Deaths from diphtheria.
--The Rockingham Register, of the 29th, says that diphtheria in an aggravated form, prevails extensively in the vicinity of Doe Hill, in Highland and Pendleton counties.
A number of deaths from it have occurred, among them, the wife, son, daughter, daughter-in-law, and grand child of Geo. Siples, now confined in Highland county jails for murder.
The family of Mr. John Blagg, a worthy gentleman, has also been sorely scourged, three of his children having been taken off with this disease.
Mr. Samuel Hiner also lost a child about eighteen months old. Mr. Daniel Stone has also lost three of his children; and two others are very ill. At least fifteen deaths have occurred in a limited circle within a short time.
