Mr. Hobgood was summoned to Nor folk with his wife and son last week on account of the illness of his moth er in law, Mrs. Mary M. hite, whot-e death occurred last Thursday. His health appeared to be excellent, but it is probably that the alliiction through which the family has recent ly psed in the death of Mrs White had some effect in hastening his own collapse.
