TYPHOID FEYER.-We understand lsayS the
Danville Republican, that the Typhoid Fever in lis
most malignant type, has made its appearance at
several points in the adjoining county of Halifax,
within the last three or four weeks. In several i'll
stances il has proved fatal in 4 very few days. Yari-
| ous noighborhoods have been severely %scOurgcd by
liz ravuCcs. In several instances II has also proved
fatal i'll Pittsylrania. SO far Us we have been able to
| learn, i'll almost every instance 1t develops Iiscli III
the system of the patient after Il severe attack Ut
dinrrhun, when it is least prepared I" withstand the
ruvagcs of such Il malignant and Nirulrni disease.
DROWNED.-The Danvile Republican states
that on Friday last two ~Iri-hm"n, employed on ma
sonry near Rccdy Bottom Ferry, on the Richmond
