vorahle Afpett Of the prevailing
difeafe being nearly exterminated
---yetit bchoves thofe inhabitants
who may have re moved, and
whole dwellings remain ihut,
to caufe them not only to be ef-
fectually funlgated, but white
walhed and aired, previous to
their return.-[t is uncertain to
decide what effect the prelent
changeab!e weather may pro luce
Hopes are entertained Of aeon
tinuance of the temperate, for a
few weeks; in which cafe, no
hazard can refult, by return Of
our friends & nelghbours.-This
would indeed be plealing, and
is devoutly wilhed--But-
whilif in the fervor of our hopes.
we contemplate a return OF our
former blei1ings, let not the opu-
lent-the benevolent forget the
numerous families who are de-
prived Of their hcads-the many
orphans who are totally depend
ant on their charity--and who,
were it not for the unremittlng
attentions Of the Board of Health,
would have languiihed and died
in want 1.-THE approach Of
an inclement ieafon, 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 tup-
port of the unfortunate.
