to learn that this scurge has exhibited itself on
Crosse Tete Bayou, about twenty-five miles
nearly due North from this place and that a
son and daughter Of Mr.. Ursin Daigre, and

that it may extend no further among our
friends on the bayou. We learn that several

through this place on their way up in that

opinion of a physician Of this place that they
had thus conveyed In their clothes to Mr.. D's
