There was one thing very remarkable, and

In very infected part, and near house where

From these facts one thing is certain, either
that God wrought a miracle, in preserving the
lives of them whose duty it was to attend to the
sick and bury the dead or, that this fever is moi
infectious in the country. or where the air is
pure the doctors were about equally divided

Dreadful accidcnt-FOuT lives lost

While the workmen on the Central Railroad

cut north of oar Village, on Saturday last, "A
large mass of sand and gravel gave way and was
precpitated upon them, burying four from five
to six feet below the surface and nearly cover

fortunate companions could not be eXtrcated

left families who were wholly dependent upon
them for the ordinary means of support, At
this period Of sickness and distress, this fata
casualty appears doubly unfortunate
ltappears to us that those having the charge
of public works of this character should seldom
if ever, permit such accidents to occur. The
suffering they inilict is generally upon that por
