ROSTOV, September 19.
AT GofTstown, New Hampfhtre, 17 persons were
taken sick w ithin a few hours of each other. Two
i ted> Our aecmiuts left the Olhe 1 s recoveirng. The sickness
was produced by drinking water from a well which had
been unused for feme time. Other causes have been con
ject red, but this is the moft probable, and the moft be
lieved. . -

REFFECT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! ‘
My fellow citizens, reflect upon your danger before it is
too latei One hundred of us are attacked with the fever
every day. One half of that number is daily carried to
the grave.
If we remain in town it is probable that the fever will

half of our number will have been Tick, and one fourth cf
us will be no more.
‘ How different is the situation of our friends in the coun
try and in the tents.
• Two thousand persons in -the tents have left but feven
tecn-in twenty-five days, while the fame number in Phila

WHY DO YOU PREFER FAMINE, SICKNESS,
AND DEATH, TO HEALTH AND PLENTY?
It is not yet too late to -remove. GO BEFORE IT
IS TOO LATE.
