MORTALITY IN ATHENS, I'LL.

This town has suffered severely from cpl
demic, as to the nature OF which physicians
have disagreed, some calling il cholera, and
others ship fever. The Springfield journal
gives the following account Of the origin OF
the disease "Mr Saltzqntem, a merchant
there, received, as We have understood, one
or two boxes Of goods from Europe. They
had been expected for some time, and five
persons were present when they were open
ed. Every one Of these persons took sick
and died. The disease soon spread anong
those who attended them, and among others
In one family six persons died A complete
panic ensued; and we are told that more
than half the people are absent now from
town. Several valuable citizens have lost
their lives in Athens. The deaths are among
the adults, with one exception. We have De-
fore given their names. j. ii. Shepherd, ESD
was slightly sick, went to his father-ln-laEs
some three miles distant, and died. The CIR
cumstance created dreadful panic, and We
are told Mrs Shepherd buried her husband
with her own hands. Mr. j. X. Hurt, siier
leaving the corpse of a friend which he hau
prepared for burial, scarcely reached MS
home before he fell down and died in very
short time"
