Yellow Fever.


 The yellow fever has made its ap- pearance in several localities, and the mortality is greater than in previous years, in places where it is now rag ing. The New Orleans Crescent of q late date says:
 .''rhe total number of deaths from all causes during the week ending yes terday was 2SI, of which number l29 were from yellow fever, showing an increase in the number of deaths from this disease of iifty-seven over that of the preceding week. The cholera has nearly subsided, there being only three deaths from it the preceding week. During Saturday and Sunday there was decrease in the number of deaths from yellow fever. This fact, how ever, is no indication that the disease tselfis on the decline. Wewere in formed Saturday, by the best authori- ty, that though mortality had fallen of, yet the number of deaths from all causes during the month of August was l,039, an increase of 4SS over the mortality of July. Of this mortality during August, 255 were from yellow fever and thirty-nine from cholera.
 The Crescent adds: M
 ''The state of affairs at Corpus Christi and Galveston had not improved at latest advices. The mortality at the former place has been terrible, and the village has lost many of it's merchants, professional men, and other respected citizens. The scourge has visited near ly every family, and sorrow pervades every household"
 The same paper of the 2d inst, also states: In Pensacola, Fla, the mor- tality from yellow fever is rather in- creasing, the deaths averaging some three or four per day, while numbers are sick. Hundreds have fled from the city, camping in the woods or residing with friends in the country. The pop ulation has been reduced to about twelve hundred souls. We have not heard of the death of any of the old citizens, the disease seeming to confine itself to recent arrivals and transient visitors
 The Indianola (rexas) Bulletin of the 29th ult., says:
 ''The latest accounts from Corpus Christi state that the fever still pre- vails. The number of deaths up to the 27th instant was one hundred and fifty. It is said to be gradually abat- ing. Considerable yellow fever is in Victoria, to what extent we have not heard. Texana has suffered consider ably rom the yellow fever. We had no particulars from there.'
 The Nieksburg Telegraph of last week has the following
 The weather for several days has heen ominonsly suggestive of yellow fever the Wini comes from the North laden with damp, chilly feeling, all ways predisposing 10 sickness at this season of the year. Although WIG are yet exempt from the fatal malat,ies, the utmost care will be requirrd to pass through the ides of September free from the yisitations of bilious and yell low fever. As we write, the drizzlins of the rain reminds US of the weather we had in 1858, whcu the epidemic ragged in it's terrible frenzy in the city and country"

For restoring hair upon bald heads, (irom whatever cause it may have fallen out) and forcing growth of hair upon the face, it has no equal. It will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest face in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon bald heads in from two to three months few ignorant practition- CTS have assorted that there is nothing that will force or hasten the growth of the hair or beard. Their assertions are false, as thous- ands of living witnesses (fron their own ex- perience) can bear witness. But many will say, how arc VIC to distinguish the genuine from the spuriouss It certainly is difficult ss nine-tenibs of the different Preparations advertised for the hair and beard are entirely worthless, and you may have already thrown away large amounts in their purchase To such we would say, try the Reparator Capilli; it will cost you nothing unless it fully comes up to our representations If your Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid, together with re- ceipt for the money, which will be returned you on application, providing entire satsfac- ton is not given.
