tained, and each performer well up
IN his part. Everything passed on
10 \ manner highly credItAble To the
young ladies and gentlemen who
participated In 1t, the former espec-
tally acquitting themselves IN man
ner which would have done no dis
credit to actresses Of much experience.
The tableaux were good, the music
excellent aud the singing splendid.
The entertainment lasted until y late
hour, when the audiences dispersed,
well pleased with The efforts made for
their enjoyment.
Mr.. Alternately has been engaged
for several years In teaching school In
his present location, near Old Antioch
Camp-ground, on the south side Of
the river, and has succeeded In estab-
fishing a reputation rs teacher, Mt
home and abroad, of which he may
well he proud. He has by his untlr-
ing efforts built up school here

ably known. His attainments and

fever epidemic there:
The recent rains troSts and freezes have
il seems, handled yellow Jack rather
roughly; AT any rate he has left us. and
without wishing to be considered inhos-
pitable, we hope he will never visit us any
more. We believe, in all seriousness the
mortality attending the late epidemic has
been quite unprecedented in the history of
the ravages of that disease. Let lis look at
facts. The number of whites in our TOWN.
men, women and children. all told-was
one hundred and fifty: the number OF
whites sick Of all diseases during the
prevalence of the fever. seventy-tour: and
the number of whites who died during same
time, twenty-three. Thus We see that about
half the white population were sick during
the epidemic, and of this number about one
in every three died.
Can the statistics of any town or city for
any period Of similar duration exhibit
greater mortality! The houses here are
is well ventilated: the streets have ever
been kept clean and will compare tavOrably
III this respect with those of any other town.
We suppose these to be good reasons why
epldenicS should not take fast hold of a
community. Now, if we consider that in a
densely populated city. the number of in
habltan.s III which is say ll0G bad the
numoer OF deaths been proportionate to the
population. the deaths would have been
1oo0o. 1t may be that We are thus afflicted
or chasten"d on account of our sins, but
truly We can dlNlne no other cause.
