MoRTAL1TY-This city bas been entirely
free from epidemic diseases, and yet the oldest
inhabtant has never known it to be SO sickly
as it has been for the past two. months. The,
number of persons, black and white, who have
been in and around the city for some time, is
evidently the cause. The colored population
has trebled the former number. The number
of deaths among the citizens has not been exces-
sive, but one of the Quartermasters inform US
that the demand for cof6ns in his department.
for several weeks, has. averaged about 20. Most
of these have been blacks. Blacks who have
left their homes ard come to the city, living.
without employment and On such fare as they
get, have suffered terribly. In some instances
more than half of those who left their homes
have died.-Raleigh Christian Advocate.

A FAMILY or 'sSHAKERs.''-Thursday night
party arrived al the railroad depot from the
West, who excited the compassion OF all who
saw them, and the officers and employees of
the railroad company raised quite an amount
for their benefit. The family party numbered
nineteen persons, among them a father and his
ten children, and they were on their way from
Indiana to the neighbOrhood of Lynchburg, to
recover possession Of a farm which they had
sold, but had not received a payment. They
stated that they started from Indiana to travel
by wagon, but in crossing a bridge the wagon
broke through, killing the mother, severely in
jurIng a niece, and bruising others of the party.
After this mshap they took the railroads, and
on the way the entire party got the chills. At
the Baltimore depot Thursday the entire num-
Der were all shaking together. They took the
ton.

NATIVE ENTERPRIsE.-We have lust heard
OF the transfer of Il valuable piece of property
which, while il illustrates the rapid growth in
value of real estate in this city, gives evidence
at the same time, of the successful enterprise
of one of our young and energetic merchants
The lot of ground and premises on Pennsyl-
wanna avenue, between 9th and 10th streets, No
200, has been sold by its owner, Lewis, John
son, to John +. Ellis, for forty fire thousand
dollars
Mr.. Ellis started in business in this place
some ten Ortwelye years ago, and by his energy
and indOmitable perseverance he has amassed
means sufficient to justify him in making this
extensive purchase. He intends, we under
stand, to tear down the old building and erect
In its stead an edifice which, while it will BE-
an ornament to the city, will be worthy of the
very liberal patronage which he has receI we'd
from his fellow citizens. The whole building
will be devoted to the sale of music and pianos
He proposes to keep on exhibition in the second
story the largest collection of Chickering pianos
that can be found in any establishment in this
country, thus affording his patrons the amplest
field for the selection OF one of these magnificent
instruments.
1t is truly gratifying for us thus TO record the
success of one of our own native born mer-
chants. Mr.. T.. is a Washington boy; is vet In
the prime of life, and we trust that before his
hair has been silvertd DER with age, be may
have reaped an abundant harvest from his I'M
firing devotion to his Observation-Disclosures
