 .faeedote.-A highly respectable rem tleman in this city tells an anecdote of the times of the yellow fever, which is not out of season at the present momept. and may serveto illustrate the character of one who has claims on the kind re. menlbrances of our citizens.
 The gentleman (Mr. T.. had been in- duced, like most other citizens, to move hls family out of Philadelphia, to avoid the ravages of the yellow fever, which was then making fearful havoc. Pre- yious engagements, however, rendered Unnecessary for hin 10 visit the city al- most every day, and unfortunately, his presence was demanded in Walnut street, a few doors below Second. This was fearful neighborhood, as the fc- yer was raging in q shocking degree, in "Farmer's Row." leading from Dock street, only q few doors from his place of resort; For several days MT.

A short, thick-set man, stepped from tbe coach, and went into one of the abodes of wretchedness.
 Interested in the result of a movement involving such eminent danger, Mfr. I. pressed his campilorated hankerchiei closer to his face, and withdrew as far as he could, without losing sight of the carriage and the house. lis movement enabled him to look, though lroma dis tance, into the door of the tencment.- Shortly afterwards, he saw slow move ment on the Stairs, as ifsome person was descending with difficulty. No noise, however, was heard, nor did there appear to be any other movement ill the n, <<,, J, J,et.,..,.,.eb
