PNEUMONIA. This disease has for several months
prevailed in Petersburg and, far as we can learn,
throug hou the country, to unprecedented extent,
and with magnity and fatality unknown to
oldest inhabitants 1t has visited in the form of
an epidemic, and its ravages have been dreadful. We
do not believe that the Cholera, when it amongst
US, swept away many victims the terrible maa

rigorous weather the present has been. There has
scarcely been day since the middle of November
that fires within doors, and cloaks without, were not
indis pensabe. Although in the fourth week of the
Spring, we are yet without any of its cheering infu
