THE EPIDEM.C-We have no
particular change to note in the
epidemic during the past twenty
four hours. The gradual dec g use
in the number of new cases and in
it's virulence is recognized by all
the physicians we have been able
10 see. In the thickly settled por-
tion OF the city we heard of but
very few cases, while most of the
old ones are doing well. In the
outskirts new cases continue TO be
reported, but generally of a mild
type. As far out as st. Vincent
Academy new cases were reported
yesterday. In fact the fever pret.
" generally prevails for four or
five miles from the river, particu-
larly on the main roads.
MASoNIC.-Up to this date
twenty-seveD persons belonging to
the Maconic fraternity have died
of the yellow fever.
The weather yesterday was
warmer than for some days past
and thick clothing was rather un
comfortable. The nights are cool
and comfortable.
The river at this point rose two
inches for the twenty four hours
ending at three o'clock yesterday
afternoon. This leaves the rive
six feet and eleven inches above
the lowest water of the past sea
son, or twenty feet and ten inche
| below the highest water Shreve
