We are pleased to state that DR. Ashton
having fully recovered from the yellow
fever. has resumed his practice.
Travellers by the stage from here O
Monroe must meet with rather rough treat
ment on the route. We understand some
of the towns have auarantined passengers
by the stage, and keep guard at the out,
skirts Tor the purpose of making travellers
get out and foot it around, to meet the
stage on the other side
We are pleased TO learn from DR. Davis
the attending physician, that he consider.
MIR. +. j. Aycocke out of danger, and with
proper caution will recover. This is enc of
the most remarkable cases Of the epidemic
to recover, his life having been despaired OF
many days. Black vomit was thrown up
for some time, yet he is now in tair way OF
recovery.
An attempt at burglary was made on the
railroad depot Friday night, without much
success however While the Waterman was
on his rounds among the cars standing on
the track party broke into the warehouse
on the lower side, and when he returned

He discharged two shots, " hich the bur
glars returned. and then made OFF withou,
the sack of coffee. Nobody hurt. We did
not hear of anything being missed from the

Charles Wolff jr.. who died in this city
on Friday. September %. 1873, of the pre-
vailing epidemic. though comparatively q
new conner among us. had endeared himself
to all with whom he came iu cOntac: by his
many good quali:ies, and his demise is uni
vsrsAlly regretted. AT the breaking Out Of
the fever. and up TO the time he Was taken
down, his whole time and means were free
ly given 70 the nursing OF the sick, the sue
cor of the unfortunate and the last sad OF
fees to the dead. Not satisfied with this,
he generously rendered TO our Howards
beds and bedsteads for the use of their hos
pital, without money and without price. and
for which vote OF thanks was rendered
him by that association. Young, ardent
and impulsye. he fell in the midst of his
noble work and hi. good deeds do follow
him. He has bu. added another 20 the long
list OF martyrs to the blessed cause Of .uf
fering humanity. EndeaTed 60 . host of
friends here. his memory will ever remain
green with them. and they will long cherish
hi, many sterling qualities. Thus has fallen
one of Shreyeport's most active and enter.
prisins business men, and in his death Gin
cinnati has lost q bright and promising son.
The New Orleans Pc0y,,ne has inter-
viewed Mr. Z. L. Fisher III the matter of
the Shreveport epidemic, and the result is
a quarter of a column OF stuff in which We
fail to find a single fact. Who Mr.. Z. l..
Fisher is we don't know, bus when he
states that those of our population who
have remained here keep at home. being
afraid to approach the sick" he states what
is untrue. SO tar from deserving the sick
from fear. or any other reason. the people
who have renamed here have been with
them day and night. In the care of The
sick every avocation has been abandoned.
and the roll of the people Of Shreveport
who have nursed or are nursing the slck
would include nearly every man, woman
and child in the city.
The ladies. old and young. have beea
found at the bedsides of the sick Of all
classes and a: all hours. and we know OF
but few il any of our men who have shirked
the duties that were incumbent upon them
in this terrible time. We have appealed
to the country Coz aid. but not for aid 20
cover our own derelction of duty; We have
asked tor aid because there are not enough
of us, and Wa have not means enough to do
for the sick all that is required 10 be done.
The other statements of Mr.. Fisher have
about as much truth in then. as this one.
and we hope our contemporary viii! not
again allow itself TO be IMPOSED upon by so
ignorant. frightened or mendacious an in.
forInant az the redoUbtable Mr.. Z. l..
Fisher.
