Darius Brooks, carrier OF the
Appeal in South Memphis, is report
ed doing well. His mother is down
with q light case, and was doing
well yesterday. Last night little.
Katie, the only remaining member
of the family, was stricken down,
and now that household is but lit
tie better than a hospital. Com
petent nurses are in attendance,
and we hope all will recover.
Ed Schloss, who has done and is
still doing SO much good, informs
us that on the corner Of Main and
Huliug he found, last evening, a
little girl, NOllis Arnold, very low
of the fever, all the remainder Of
the family-father, mother, six Or
seven in all-haying died, leaving
this poor little girl alone in the
world, with only an aged nurse in
attendance, and in very destitute
circumstances. ai
The citizens relief committee
cannot be too careful in scanning
closely all applications for relief.
We have been informed By Mr. J
II Wenkleman, a most respected
citizen, that three negroes, who
drew rations from the cOmmissary
yesterday, sold them to parties re-
siding out on the fernando road
The negroes could not have beer
worthy objects of charity to have
thus disposed of the supplies fur
nished them.
In these yellow fever times, We
are glad to know that people are
coming into the world as well al
going out of it. Our young friend
George Bird, a typo, is the papa o.
a bouncing boy, and whether il
weighs thirteen or a hundred ant
thirteen pounds, George doesn'
seem to care. The young gentle
man came bouncing into the aren'
yesterday forenoon, and now al
parties are happy and doing well
including Uncle Fritz Fischer.
Like the leaves Of autumn falling
one by one, SO do our staunches
citizens yield to the storm. MI
