CITY INTELIJGENCE


The Small For. Considerable alarm has ex-
listed during the last few days, in consequence OF
reports that this disease was spreading in vari-
Gus sections Of the city. We learn from an au-
thentic source that there is no ground for such
alarm, as the reports are without the least
foundation. 1t is true that few cases have
occurred i'll the eastern section of the city,
among the most filthy portion of the Inhabitants,
principally colorcd persons. The disease does
not partake of a malignant type, and as the
Health Commissioners are asslduously engaged
IN adopting every necessary precaution to pre-
vent its spread, we feel assured that our citizens
may calm their fears. We wonld, however,
impress upon all the necessity of cleanliness
about houses, yards, alleys, lanes and cutters,
otherwise the present hot weather may engen-
der sickness and disease.
