Yellow Fever at New Orleans

We yesterday visited the Charity Hos
pital, and, under the escort of one Of its
courteous officers, passed through the va.
rlous wards. We were informed that
there was at that moment at least eighty
cases Of yellow fever under treatment in
the institution, and that the cases had
been rap dly on the increase since Sun
day night. Blu, few of the cases which
came under our observation seemed to be
d virulent type, though mos, Of them
appeared to be in the earlier stages OF
the disease.
From well informed cources we are
told that the ratio Of cases in this hospi-
tai, is to those OF the whole city as about
one to two. Las. week there were, alto
gether, for,y-three ln,erments flom yell
low fever, making fraction over SIX per
day. We think that for the present week
the number Of n,crments from this cause
will prove nearer ten per day.-.E o.

Sfnguiar Orcourrcace.-The following is from

OF Mr. Jacob Reece. On the day Of his death
Mr.. Reece wa. engaged in seeding oats, and
towards evening was startled by voice, appar-
entity al his elbow, saying. "You may SOW but

that II was only imagiaation' and finding that
he had no fever, and did not complain of any
unusual indisposition, she induced him to return
to the field. There however, the same solemn
warning voice attended him at every step-sYou
may SOW, but you shall not reapp and in a state
OF extreme agitation. He again ceased work,
and went home, he took an early supper, was
shortly after attacked with swelling in the throat.

TnS MAN THAT SPOKE MExIcAN.-
Gen. Wool, the brave and heroic soldier
OF Buena Vista, is a strict discipIinari-
an. as well as gallant and accomplish.
ed officer. The following good 'un,'
which happened IN camp, must have ex-
cited the little general to high degree.
While sitting in his marque,, a Mexican
was ushered into his presence, whose de.
meanor denoted the importance of some
weighty communication he wished to de.
liver. The General does not speak Span
lsh, and his interpreter was sought in
vain. A long specimen Of a Sucker,
who, from the outer style Of his dress, the
General took, perhaps, for ranger, hap
pened at that moment to straggle past
Come here, my man. called out the
General. With perfec, nonchalence the
Sucker dofied his battered castor and en-
.eied the tent. DO you speak Mexican T.
inquired the General. why, General,
rather guess not Well, can you tell
me OF some one that doess 2 Yes, sir
eel jist can, answered the man.
Then let me know where he is,' said the
General. Why here drawled the
Sucker, laying his hand on the Mexican,
with whom it was desired to communi.
cate, me can't speak anything else.'

A correspondent Of the ST. Louis Her
aid records the following incident winch
occurred on the Alton and Chicago raIi-
road last ween
An old lndanian applied at the clerk $
office for ticket Tor himself and boy to
Chicago. The clerk made out the tick
cts and delivered them. When the con-
dnctor commenced collecting the tickets
he called on the old Hoosier, who presen
ted whole and half tickk. Who Is
this half ticket for ? he inquired. For
my boy replied the coun,ryman, at the
same time pointing to long lank looking
six foo,er, with huge pair of black whis-
kers. DO you call tina, boyr well,
guess he is my boy, aud I'd ike his
mother 10 hear you dispute it. A gen
eral laugh burst out among the ,assen-
gers at this remark, in which the good
natured conductor joined, as he gave the
old fellow Up for lard case.

From the Norwich lConn.J Examiner,
The Working of the Law.


From all parts ofthe State we have the
most cheering accounts OF the new Lii
quor Law, and of the dissemination Of
It's frinds TO secure for it a fair trial. Ar
rests or seizures have been made in
Hartford, New Haven, Norwich, Bridg-
port, Danbury, Wes,pos,, Norwalk, Wa
'erbury,, Welcottyille and Derby. Car
son leagues or associations involving the
same principle, are coming into shape all
over the State, TO give efficiency to the
law
A meeting of the citizens of Birmingham
called IN opposition to the law and to pre-
vent any appropriation of funds to fur
nish liquors for the town agent, resulted
Ia the adoption of the following resolu-
lions by an overwhelming vote:
Resoiced, tina. we hail the recent act of
our Legislature entitled An &C. for the
suppression of intemperance' as truly
democratic measure, beneficent in its con.
ception and wise in its details, and pledge
ourselves fully to carry out all it's provi-
sIons.
Resolued, That we have no sympathy
with the course pursued by many of the
towns IN our state, where, by inaction, or
facl,on opposition attempts are being
ma de 10 neutraleze some of the features
of the law.
RESOLVED, Tina, we approve OF the
course OF our Selectmen in promptly
drawing on the treasury fol the funds to
procure the legal sale Of liquors for med.
ical, mechanical and sacramen tal pur-
poses.
Resolved, Tha, all the officers of the
town whose duty i, shall be to prosecute
for violation Of said law, be requested to
use their utmost vigor and diligence in
the performance of those duties; and the
selec,men are hereby directed and author.
ned to draw upon the town treasury to
defray all the necessary cost Of such pros.
scutions, including the expense of coun-
sci when it shall be deemed necessary to
be employed by said prosecuting officer
The law appears to be thoroughly en-.
forced at Hartford, owing in par, per-
haps to the total abstinence zeal of the
Times. Indeed the paper has become so
severe against the sale of liquor even for
medical purposes that the Coa'ant advi-
SEES it to take the title Of The Hartford
Times and .fDti- .7lcoholic Fountain.-
For the two last Sunday nights in Hart
rord, the watchouse has been empty,
while for six months before there were
from xto ten arrests Oh Sabbath even.
ing. The Courdnt says, There is no
getting around the fac. that drunkenness.
and petty offences growing out of It, IN
this city, are fast running towards the
little end of nothing
