Store OpeMi,sg.

Wednesday night about twelve
o'clock thieves broke into the store
Of Mr.. NJ. A. Dees, at this place,
and got off with about $50 worth
Of tobacco, knives, jewelry, etc.
They effected an entrance through
one of the front windows by I'M
%scrcwing a large bolt which held
the bar securing the shutter, after
which they removed the shutter,
broke a pane of glass, loosed the
fastenings over the window, and
entered. Mr.. Richard Ryder, in
passing, noticed the window open
and awoke the clerks, thereby dis
turbing the thieves, who made a
hasty escape. Had they not been
disturbed there is no telling how
much they would have gotten of
with.

For some years an old bear, who
is known to the citizens up the
Pascagoula river as Gen. Grant,
has been roaming up and down the
river, and has been chased many
times by the people in that vicin-
ity, but he has always managed to
escape without much damage to
his hide. On the 9th of last month

Irwin Roberts, e. M. Taylor and
Chas. Ravens started out to cap,
ture the general. After several
hours hunt. and when ut the head

Pr0SreSS OF the Fever ina that
PI0ce-.vSsNiber Of the
SICK and DEAD.

A friend writes, under date of
last Tuesday "No change for
the better; all seems against us.
Our noble hero-Dr. Harry--is
down with the fever; work and no
! rest rendered him a fit subject for
it. A nobler young man never
lived. VIII keep you posted.
Blackburn and son dead: two little
girls--Mollie and Fannie-very
low; the mother heart broken.
Four new cases since my last re-
port at the White House; another
at Maginnis', and Bishop Keener's
cook; Miss Dennison better; some
thirty odd cases under treatment;
the distress beyond pen-picturing;
will write you later; you know our
peoples situation"
A friend of the writer, a mem
Der of our medical fraternity,
makes the following remarks and
suggestions:
at is known, generally, that the
fever now in our land is not purely
yellow tever-a conclusion at
which our best physicians have ar
rived-it follows, necessarily, what
is it Some have answered the
question by saying it is a series OF
different fevers-bilious, malarial,
etc. AS this is not sufficient the
matter should be taken in hand
and go through an analysis. A
meeting of our best physicians
should be called, to which should
be invited the medical staff of the
West Indies, and then learn what
is yellow fever, its treatment, ETC.,
and what is this pernicious fever,
its treatment, etc, for judging By
the mortality of this epidemic u
physicians have worked nobly but
blindly."
"We have given this space
among these notes, as we deem the
suggestion not only worthy your
readers perusal but their consider
alton, and we trust it will meet
further notice from our medical
triends.n
LATER.
CDR. Harry much better; omit
ted to mention Mrs. Fryar and
daughter being among the sick.
Mr.. NJ. S. Parks child very low;
Blackburn's children improving;
SO cases to date aud thirty deaths;
ten negroes down and n death;
Maginnis doing well; Louis Ryan
and child very low"

Salem Cansf, Meeting.

The meeting Salem camp
ground commenced Thursday OF
last week, and the interest and
numbers steadily increased until
Sunday night, at which time the
largest gathering OF the occasion
was present.
Owing to the sickness through
ont the country, together with
the quarantine restrictions, there
were not as many in attendance as
in former years, yet there was
quite a crowd ; we presume about
two hundred and fifty being pres
ent on Sunday. The number Of
preachers in attend ance was some
what limited, still there were
enough to successfully carry on the
services. OF those present were
Reys, G. f. Thompson, q. w. Cal
lloun, Erwin Roberts, L.. H. hooerts,
Samuel Golf and John Brown, of
the Methodist church, aud 5. j.
Bingham, Presbyterian.
We met many of our country
frie nds, together with not a few
from Moss Point and vicinity, all
of whom seemed to be enjoying the
meeting very much. A deep, spir-
itual sentiment seemed to pervade
the gathering and nothing OF a
worldly character was manifested
which would disturb the meeting
in any manner. Taking everything
