Alarming Progress Of the Yellow
Fever over the Lake.

BY the arrival Of the steamboat Leno-

lowing particulars, for which We are in
deb!ed to passengers from the several
places:
CONVICTION.
In this town, which is situated in the
pine woods. there are cases of fever in
nearly every house. The ressiden, ply i.
sicians have mel with great success 10
their treatment OF The disease, and the
number III deaths is small, as compared
with the number Of cases.
JACKSONVILLE.
in This town the fever prevails to an
alarming extent, and there have been a
large number of cases-very many have
proved fatal. The arrival Ct DR.. Har,
and nurses. from the Howard Assocla
ZION, had in great measure restored
confidence among the citizens. aud we
hope to hear of favorable change in
the health of this town.
PINEY GROVE.
This place is situated some eighteen
miles back OF Madisonvile i; the road
leading to it is through pine county
nothing but piue trees to be seen. There
are about four or Fl we houses in the place.
Mr.. Perry. the postmaster, al old gen.
tlenan, 70 wears of age, recently visited
our city, and on his return to Piney

The fever has run It's course in this
place; there were only about thirty per-
sons remaining. A ply stefan from our
city had been very successful in his
treatments of the disease. ..... ....

GRAND GULF.

This town requires immediate assist.
arce; the distress and suffering are very
great. The only physician in the place
was down with The lever. There were
about 100 cases of fever and most of
them had no care or attention. Nurses
could not be had for love or money
Planters would no, allow their servants

our Towards will extend promp, relief
to this town. There were some. five or
six deaths daily, which is equal 10 dai

fever was still progressing; but, as The

A CHILD LOST IN THE WooDs-On Thursday
last, a little girl of the name of Mary Ann Egan,
only three years and three months old, strayed
from her fathers house, situated between this
village and Brantford, and not being found after
a digent search it was supposed she had fallen
into Whiteman's creek and was drowned Re-
wards were offered for the recovery of her body,
and the child was given up for lost. During
Saturday night dog went TO the house of
farmer in the township of Brantford, some dis
tance from the place where the child had
strayed, and barked violently at the door, aud,
having succeeded in awakening the family, was
driven away, but returned again and again,
the family so follow him, but NO notice was ta-
ken of his movements. In the morning the
farmer told his son to go into the woods and
search for sassafras roots, and in doing SO very
providentially found the poor little girl. She
was nearly dead from exhaustion, produced by
cold and hunger, having eaten nothing for three
days, except little grass. She is, we are hap
py to say, in q fair way of recovery. 1t appears
from her statement, that having disobeyed her
mother in some trifling matter, she was afraid
to go home, and walked on till she lost her way.
The dog found her, and licked her hands, face
| and feet, and laid by her to keep her warm
and but for the warmth derived frog this intel .
| ligent animal, she could not pc " have
| lived through an exposure Of three days and
| nights, during which there was severe hail
storm. This occurrence should be a caution to
parents not to threaten their young children
with heavy punishments, so as to frighten them
from returning home. [Paris Upper Canada)

WEAVING OF BRoCATELLEs.-ltis is said that q
factory at Humphreysville' Conn, Is the only
one in the world where silk brocatelles are
woven by power looms AT all other places
where they are made- the weaving is done by
hand, and, previous to the successful operation
of this establishment it was deemed impossible
to construct machinery ingenious enough to
weave in silk the complicated patterns Of the
brocateles, The use of machinery is the only
thing which enables American makers to conn
turers in the branch Of industry, as the foreign
establishments have greatly the advantage in
the cheapness Of labor. The artist employed in
this factory to execute designs and draw new
patterns ia one Of the best order, and va. sda-

The following sketch Of the editorial habits of
the editor of the Albany evening Journal,
Thurlow Weed, is from the Madison County
Whig.
Somewhere we have seen sketch of Weed
in his sanctum, as it was couple of years since.
A large, plain room, containing a few tables,
chair and a sofa, and separated by partition,
pierced with broad window, from the compo-
sing room, was occupied by him in common with
his assistants. No room could be less private.
Near one corner was the table of the editor, be-
hind pile of exchanges, cast aside and trampled
down by his feet, to keep them from overwhelm-
ing him and his table, Here he received calls
from State officers, members of the Legislature,
applicants for offices and casual visitors. In
the intervals of conversation he wrote his edi-
torials. Not hastily, as may be supposed, but
slowly, and with many erasures His accuracy
is the fruit of incassant care. He writes much,
but always with attention, and with more
| thought for his readers than for the unlucky
compositor who puts his articles in type. His
manuscript is combination of fish hooks, fiy-
specs, dashes and cork kscrews, which at times
defy deciphering and guesses, editor and COM
positor alike giving it up 1t is clear case
Of that easy writing which is hard reading
about o'clock his last article is in type
and corrested, and his work for the day is ended
Thenceforward he is at leisure, apparently rs
| fresh and vigorous as though he had not just
risen from seven or eight hours of the most ex-
hausting labor in the world

The Strike OF THE HOTEL AND BoARpTNe
HOUSE WATERS IN New YoRK-On Thuryday
morning, the 2lst inst, there was q great cou-
motion in the hotels, boarding houses, restau-
rants, eating houses and other places in New
York, in consequence of the walters strikine far
Slo month. 1t was in doubt for some time
whether or not boarders could get their break
fast, and the anxiety was general and l.Sii-
crous. Broadway presented an unusual apect
! the walters were seen rushing from hotels -
looms and restaurants in all directions The
stars and stripes were waving from the hotels,
Gin consequence Of the death of Vice President
King) from those where the advance had been
given we'll as from places where they had
been denied Such an unwonted display Of hags
led the people to suppose the hotels were in gem
| eral mourning in consequence Of the strike
| At the appointed time, the breakfast hour,
| the Irving hands repaired to their employers
/ and demanded S18. 1t was refused, and up
| wards of eighty colored and few white walters
| turned out, leaving only two colored and one
| white waiter in the premises. The same scene
| took place at the St. Nicholas Hotel, where the
advance was at first refused, but subsequently
given temporarily. At the Astor House and
NewYork Hotel the strike was general, but at
the latter place the proprietor told them that if
they would go to work and afterwards come in
dividually and ask for an advance, he would
give them what they were worth The poprie-
tors Of the Astor and Irving Houses, and
French's Hotel made similar offers The St.
Dennis Hotel refused to yield, and was determ-
ined to employ girls. The Union Place Hotel
and several others yielded temporarily, and
about twenty others agreed to give the advance
LoyeioY refused, and it is said the walters came
, back and agreed to resruuv mUTt.
The Tribune thinks the strike will prove det.
rimental to the walters, as several of the hotels
during the day had offers from large number
of boys and girls to take the places Of the men
The proprietors of most of the hotels who have
given the advance intend to discharge the men
in few days, and substitute females as waiters,
as is done extensively in Europe.
