III The Norfolk Herald speaking of the pro-
ress of the fever, says I'VE have observed
ia nrogress of the disease now prevailing in
&ur city and remark ed two important points;
Il ~st that no case has occurred N. of Main
which was not traceable to the infected
&ortion of the city lying South of that street;
3 nd that the deaths have been almost exclu
&vely of strangers and persons not acclims-
- Among the old residents there has been
