Mr.. r. D. Black writes from Greeneville
TO the Knoxville Chronicle under date Of
the It'll inst. as follows: "a little gloom
is thrown over us to-day by the sudden
death of Mr.. Vol. res, who was taken
last night, o. rather early this morning. He
died at 5 Pm. He has been engaged in
the Clerk and Masters office here for some
time, and being born and raised here, was
well known throughout the country. He
had not felt well for a day or two, but ike
too many others, neglected his case until be
was violently taken. 1t soon became sp-
parent that he was beyond the reach OF
medical aid. He sank rapidly, and lay for
several hours in an unconscious state. In
INV report last night stated that Maj Tenn
DIES daughter died yesterday. Ii was has
sister, a maiden LADY. | aIa sorry that L
was led into such ali error, IS have tried
to be particular in reporting, and up to this
time had been perfectly correct. There are
vet few lingering cases thai seem to be
doing pretty well"

Ssorst is over, and that there will be little
or no more trouble in our midst, Oh how
we shouId rejoice TO feel and know that al
had passed. This morning We learned tha'
Mr., Carson, of this place, died at Morris

There aIe now about 400 people In our
town, and there never has been less than
80, including always, about thirty white
families. The corporate limits are restrict
ed, and our population, in and out OF the
corporate limits, may be Estimated at about
fifteen hundred. The prospects to-day
seem brighter. TO use the expression OF
one who stood it through: "There IS iniee-
ton but no epidemic" Many families in
tend to return Gext week.
The Knoxville Press and Herald Of the

miles from the city, another Of the Lester
children died last Wednesday night, making
five deaths among the two families OF If
teen persons domiciled in the camp. This
is an exceedingly heavy mortality, and
shows that the disease share was Of the
most malignant character. 4 white woman
named Sallie McNutt, employ d as SER

morning, of q bowel complaint, after sick
ness Of several days, during which she is
said to have neglected the attack in its early
stages"

yesterday morning, and 6 fatal case also Oe-
CURED at NorristCwn. In the vicinity OF
Rheatown there is a great deal of sickness,
very. similar to cholera. Several cases have

among US, rot a single des'h has occurred
in this county from The f'preVailipg disease"
as vet, Almost every family in tie toEn
and country are afflicted with diseases OF
the stomach and bowels, and some cases
are attended with most or all the symptoms
of cholera. In aluGgt every case where
the symptoms have been SlGrmiDg, il could
be traced to imprudence 10 eating. Our
people are ia :. constant dread, and this may
drive them TO the use of such measures as
will keep of the disease. We have had no
rain for few days, and the last few bright
days ar favorable TO health"
