THE YELLOW FEvER-For the twentyfour hours
ending Friday noon, the total deaths by yellow fever
throughout the city, as reported by the Board of
Health were 58-an increase OF u over the previous
day-and for the twenty-four hours ending Saturday
noon the number was 68-an increase Of 10 over
Friday. In the early part 0! the week the fever dc.
creased nOw in the last part of the week it shows
an increase This, however, we regard as one Of the
fluctuations which the fever always shows going up
and coming down by notChes. The fever, though it
shows increase in the latter part over the middle
part Of the week, is still declining on an average.
The deaths the previous week were 444. For this
last week they will hardly exceed 185. Yesterday,
all the returns for the week of the Board of Health
were received, with the exception of two small GEM
eeries, and the total 383. The returns of the
two cemeteries unheard from will not swell this
number any thing to speak Of.
