THE PEsTILENCE.-We would
not wishto create any unnecessary alarm
in the breast Of our citizens, or to add to
the gloom which at present pervades
our community, but it would be both
useless and criminal to attempt to dis
guise the fact that terrible disease is
raging in a section Of our country,
which, whether contagious or atmos-
pheric, or both has been unusually ia
tai in its consequences.-The progress
of this disease seems to be marked
with some less fatality than when il
made its first appearance, which doubt
less owing to the skill of medical gen.
tlemen in attendance, as we'll as the
promptness withwhich medical aid wa:
sought and rendered intheFery first sta
ges ofthe disease as a case would occur
and we indulge the hope that its pro
gress may soon be meosurably, if no
entirely arrested, or It's violence abate
Still, however, new cases continue &c
occur-this awful minister of death
continues to hover over a portion o.
our community, and when OF upor
whom the next blow may fall, is be.
yond human ken.
The pesdlence, for such it seems &c
be, is as vet mostly confined to tbs
neighhorhood in which it originated
and may, in great measure, owe it
violence, if not its origin, to the exis
tence Of some local cause which ma,
have poisoned the surrounding atmos
phere, and we indulge the hope tina
ravages may not extend beyond VIVA

such is apparently Its propagating pow

may become impregnated with th
seeds of death, none can teH.-Pa11
