The young man Ed Moore, reported two or
three days ago as having the yellow-fever on
the steamer Hard Cash. is doing very we'll,
as it turns out that he did not have the yell
low-fever. 1t was merely bilious attack,
and he is able to sit up.
In consequence of the fever, there are but
two or three packets running, and "Othello's'
occupation is pretty much gone with this
chronicler. We are here, though, and our
impecuniosity compels us to say-and we do
it with Spartan heroism-that we have come
to stay. This remark has no reference to
what the undertakes may have to say about
us.
