and showing tho deepest gratitude to all who ministered
in any way to her comfort. When the last hour arrived.

up her soul In the zenith of tho day, emblematic. as It

Gentlemen By circular of the I'D ult., you we're
informed of The temporary suspension of lectures at
the University, on account of the prevalence ofTy.
| phoid Fever and Measles. Two of those who were
sick at the date of the suspension, died. The re-
mainder have all recovered; and I have the ~satisfao-
ton of stating that not q case of Fever now exists,
| either at the University or In Charlottesville. Measles
| have also disappeared as an epidemic. Some spora.
die cases may exist In the peighborhood, but / have
no knowledge of any. During the suspension, the
various sanitary measures by the ply.
sicians to secure the future s~slubrity of the lnst,tu.
ton, have been carried out. The lectures will be re.
samed on the let of May, and continued uutil the
18th Of July, IA heretofore announced. In view of
he present healtbtuiness of the University and neigh.
borhood, and the sanitary measures that have been
put in execution, we have no reason 10 apprehend a
re-appsarance Of sickness, and we are persuaded the
students may return to their duties with entire satisfy.
Very respectfully, s. MAUPIN,
Chairman Of the Faculty.

to correct exaggerated tem which have gone
to some parts Of the country it is deemed proper TO
stats thar there have been between fifty and sixty
Gases of Typhoid Fever, and perhaps as many cases
of Measles, among the students, since the commence.
ment of the session. Eleven cases of Typhoid Fever
proved fatal, and three of Measles. There was also !
one death. early in the session, from PnerGonia-
making the total number ot deaths fifteen. Of theae,
twelve occurred at the University or in the vicinity,
and three ut a distance. The whole number Of students
curing the session has been six hundred and thirty
