The SICK NESS At pERRYylr1E.-So far As
VIC are able to learn the sickness which has
afflicted the village of Pcrryvillc, has been
as nearly like the Yellow Fever as like the
Cholera. All the fatal cases were attended
with the black vomit, which we have not
known to be one of the symptoms of cholera
But whatevcrit may have been it was cqnally
fearful with either Of those diseases.
Beside the Raisin family there have been
three deaths there: James Kcnneday, who
has been employed there for number of
years by the Railroad Company, and n color
cd man and boy. Kcnncday died on last
Saturday after one days sickness.
Nearly every person has frd from the
place and there are no more new cascs.-
John Stump, Esq, whose farm adjoins it has
removed his family to Elkton.
The Railroad Company who owned the
house where Raisin lived and that where the
blacks who died lived, have caused both to be
burned, and have filled up pool of stagnant
water, in order to stay the infection. This
pool which was dug for an abumcnt of the
proposed bridge and driven full of piles which
were telmcnting and oozing from the ends,
is supposed by many to have been the prin-
cipal cause Of the sickness
