that if the disease was not erddlcated
there before it had time TO spread, It must
prevail to an alarming extent. Such |
learned this morning was in fact the case.
A gentleman informed me today that he
was a, H-'s store last night, when he
was informed that there was sixty cases
in the Pest House. The same gentle
men told me that they had erected one
or two tents by the Pest House, and had
still to enlarge, or make other arrange

occupation of the Fair Grounds. but OBJ
jections being raised, they determined to
procure the Race Field building, and

made by that paper:
We are indebted tie George w. Beards-
o. of tbs city. (the discoverer for the
requisite quantity Of material for This pur-
pose. Ii is nearly so equal to the best paper
used for news purposes, that any word Of
apology FOR what slight defects the craft
may discover in it. seems superAueus aud
unnecessary. In justice, however, to
Mr.. Beardsiee, it is proper 10 say that in
producing the Pulp, he has been obliged
TO use our City Water. which. for several
weeks past, owing TO the Spring .haws
and rains, has not been as pure as water
should be for such a purpose. This is
the cause of the petcep,ibIe yellow tingc
That 1t is not attributable to the stock
used is abundanily demonstrated by the
perfect whteness of small parcels Of pa
per made by filtered water.
Printers may also observe slightly un.
usual harshI ess in tie paper. BY later
experiments. Mr.. Besrdslee has entirely
obviated his objection. He IS produced
specimens OF almost every degree of nexi.
bili.y-from blotting paper to paper Of
the harshest linen texture.

upon the Fourdsrnier machine of thu

they have % chserfully aEosded him dur

MIR. Bssrdslee has been equally sue
cessful in his experiments With White
wood, Spruce and Buckeye. From each

paper He has also worked up pulp from
Pine. Cedar and Hemlsck. and il possess
es oil the good qualities Of Tat secsrec
from other woods.
He has also produced. from these sev.

manufacture Of paper, which cannot be
reached by wood, whether il be in the
