Jun j ANOTHER IHE“ I) lxe . question uas prnlcaiid pellatioi again., ork, he tiie character | lev,tinman. llow well this character set ~on him, the honest people ot the neighbor hood in which lie resided can best tell; and ; they aver, in the homely language of the i place that it fitted him like a shirt on a hoe- j handle.” Hut the condition of a gentleman, however j desirable it may be in several respects, is not ! entirely free from miseries and vexations. It is expensive, without being profitable ; and isapt to produce envy withoutgaining respect. At least, such is the case in a country where j the people mostly get their living by the sweat of their brow, or by some active business or profession. But among other troubles which gentility brings, is that very prevalent disease, called Dyspepsia. Sam Crookshank proved that he had at least one title to the character he had assumed —he was wofully troubled with the dyspepsia. He grew pale and wan; his cheek hones, which had even been a most prominent part of his face, seemed to project farther than ev er: liis under lip, which was naturally one of the rather pendent sort, now hung most lackadaisically down, and his calliper legs, which were never the least noticeable part ol his person, began to bow out if possible farther than ever. “Sam,” said the wondering neighbors, “ what the torment ails you 1 You look for all the world as gastly and wo-begone as a De cember ghost.” “ I—l’ve got the dispepscry !” replied Sam. “ The dispepscry!” said farmer Whippic tre, with a look of contempt— ; “what mought that he?” “What mought it he?” returned Sam— “ Why, if you don’t know what the dispepse ry is, you’re no gentleman.” “ l hope not, in all conscience,” replied the farmer, “ hut 1 should like to know what sort of a thing this is you call the dispepscry.” “ Why, it is a kind of a—sort of a com plaint.” “ Umph ! so it appears.” “ It’s a kind of a—sort of a—as it were—a queer feeling, which I never felt in all my life, until I become a gentleman.” “It’s a right down gentleman’s complaint then. Hut what is it like !” “ Like ! why, it’s like to make a notoiny of me, if I don’t get better of it soon.” “You’d make a monstrous pretty notomy, would’nt you ? Rut how does your gentility complaint feel J ” “ Why, it makes me foci all over somber cjioly and down-in-thc-inouth-like, as if I’d lost all my friends. In short, Mr. Whipple tree, it’s a kind of a sort of an aneetation of the stomach and indigestible noggins, as it were.’ “The complaint is iji your noggin I’ve no doubt,” said the larmcr, pointing lo his head —“ at least it began there but I can cure your stomach for you, if that’s all you want.” “Gad!” exclaimed Sam, “can you cure it though ? ’ Pon my soul, I’d give any body the promise of a thousand dollars iri a minute that would five me from this dreadful dispep scry. It’s the only drawback, as it were, to my gentility.” “i’ll cure you of both, your gentility and your dispepscry too, if you’ll follow my ad vice.” “Could’nt think of it no how at all,” —re- turned Sam, pulling up his false collar about his cars—“ 1 like the life of a gentleman all out, if l could only get rid of the plaguy dis pepscry.” “ Go to work, you lazy varmunt.” “To work! Oh no, Mr. WhippJetrce, I could'nt think of that—could’nt ’pon my soul. Any thing cLe that you’d prescribe, in reason, I’ll take. But as for work, I’ve put my veto ’pon that long ago.” “ Then 1 give you up, for one of the Devil’s incurables,” returned the farmer, and left him. Sam resorted to a variety of moans to cure his complaint. He ate largely of mustard, cayenne pepper, horse-radish, and other sharp and powerful condiments—| usliing them to such an extent, that his mouth burnt like fire and his eyes watered again. At the same time he fed < normously on beef, cabbage, and turnips; ‘and topped oil’ with an apple-dump ling. He also added a little whiskey to his meals, by way of corrective to the sad condi dition of his stomach. But it all would not do. The strong condiments and the whiskey, although they helped him to the destruction of no small quantity of beef, cabbage, and other matters, did not in the least aid Ins sto mach in converting those things into good chyle, for the support and nourishment of his gentlemanly person. On the contrary, they rather tended, in the end, to render his com plaint worse and worse. He next had recourse to all tile root doctors and doctresses, within lifiy miles. lie took likewise ail the patent medicines he could hear of—the panaceas, the catholicons, and lire infallible specifies. He even took a news paper for the sole purpose o( reading the ad vertisements of new and important medicines, and the certificates of wonderful cures done and performed through the agency thereof.