STATE Or HEALTH.
WEDNESDAY, SSs7sxBsR 20, 1920.

DS ti.S DiSSSIijS VI LIVING l lpNitlc.IIC,
orr town his. during the present unusu.
ally warm season, enjoyed remarkable
health. So little sickness and so few
deaths have not been known Tor many
years past.
PtoO;dtnce has this season been visi-
ted with unusual sickness, and several
cases Of malignant or yellow fever have
been Officially reported, most OF which
have terminated fatally. Many reports,
undoubtedly much exaggerated, have
reached us, but knowing from exPeri.
encc OF times past, how much mischief
and anxiety hive been created, by pub
lishing idle tales, we have ycfralned from
noticing them. The official reports
from Providence of the last dates, en-
courage the hope, that there is now lit
tie or no cause Of a!arm--aEd we earn
esty hope the present cool weather and
rain win entirely eradicate the evil.
The last reports FROM PhAadelohia
state, that not j single case Of yellow tc-
yer exisIs in that city.
The public accounts from Sa70mGh
are more favorable t6an they have h!;her-
70 been-but we have received letter
from freud in that city, dated Aug.
80, which represents ti,c sickness as We
~ extensive and destructive to all ages,
sexes and conditions.
49, In our next we shall publish the
official statement of the num,er OF inhabi-
tants Of this town, which has been fur
pisir-d by the Marshal's Assistant, Mr..
ELNArHAX MANCHESTER. Ii WAS
received too late for publication this day.
WILLIAM C.. CORNELL, who WIS
sentencedi 10 be executed on the 28th OF
the present month, for the murder oI
William Kine. at Fort Adams, on the
eth July, 1910, has been respIIed for the
term OF sixty days.
The National AG0ocate, published at
New Yo'k, by N. pHILLIPs, Esq. and
edited by Maj Moan, has lately been
considerably enlarged and inpro.ed.
Tn!s paper is undoubtedly the most III
strncJve and entertainG paper now pfinled

experience and knowledge OF history,
