The Board Of Health beg TO call
attention Of the public to the official list
Of new chsee Of this disagreeable dis
ease published in the morning papers.
II will be seen that the number Of
new cases IL by no means so great as for
the preceding twenty-four hours, and
the endemic may be said to be on the
decline.
The board have been actively engaged
in both fumigating and ventilating the
headquarters whence the disease ema-
mated, and 1t has ordered each Of the
quack doctors In attendance on the sick
to wear lump Of assafGtida around his
neck, in order both to purify the wearer
and warn off those who may be subject
to the disease. The care-worn and anx-
ious expression Of countenance Of those
practitioners IL easily recognized by
those accustomed to seeing such endem-
ics, but for the uninitiated the assafG-
tfda Is thought TO be necessary MS u

measuring 1879 feet in length and weigh

the Captaiu's intention to tame this fish
or snake, and use it next summer in
towing tlntboats on Bayou Lnfourche
from Thibodaux to Jockport. 1T Is
estimated that his snhkeship will tow
with ease eight or ton fintboats Of forty
tons capacity each. Should this motive
power prove q success, Capt. Dalfereg
will turn his attention to the Rars and
large cats In the bayou, and train them
for towing purposes, so that, no matter
how low the water may get, the citizens
Of Bafourehe will have safe and sure