—' Hut after all, poor Sam—“ Gentleman Sam,” as the neighbors called him—had the dispep bia as had as ever. But though he most heartily hated all study and from his soul eschewed reading in general, ho accidentally derived one advantage from taking a newspaper. In looking, as usual, for infallible cures,hi* eye chanced to meet with j the following reci|ie, from a paper Down East: “Take 1 oz. Camphor, I oz. Myrrh—pul-! verise and mix them together. Then bore a j hole in the upper end of an axe helve, sufli- i cient to contain the mixture, which put iri and j stop close. SVhen this has stood 24 hours in I a warm place; it will be lit for use.”* * The author is indebted to the Portland Cou-! rier. for the very efficacious recipe, the substance | of which is given above ; and lias merely drawn j upon his own imagination lex the entire '-cry, fb ' u strati it" its effect*. ,i Such was the substance of the eastern rc-j cipc. But the manner of using it Sain did not so much admire. It was no other than ! this—namely, to get up every morning before ] the sun. <ml use the axe—beginning n.odt r-1 ately at first, and increasing the exercise by i degrees, until the heat produced V, ins hands should dissolve the mixture within the helve which, oozing through the wood, should enti rj the pores of the skin, and so ditlusc itself j through his whole frame, adding new life and i vigor to his enervated constitution. “A murrain take the work'" said Sam, “ if ’twasn’t tor tiiat, i shouid’ut mind taking the medicine at all.” He debated with himself for some days what to resolve ii|>on. Though lie disliked the mode of taking it, he had full faith in the medicine, as he had in all sorts of newspaper recipes. His father advised him by all means totakeit; and so, likewis , lid fanner Whip pletree, and the rest ol ms acquaintance. The neighbors wished, above all things, to see “ Gentleman Sam” brought to labor a gain. “If I could only git the lngredicnccs, into the pores of my band without chopping for it,” said Sam, “ I shouldn’t care. But how somever, work,or no work, 1 must take it, for I’m persuaded it’s the only thing that’ll cure inc. He aceoidinglv prepared him an axestrict j ly in the manner prescribed, not omitting to [set it in a warm place twenty four hours be fore using. His father took caie that the in strument should be well ground; and, that | there should be no lack of materials to work i upon, assigned him an acre of the primitive i forest, thickly covered with oaks, beeches and ; maples, to be cut down and wrought into fire wood. * “ Condemn it!” said Sam, as he reached ! the thick and lofty wood, “ this is a pretty | business for a gentleman ? By jumping, Jo ! seph it’s a good week’s work to cut down one j of these trees, to say nothing of chopping and splitting it up. And then what tlie deuce has | the ingredicnccs in the axe-helve to do with the chopping, I should like to know. But I Imwsoinever, as I said afore, that’s nyther here j nor there, it’s so set down in the newsprint, j and there’s no disputing what that says.” ! Sam now pulled oft" his gentleman’s coat, ] and fell to. He worked, according to the re- j | cipe, with a due degree of moderation at first ; \ nevertheless, he soon got out of breath, <S i was I obliged to slack away in order to recover his ' wind. He took special care, however not to ! let go of Ins axe for a minute, lest the handle j j should cool, and thereby he should lose the j j benefit of what he had already done. Besides ! [getting out of breath, his hands begun to get | sore, and numerous blisters were seen clcvat j ing the skin like puft’paste. j “ Consarn it alisaid Sain, as he sat down ion a log to rest —“this is a hard medicine. I’d rather take three bushels of the bitterest roots and yarbs that ever grew. This work will klt me, as sure as 1 live. I may as well die with the dispepsery, as to he cut oft" in the prime of my days by chopping these infernal j big trees, I’ll give it up for a bad job. I ! never can endure these bloody blisters, be ! sides, I’m so tired I can scarcely stand on my I feet, let alone pegging, pegging, into the trees I like a rotten red-headed woodpecker. Good bye to the chopping I say.” As Sam said this,he shouldered his axe, and \ was about quitting the wood, when a deep voice came, as it were from a hollow tree close beside him, saying— “ S-a-m! S-a-m! stir not an inch, if you do, the Devil will have you for certain. Work i two hours more to- lay, and to-morrow be here j bright and early.” “What!” exclaimed Sam, “if the trees begin to talk, it’s time to look about me.” With that he turned back and fell to chop ping again. He continued until his hands j were nearly worn out, and hisstrength so ex hausted that he could stand it no longer; when ho again shouldered his axe, and with j out being farther molested by the voice from j the tree, dragged himself home. Ho slept I soundly that night, not being troubled in the I j least with dyspeptic dreams. His iiands tiic [ next day were terribly sore, and he was lame in nearly every joint; hut his appetite was, greatly improved, and he was able to eat his meat without either pepper or mustard. lie would fain, however, have declined go ling to the wood; but the deep voice was sill ! ringing in his cars, and the Devil seemed, in [ his heai.ee! imagination, ready to catch him.