SIcKSEss.-The past season has teen one with
out precedent for sickness and distress in the west
ern part OF this county. Deplorable scenes have
been presented wh5re whole families have been
stricken down at once, unable one to help the 9TH
err. The sickness has been principally in the vicin-
ity of Copneaut Lake, the Reservoir at HartsiowD,
and the Canal, and is supposed 10 have been caused
by the vapor arising from the great quantities OF de-
cayed vegetable matter exposed TO the action oil me
sum- Several thousand acres OF land is alternately
inundated with water and exposed TO the air; and,
az long as such is the case no remedy for the de-
plorable evil can be looked for. great number OF
deaths have occurred, and il ia Estimated that not
more than out of every ten OF the inhabitants OF
North Sheuango, Summit, Salisbury, and West Fal'
low field townships have escaped the epidemic
Fears are apprehended that the prevalence OF this
sickness will in few years depopulate entirely this
rich productive, and beautiful section of country.

murder has been perpetrated but nothing has yet
transpred TO lead TO the discovery of who the MUIR
