the year, the enemies Of Richmond are busily en-
gagged in circulating false rumors about the preva
lence of diseases In this city, Thts annual cry
has become so stale that we wonder any sensible
man can give ear to It. We have made frequent
Inquiries Of physicians. and, as far as We have
been enabled to ascertain. Richmond wss never
more healthy in summer than at prepenk Stua-
ted - our city is upon number Of hills, and en-
nrely free from marshes or low places, with the
best water 10 the world, we do not see how con.
taeious disease Of any kind could fad . resting

tention to the idle rumors that may reach them IN
