Health.

The general health of the town and vicin-
ity continues excellent. This seems to
confirm the old Creole saying that an over
flow is beneficial to health. The weather
has been uncommonly hot and dry since
the flood, for the month of May and bowel
diseases, fevers, and like ailments would
seem to be very natural consequences. But
not even those who have returned to their
homes appear to be suffering from sick ness.
There seems to be two tales in the Intelli-
gencer's mouth. On the 22nd nlt., the
editor was Satisfied from an examination
of the Registration, that the Republicans

the editor was insloriously beaten, he in
forms the Homer Had that "it was evident
to those posted on the politics of the regis
tered voters, that the Republicans, giving
them the benefit Of all doubtful voters, only
had a majority of perhaps ten in the city"
