deaths have occurred from it, VIZ: Mr.. Tho.

Factory Machine shop. and negro woman

girl. the property Of Mr.. S. NJ. Jones. OF
the Washington Hotel. The negroes wer'
both living in Mr.. Jones' family. The at
tncks have been very violent, the patients
living but very few hours after being Ia
ken.
Mr.. Hilton, another Machinist, employed
q, the Factory Machine shop. is lying in o
very critical condition, and no hope is en-.
teriaincd of his recovery.
These are the only cases that have &C.
CURED in town, so far as we are advised
and it is huped as the storm has burst upon
US so suddenly and Unexpectedly. that it,
fury is already spen,,-which. may God in
his mercy grant.
