The Yellow Fever ScOurge.

Accounts from the stricken cities and
towns of the South state that there is no
abatement in mortality and that the epidemic
is spreading to places hitherto exempt. The
most affecting appeals for help continue to
come to us, and the accounts of the sights
and scenes at New Orleans, Memphis, Grcn'
ada and elsewhere are enough to soften the
hardest heart. Desoation and death reign
supreme, and the hoarse voice Of the driver
of the death cart is heard in the streets cry
ing, "bring out your deaf" 1t is gratifying
to know that the appeals of our brethren for
help in their dire calamity are meeting with
a generous response. Political animOslies
and sectional prejudices are to great extent
laid aside. and both the rich and the poor
contribute of their wealth or their poverty
to relieve the present distress.
In our own county the sum of S5G46G has
been collected, principally through the
churches. This shows well for our commu
nifty. But the need continuing, let the effort
in the same direction still go on. The fever
stricken cities have small hopes of IN abate-
ment of the scourge, until the cool weather
sets in and even then the wants and suffer
ings of many a bereaved household during
the near future will be terrible. Winter will
come on to stay the pestience, but it will al
so bring sufferings in It's train scarcely less
terrible than death itself. Business paralyz-
ed and the only dependence of many tami-
ly swept away, the destitution must neces-
sarily be extreme for months to come. So
let the good work of alienation of those suf-
ferings go on.
The concert advertised by our Masonic
brethren for next Tuesday night promises
much in this direction The community gen
orally are awakened to an interest in it, on ac-
count of its benevolent purpose, and no doubt
large amount will be realized for the relief
of the destitute and stricken. Let those who
cannot attend at least contribute something
to swell the fund.
