not been brought in. Hereafter shall publish them
daily.
This account shows a considerable increase the
mortality of last week and when full reports made
up ON Monday the increase viii be still larger
In another article have spoken of the subject Of
epidemic epidemic. We have nothing 10 add here
that topic which is merely question of definition.
The facts clear enough by whatever they may
be called.
The fever Ia undeniably the increase, but mainly in
the localities heretofore afflicted and has not spread
generally through the community the city Ac-
cordiDg to the usual computations of physicians who
reckon the Of these peslenta diseases by cycles
Of increase elimination and decrease the turning point
must be reached, and after next week, at fur
thest the number Of ought to diminish
But these analoges and specuations giving ground
for hopeful views, but they make rule which be
set forth grounds for confidence. The fever, whether
we call it epidemic not prevails, and is quite fatal in
certain localities of the city and may not be sure,
although may hope, that it will exhaust itself there.
In the time, perceive that the Samaritan So
ciey have commenced their work of benevolence and
making preparations to furnish aid to the sick poor
who constitute the great bulk of the subjects attacked
They always prompt to do good work at the call of
humanity and duty.
