Ague and fever are as rife here as in Peters
burg, in which city, the Index says:-"Chills
have become so prevalent, that it's nothing
unusualto observe persons on the street shak-
ing Withthem. We saw a man yesterday who
was almost bent double under the effects of
an ague He shook to such degree that. he
could not keep his hat on his head for half a
minute at time. He tried to sit down, but
he bumped up and down So heavily heavily that the
position was rendered one OF extreme personal
Inconvenience. If he Strengthened himself his
legs would dance jig. His breeches pockets
were badly torn from the effects Of the shake
while his hands were IN them. Ills nose was
of the temperature and color of clear piece of
ice and three of his teeth were broken by the
force of their chattering. His hair literally
stood on end as though each individual fament