— I He once more, therefore, took his medicated jaxe and repaired to the forsst. He continu jed longer than the day before, hut so sore were his liands, that every stroke ho struck gave him severe pain; and he was or.ca or twice on the point or giving the matter up, when the same deep voice from the hollow tree again warned him of the danger of such a course. In short, Sam Ciookshank repaired to the wood daily—working longer and harder eacn day than the day before, sleeping soundly at I night, and eating his meals with a constantly increaving appetite. His hands bv degrees became hardened to the work, and his whole frame so strengthened that he could labor from rnorningtill night without feeling half as much fatigue as he endured the first day from a sin gle hour’s work. I “ But what a plague is the reason,” said he. I applying his nose to the axe-helve, “1 can’t j smell the Camphire and the mtirrer oozing j through, as the newspaper said : I’m sure I’ve ; bet tlie axe-helve nearly red hot every day for j a month, and yet I can’t perceive that the in. I grcdiences come through at all. The poteen i ry must a cheated me in the articles.” I Full of this idua, he went to scold the apo thecary for putting him on with hud medi cines ; when the latter threw his pestle at his head, and called him a fool for his pains. But though-Sam could not phreeive bv anv outward signs that the medicine had come through the axc-helvo; vet, inasmuch as he daily grew bettt r by handing the instrument, he finally concluded that the virtue of the re-' nicely had insensibly entered the pores of his j hand, and without his knowing diffuse and itself | over his whole system. He did not, however, relax his endeavours,! nor lay aside the medicated axe, until his acre I •>f woedlund wm coinplculy chopped, and 1 his dyspepsia mest thoroughly cured. He was also cured of his gentlemanly pretentions: and is now one of the most industrious young men in the neighborhood. There is one thing, however, which senns to him not a little mysterious, and that is the voice from the hollow tree. But some of bis neighbors are thong! t to be wiser on tint < subject than lie; and it is shrewdly 'suspected that Jack VVhippletree, a waggish son of tie farmer above mentioned, knows more about the voice than lie who heard it. FOREIGN. fiz/ut from i 'oriug ßy the brig Quito, ('apt. Mansfield, arrived at New Bedford from Lisbon, j whence she sailed on the ITtli May, the following j intelligence has been received, which we copy j from the New Bedford Gzactte : i “Don Miguel's fleet was lying at Lisbon at that | time, inactive for want of men. On the 12th the government commenced pressing every Portu j gtiese that could be found on board the shipping in I port, as well as on shore, for the army and navy. { On tlip 13th, an order was issupd to all the ship- I wrights and caulkers, forbidding their working on i any merchant vessel, until one of the government’s ! old ships, which had been condemned, was re | paired, and requiring them to work on board ev j ery day, not excepting Sundays. “Nothing of consequence had transpired at O porto. and if there had, it would have heen al most impossible to obtain correct information, as all the avenue# for impartial accounts had been closed by the government. “Don Pedro was expected at Lisbon in about ten days, and it was thought that he would be received with open arms, by all classes. The cause of Don Miguel was very unpopular among the people, but they of course did not dare to ex press their opinion openly Desertions were fre quent, and to a considerable extent, both from the army and navy, mostly in consequence ofuot re ceiving their pay. It was stated that Don Mi guel bad nri paid liis men in sixteen months, although he has from time to time promised it to them in two months, which is lliecase at the pre senttime. “The cholera had been raging at Lisbon to a considerable extent, but had in a great measure subsided when the Quito sailed. No cases had however appeared on board the shipping. “Brig '1 im, Jarvis, ofßoston, sailed May 12th for Oporto—had been detained 17 days by the government, in consequence of having flour on board, which is contraband at Lisbon.” We *>r<? also indebted to the Editors of the New j Bedford Gazette for the Lisbon Gazette of the 11 lit j and 13th May, the contents of which, however, present little of interest. We perceive