Insatiate Archer, would not one suffice? – Abiah Caroline Cox, youngest daughter of the Rev. Dr. Cox, departed this life last evening, aged 20 months. Thus, in the course of four days and a half, three members of this afflicted family have been removed by death,—all by scarlet fever. Alfred Roe Cox, aged 6 years, died on Sabbath morning; Edward Dorr Griffin Cox, aged 3 years and 3 months, on Monday morning; and both were buried on Tuesday afternoon, in the same grave and the same coffin.
