A Sad Death.
Special to the Hawk-Eye.
Mt. Pleasant, Jan. 2.--This morning at four o'clock Clarabelle, daughter of Hon W. Q. (ed. should be I.), Babb died of diptheretic or membranous croup. She was attacked by the disease about two days ago and from the first symptoms the physicians felt grave fears as to the result But it was not before Sunday night that the disease assumed the dread form of membranous croup. since then she has been heroically struggling for her life, every reasonable remedy being tried for her recovery. Clarabelle was a bright, pretty little girl, nearly seven years old. A home circle of happy cildren, two sons and two daughters, is thus rudely broken for the first time. The funeral takes place to-morrow at two o'clock. It will be a private one, in accordance with the rules of the stat board of health.
