e. Notwithfflniing the fa-
vorahle alpett of the prevailing
dilea(e being nclrly exterminatel
-yetit behoves thole inh ,bitants
who may have removed, and
whole dwellings remain lhut,
to caufe them not only to be ef-
fe6tually fumigatel, but white
wafhel and aired, previous to
their return.-Itls is uncertain to
decide what effect the prefent
changeable weather may produce
Hopes are entertained of a con-
tinuance of the temperate, for a
few weeks; in which cafe, no
hazard can refult, by return Of
our friends & neighbours.-This
would indeed be pleafing, and
is devoutly wilhed---But-
whilif in the fervor Of our hopes,
we contemplate return of our
former blei1ings, let not the opu-
lent--the benevolent forget the
numerous families who are de-
prived of their heads-the many
orphans who are totally depend
ant on their charity-and who,
were it not for the unremitting
attentions of the Board of Health,
would have languifhed and died
in want 1.-The approach of
an inclement feafon, will meet
many poor families unprepared !
but the fame benevolence that
upheld the ifranger, and provid-
ed for the orphan, will furely
extend its influence to the fup-
port of the unfortunate.
