Erskine was taken down to-day. Also Father
| McGaveny and Botel, of St. Peters parish,
There is great need for physicians and nurses,
our own physicians having more than they can
attend to, and many of the sick having to go
for days without attention of nurses. A ride
| through the districts where the fever is the
| worst draws forth many appeals to be directed
where and how to obtain the services of ply
stefan. AS result many do not receive medi-
cal attention until too late to save life. The
Towards employ five physicians, but sick calls
are more than they attend to. Two of our
practicing physicians have died with fever, and
five others are now down.

Deaths A. DIR. Warran Stone, who returned
from Port Eads on Sunday, leaves for Grenada
this evening in response to a call from the
Towards. The 1icayyne says: by private
letter it is learned that the fever plague at
lberville parish has largely increased, and the
people sadly afflicted, and they suffer chief
ly for want of physicians and nurses, and those
who in good health are mainly employed in
taking care of those who are down.
The Times says the strong sympathy shown
the North is something not to be easily forgot
ten. On every side we hear of the most noble
efforts being made to raise contributions in aid
of TIE afflicted. While the North with lavish
hand is soothing the fevered brow of Southern
ers suffering. she is building a monument of
gratitude which will be luminous for ever.
