselves useful about the house. Mr. TODD was
brother to the Rev. John TODD, of Pittsfield Mass, the well known
author of the Student's Manual and other useful works.-Ed.
