FEVER AT NEW-YORK
Many alarming reports being in
circulation ®f the yellow fe
vex. raging in New-York,
We think it proper to publish
the following official report of
the Board of Health of that
city.
CJFICE OF THE CF HEALTH.
New-Fork, kept. £, 1805.
Since the last report of the
Board nothing has occured with
refped to the heal h of the city,
to juftifyalarm, until within three
days, during which period, the
Board have been aff.cluouflv em
ployed, not only jn executing
the precautionary powers depo
fitrd in their funds, but in ob
taining as aeburate an account
as possible of the true hate of the
marine hospital, anil four deaths.
PupuUr tumour has vaflly ex
aggerated the number of tales,
whereby undue alarm has been
excited. The Board are extre
mely anx’ous 10 mprels on their
fellow citizens the impropriety
of l< ving credit to unauckerrfica
red reports, as they mar rest as
furrd that, as long as the present
unfavorable (late ot the pubhc
health continue*, a candid undis
puifed account of the real fitiia
tion of the city shall be regular
ly pubhfhed.
Confi ‘erable anxiety has pre
vailed, rrfpeding the power cf
th'“ Board to remove periods ftek
of malignant fever. This low
er, which has fora long time been
exerciftd by the commiflioners
of the Health Office, hi’s, in c
very instance, been tiled with the
utmost delicacy and d.6; retion.
Os those patients who were citi
zens it has been left entirely at
their option to provide recrea s.
Others, who have been removed
to the Marine Hofpitai, were
moflly ftrangeis, friendlcfs and
without families, and have been
provided with every comfort ar.d
convenience. Should the disease
continue to prevail, Bellevue
Holpital wII be opened. The
buildings belonging to this , fta-
Jbhlhrr.ent have been recently re
paired with conliderable improve
ments, and every accommodation
has been liberally provided for
the lick.
The parr of the city which at
present af pears to be the princi
pal feat of the disease, is Water
and Fr nt-ftree<s, between the
Fly Market and old steps.

Ttf AW Resident Lanu-Holders
ts the Stale of Kentucky.
FROM the number of
TRACKS of LAND exposed
to sale by the register for taxes,
it would seem that the Non
Resident land holders are either
ignorar.c of our laws, or consi
derably embarrassed for the want
of agents, in whom confidence
may be placed, and whose fitu
at.en and acquaintance with bu
siness wdl enable them to dis
charge with promptness the du
des required of them-
That there are fome who for
want of information of what our
laws require to be done, have
buffered their lands to be fold
ior the tax, 1 have no doubt, and
lor their information, will give
a ftior ftatrment of our laws on
hat lubjcd. But lam fenfiblc
that rruny more have fuffered
from a misplaced confidence in
r.gents who could not or would
not aitend to the duties required
of them. Men who live at a di
ftancc from Frankfort, where
taxes on non-refidents’ land are
paid, mull find ic more inconve
nient to discharge the duties of
an agent than a citizen of the
town. Yet it is believed that at
least nineteen twentieths of those
gentlemen who a<st as agents for
non-re fid' nts, live dispersed at
eonfiderable diltances from this
place. And to this cauk may
be attributed a great part of their
omiflion and negledt of duty.—
For it may happen that at the
time of receiving money it is
ou; of their power to pay it im
mediately into the Trealury, but
they think it shall be done as
soon as fit opportunity occurs j
n the mean time fome prtfiing
occasion or pleafng fpecuiation
induces them to make ule of it,
whit h they cannot again collect
till the lands are fold. But a
citizen of the town could always
pay over the money on receiving
it, which would often lave the
costs of advertiting the lands.—
And opportunities of transmit
ting money to this place are
inure fa fe and frequent than to
molt other places in the State, as
the Post from the Eastward once
1 week; besides private convey
ances, which are numerous. If
there should be any danger ap
prehended from the mail being
robbed, the Bilik Bills may be
cut into two or more pieces and
tranlmitted by different ports,-
Thcle among other reasons which
might be adduced, have induced
me to believe that a person in
whom confidence could be pla
ced, living at this place, and ac
quainted with business, who
would take upon himfelfthe pay
ment of taxes for Non-Residents
on a moderate comm.(lion, would
receive encouragement. 1 have
therefore determined to offer my
lervices to Non-Residents and
others who may wild business of
the kind done at this place, on
the following terms :
On being furniihed with mo
ney in time, I will aitend the re
fpedive offices, pay the Taxes,
procure quietuses therefor, and
transmit duplicates thereof to the
Proprietors of the land, to the
nearest poll-office where they
reside, for fifty cents on each trad
of land, and five per cent, on ch:
amount of the tax, &cc. charged
thereon. As it will be ntceffary
that regular accounts should be
kept of the money received and
paid away by me, I prelume thele
terms will not be though high.
For the information of those
who msy require it, 1 have sub
joined the following Ilatement
and certificate. —By the present
laws of Kentucky, Non-Ktfidents
who claim lands within the fame,
are compelled to enter their
lands for taxation with the Au
ditor of Public Accounts, before
the lit day of OdoOer, 1806, or
luch claims will become forfeited
to the (late. I he entries mult
pekribe if poffule the situation
and quality of tne land, in whose
name it was entered, surveyed
and patented*. The Tax laid ou
their lands becomes due on the’
ill day jfFebruary, annually,
and if not paid by the iff dayoi
October following, carries inte
relt from that time rill paid, at
ten per cent; per annum. The
Auditor is diredtedto tranfmicto
the Register a lift of such lands
as are not paid on (and this he
commonly does by the firft day
of may annually) and the Regis
ter is required to have the fame
published three months in the
paper of the public printer, before
the firft Monday in Novem
ber, at which time the sales of
luch lands commence, and con
tinue from day to day at the
door of the State-House, till all
are fold that ire not paid on.—
Thecoft of advertising is charg
ed to ’he proprietor of the land
and added to the tax. The lands
vhus fold cannot be redeemed
without the consent of the pur
chaser.
