our esteemed fellow-citizen, John Nc.
Qasde, Esq, died Of yellow fever while
on her way to Chicago to escape the pes
thence at home. The symptoms exhibit
cd themselves on board the steamer on the
route up the river, and although there
was a skilfnll physician on board who
did all within bis power for her recovery,
she fell a victim to the disease, the seeds
Of which must have been planted in her

sympathy is expressed for Mr.. McQuade,

beyond reach Of danger, he advised a

on the way the relentless destroyer over
took her, as il resolved not to be cheated
OF a victim. May she rest in peace

the sBaton Rouge Fair grounds. The
erection of sheds, stands, etc, is pro
crossing with vigor under the direction
Of the building committee. The action
Of the Board Of Selectmen at its meeting
last Saturday. was highly creditable in
issuing bonds Of twenty-five dollars each
bearing six per cent. and receivable for
taxes, amounting in all to one thousand
dollars, that sum being the donation by
the city to the Fair Association. This,
with the sale Of tickets and private sub
