Wm STRANG with his family left South Bay (St. John) last May and went to Cedar Falls, Wisconsin. He is in the employ of the Cedar Falls Lumber Manufacturing Co. and doing well. A month after the family's arrival there, the youngest daughter died. This dreadful disease, small pox, prostrated the entire family. The father recovered, but on 22nd inst., Annie STRANG succumbed and word has been received that on the 26th, Thursday last, Mrs STRANG died also. The four remaining children, three boys and one little girl, are still affected and two, at least, are not expected to recover.