it stated | in one of them, that ait officer commanding a de tachment of cavalry at Fundoa, attempted on the night of the 22d April, to desert ami go over to Don Pedro with all his men. The attempt was frustrated in consequence of one of the soldiers ! giving information of the intended desertion at { head quarters. | Donations of cloth, grain, &c. tor the army.are j very numerous. Don Miguel was in Braga on the 7th May, with bis sisters. He reviewed on the 9;h the column on the north of the Douro,and the 2d brigade of the 4th division. The troops appeared to be very much gratified his a visit. Holland and Belgium. —The ship Gem, ar rived at the port yesterday, from Antwerp, from which place she sailed on the 28th May. The Captain reports, that lie learned at Antwerp, that warlike preparations were again making in Bel gium and that the third division of the army, consisting of 12,000 men had advanced to the fron tier. W e place no reliance on these reports. A rumor has been set afloat, that Louis Phil i lip the first,* has been dethroned, and Genera! ! Lafayette elected President of the French Re- I public. We can hardly credit it: our iuforma | lion is derived from the Richmond Whig. The { report wants confirmation. j "jpomTestic. PUBLIC OPINION ABKOAD? ’ ! A discussion is going on in the Georgia | papers,relative to thciloourscofGov.Lump ! kin towards the Missionaries. It will be recollected,that Gov.Lumpkin,in his proc lamation releasing the Missionaries, said i that those men had withdrawn their suit ! in the Supreme Court, aud appealed to j the magnanimity of the State of Georgia, i It appears from a letter recently p tblished j Ly the Missionaries upon that subject, that i so far from their ceasing in their efforts jto bring Georgia before the Supreme J Court, and throwing themselves upon the j clemency of the State, that the particular | ana confidential friends of Gov. Lumpkin, repeatedly went to them and said that if they {would withdraw their suit, they would be set at liberty! Mr. For syth while in Washington, went to Mr. Wirt, their Counsel, and used similar lan guage ! It is proper to observe that these men; who were imploring the Missionaries to! withdraw their suit, told them that they! came, without the Governor’s knowledge, but that they knew that they would be pardoned; provided they pursued tlic { course recommended. Whai a fraud isj here attempted to be practised upon the! public? Can any man possibly believe,j that the Governor was ignorant of their conduct, and that they were not his agents I in the business? The whole matter is easily explained. | —The General Government, at that time, | was making preparations to put down nul j lificatjon in South Carolina, with the force ! of arms. Georgia, in her conduct towards j the Missionaries, had put in practice the J nullification principles of South Carolina. I j 'Hie President happened to entertain no [annimosity towards the prominent men of ! i Georgia, (as lie did to those of South Caro- j | linu) having encouraged Georgia in her nullification, and his friends knowing that it would he rather a dangerous experi-j meat, to attempt - to put them Loth down,! found it necessary to attempt to remove! tiic cause of dissatisfaction in Georgia. j Superadded to these reasons, the Ad j ministration knew that they eould not bo 'more obnoxious to the jicople of South {Carolina than they were at that time, - while by pursuing a conciliatory course I towards Georgia, they might stiil retain their confidence. The first tiling therefore to be done,! was to get rid of the Missionaries ams their ; suit! Our readers are acquainted with I tb ’ t-r.i tired to r fleet lb; object. In this whole matter,Governor Lump-l kin’s course has been most unenviable. J The executive of the sovereign State of Georgia, has prosituted the dignity of his! office, ami the character of ins Stale, to j gratify a corrupt set of men at Washing ton city, and condescended to entreat in | dividuals, who had knowingly and willing | ly violated the laws of Georgia, to cease ! their endeavors to punish Iter through the } Supreme Court! It is to be hoped that Gov ernor Lttmp j kin will receive the reward lie so richly merits, for his conduct in this affair. Jila. Journal. From the Charleston Mercury. INTERESTING DOCI’TIENT. At the late public meeting in tiie course of a feeling and eloquent tribute to Mr. Turn bull's memory—alter bearing testimony to thegenuine kindn(*s& warmth ofheart which all, who knew him intimately,acknowledged and loved—to the the pure disinterestedness of his patriotisoni, his freedom from all per sonal rancour, and the lofty purity and gener ous chivalry »f his motives, Gcv. Hay ye produced and read a letter, which he had re ceived from his deceased compatriot, immedi ately after Hie appearance of the President’s Proclamation—a *ime when it was expected that those who were true to the cause of Caro lina, would have to seal their fidelity {with their blood. The letter is as characteristic as it is honorable, arid will remain among the records of the State a proud memorial of tiie deceased. We have been permitted to take a copy which we subjoin : JOHN’S ISLAND, 22d Dec. 183?. Sih—The State having called upon her pat riotic sons, to support her in her present ar duous and unequal conflict with the Federal Government, I beg of your Excellency to or der my name to be enrolled, as a private, a mongst the volunteers, —to enter upon any service which your Excellency may be pleas ed to appoint me. I however submit to your Excellency, that my untiring zeal in a cause, than w hich an cient or modern history records none so mtgli | ty to save the liberties of a people, entitles i me to belong to that corps to which you may : assign the post of the greatest difficulty, dan j ger and honor. I have the honor to be, with tlie highest | consideration and respect, your Excellency’s most ob't serv’t. ROBERT J. TURNBULL. 1 His Excellency Robekt Y. Hayne, Governor of South Carolina. The reading of this letter so full of the spi !lit of the Carolina Brutus,was received by the l meeting with much emotion. The Governor i I stated, that, knowing full well that this was] ! no empty bravado, but a sincere offering, he i I accordingly assigned Mr. Turnbull to that, ! corps, which had been chosen to form a rally- 1 i ing (>oint and forlorn-hope,in case of alarm ;j i that Mr. T. immediately came to the city, i armed himself, and regularly attended 1 the drills of his corps: and he added, that [ he was very sure that, had a bloody conflict | with our oppressors followed,and our liberties [ | been cloven down, Robert J. Turnbull j j would not have survived to mourn their loss, i ' None can doubt this, who saw how the spirit ] j of the deceased rose as the storm thickened,! i and who heard his tone of proud definance, i land animated confidence, when the frown of! tyranny was darkest. RETURN OF THE PRESIDENT. | The President of the United States, with several of his friends who accompanied him, j returned to this city from his Eastern touron | the morning of Thursday tiie south instant, j liis arrival was not only wholly unexpected | here, but seems to have taken every body ] elsewhere by surprise,as lie travelled,with the { speed of the Mail, from Concord, in New Hampshire, the most remote point of his jour ney, to this place. We understand that the President is in as good health as could have been expected. Ilis return, without longer delay, we have no doubt, lias been judicious, in reference to Ids health, and the manner of h.s return,avoiding a repetition of parades, &c. lias been at least considerate.

It is with satisfaction that we announce, that the Cholera has disappeared from among us, after having prevailed to an alarming extent for nearly three weeks. Since the Ist instant the number ol deaths has been nearly nine hundred, and this for the healthiest month in the year, makes things more alarming, and spreads consternation far and wide. Many families have led’t for the North, and our city is as empty now as has been for the last six years, even in those seasons of epidemic and pestilence, when the yellow fever raged high est. it is to be hoped that the cholera has now lelt us, for it having come a second time among us as an epidemic, it gives us reason to believe that it will not return, for such has been its nature in e very city and climate, except where it originated, and there has remained a constant plague. Business has received a very severe check from the epidemic, one that will be felt for some lime, and vve have only to hope that our friends in the country have not experienced such Josses as to af fect in any material degree their crops of cotton and sugar. By the Western mail of yesterday, we perceive, that even during the time of pestilence in our ci ty, we have lead those amongst us who could cool ly sit down and alarm the country, by sending forth exaggerated statements of the mortality. Some of the papers published in the neighbour ing parishes of the state, have been informed that two hundred have died a day in this city of the late epidemic; others publish a mortality of one hundred; some says ninety; but we do not per ceive that any have received a statement of facts, ■ or that a less number than the actual mortality is mentioned by any. Now, inasmuch as the papers in the other par ishes of the slate are weekly papers, wo think they should receive the true statement of the con dition of the health of Neiv Orleans, through the medium of the several daily journals published in this city and we think it would bo more satisfac tory as well to the publishers of the different jour nals as to their readers, that they should publish official statements in preference to vague rumors of letters. At least such a course would he dic tated by humanity and justice.