Quite AN excitement was produced in towr
during Sunday, by the announcement that Mr.
Collins child had been seized with the yellow
fever; and number Of families, fearing that
the disease might spread, left for the country.
No other case has been reported, and as the
season Is so far advanced we do not think that
there Is The remotest possibility of its becoming
an epidemic We ask attention to the follow
ine certificate, and our readers may feel assur-
ed that we viii keep them correctly Informed as
to the public health:
SHREVEPORT OCTOBER 10, 1854.

shat there is only one Of yellow fever in town,
and that we know ofno new cases. -a
