The little Girl mentioned in these dis

rntiin. made :, shroud for her dead mother,
and nursrd other sick ones in the family, is
NOW dylnr of the fever. One man, while
1yinr sick. was robbed Of all his money by
the brute who was nurSlng him. One
wealthy man fled from his son, who was ly-
in, Frustrated with the fever. Two nurses,
while supposed TO be attending sick persons,
GOT bcsStly intoxicated, and were expelled
from the house by the neighborS. AT the
La S,lettc Academy, where Fathers Casey
and DALEY died, five are now reported SICK.
Father U'Brien, Dominican priest, was
taken on Tuesday evening and died to-day
l, is extremely difficult TO obtain report OF
the number of deaths daily. The four un-
dcrtakers in the city are busly and constant
Il engaged. and funerals have none OF the
order and deeoruln usually considered as
due TO the occasion. People die faster than
,ncv can be buried. Hundreds have dled
unattended. it is known that bodies
have laid uncared for until partially de.
composed, and at one burial-pace the stencil
arising from the cotfius awaiting interment
j. horrible. People not here can form no
idea of the dcpiorable state OF affairs from
written descriptions of the frightful condi-
tion Of the CITY, 1t must be seen to be fully
realized Those who wish to place their
money where suffering will certainly be
reached. and the funds iudiciously banded,
can do no better than to send il direct to any
Of the clcrgj men here. They are all trust
worthy men, and can bc depended on. Some
Who have left the city 10 escape disease are
sick in the country; among them Mr. Whit
more. Of the Ere,tHg Ledger, who went TO
Brownsville. sixty miles distant. where lie Is
now Frustrated. II. II. Littlcton, a promi-
ucnt Insurance agent, died ut Coyln@ton,
forty miles from here. The steamer CiarkS.