— N. Orl. Mcr. Jlde. We have also seen a private letter from the same place, dated the 18tli, which says “ the cho lera has disappeared from oa■ city.” Pittsburg,-June HO. — Under date of tiie 28th, tiie Hoard of 1 lealth of Pittsburg report two deaths and add, “the Board, in justice to themselves, and as they conceive, in the faithful discharge of their official duty to their fellow citizens, feel bound to state that, from information they have privately received, they have no doubt of the ex istence of several cases of Asiatic, or malignant Cholera, w ithin the city, during the last 48 hours. ! other than those that have been reported to the | Board.” ' Mavsville, June 27. —The greater part of our | population (says tire Maysville Eagle) have re turned to their homes. All our commercial hou- I scs and stores are again open, and the mechanics I have returned • o their respective vocations. The I fears of our country friends have subsided, and ! onr little city is visited without trepidation or a ! larm by those whose business calls them here, j The Cholera yet lingers among us, though in a ; mitigated form—most of the cases now occur ring, readily yield to appropriate remedies. Since the publication of our last paper, up to S o'clocl; last evening, three deaths only had occurred frem cholera in our city. In Fleniingslurg, as late as Monday evening, tiie 24th, tiie disease continued to race w ith una bated violence. Up to that period, there had heen 51 deaths. The population of Flcmingshurg a mounted to between six and sever hundred when 1 tiie cholera broke out, of which about one half early abandoned the place. Os those who re mained, it is beleved that one sixth have fallen! Among the recent deaths, are Mr. John Mullay, Editor of the Flemingsburg intelligencer, and his ; two daughters. In Parle, the Cholera broke out on Friday last, the 21st, with almost unparalled malignancy. In 48 hours, the town was literally deserted by the i inhabitants. The deaths are reported to have n mounted to 37 as late as 9 o’clock on Monday 1 night. Lower Blue Licks —The Cholera hurst fortli at] this celebrated watering place on Wednesday of, last w eek, (tiie 19lh) and very soon dispersed its | throng ot visitants. From eight to ten deaths oc- I currcd w ithin !H hours after the disease made its 1 ppearanee. The venerable Maj. Bedinger, a re lict of the revolution, -and one of the early pioneers of the west, lost every member of tiis white fa mily. The old gentleman still survives, like the venerable and branchless oak amid surrounding desolation. Cholera supposed lobe in Fredericksburg. —After due and serious consideration, we have determin ed to give publicity to the following extract of a letter from Fredericksburg. If the intelligence is true, (and tiie writer of the letter is highly in telligent and perfectly respectable,) it ought to be known, tiiat the country arid neighboring cities may be put on their guard. If untrue, it can cause but a temporary prejudice to Fredericksburg, not to he weighed against the public advantage of knowing the fact, if it be true. This reasoning has determined us to publish it. The Fredericksburg Herald of this morning, mentions Mr. Selden’s death after “a short ill ness,” (on Tuesday,) but does not state the na ture of the illness. Died, in Fredericksburg, on the evening of June 25th, of Cholera, John W. Selden, Esq., in the hist year of his age. We make the following extract in relation to this death from a letter: It w v.d without doubt a case qj" Asiatic Cholera. He was taken Sunday night with Hisordered bowels, which continued so slight throughout Monday, as not to induce him to use any remedy. On Tuesday morning at sun rise, I found iiim perfectly prostrate and just re covered from fainting, brought on by copioie, eva cuations from the stomach, of the rice water char acter, characteristic of Cholera. He was also i attacked with violent cramps. He had medical aid immediately, but lie was too t.ir gone to re cover. His body assumed the indigo-stained ap pearance, L.c. common to the disease. . One or two cases had occurred previously of suspicious character.” r Richmond IVhig, .nine "9. j From the IVlulling Gazelle, ilxtra. Health Oi sice, June 25, 4 P. M. The Board have the pleasure to announce to i theirfellow-citizens, that no new case of Cholera has 1 oectired iri the town or vicinity, within the last > 24 hours, and but one death, Mrs. Partiik o’- ILire, Main street, between Jefferson and Adams. ] So far as can be ascertained, with the exception of; some cases of Diarrhea and Dysentery, it is be-! lievcd that the town L at pu sent as healthy as it | has been lor many years.
