MILWAUKEE,, WIS, September 23.-Please
publish the following dispatches, the one
from the general superintendent of the Union
telegraph company explaining why Green
vile, Mississippi, is cut off from Geographic
communication, and relieves Vicksburg Of
all responsibility in the matter. The dis
patch from A. B. TrigG, mayor of Green
Vile, was last heard from there. Mr.. Tugg
Is reliable and responsible, and it is hoped
his call for help will receive the attention it
deserves:
GREENvIII.E, September II, 1878,
c. P Hunting, Milwaukee:
We need all the assistance we can get
Our expenses are heavy. The pestilence is
raging. A. B. TRIGG.
NEW YORK. September 23, 1873.
c. P. Hunting, Milwaukee:
We are very short of help at Vicksburg.
Flippin has been alone two weeks, but the
principal difficulty in the way of doing
Greenville business has been in bad con-
ditlon here. 1t will not work throughout the
country, for the people will not let the re-
pairer go to repair. JOHN VAN HORNE.
Greenville is located on the Mississippi
river, ffty-fve miles from New Orleans, and
can only be relieved from that city by a
special boat. 1t is without railroad commu-
nication, and through boats won't land at in
fected towns. Though isolated and unable to
make their wants known, it is to be hoped
Greenville receives sufficient aid to warrant
the Howard Association of New Orleans
in sending another boat this week to
Greenville with additional supply of
nurses and hospital stores. A majority
of the inhabitants of Greenville, numbering
several thousand, are in the neighborhood of
the town, and it is greatly to be feared that
the pestilence has spread into the surround
ing country, which depends on the town for
doctors, nurses, medicines, ice and other
assistance. Aid for the town of Greenyille
should be sent to the Howard association at
New Orleans, with instructions that it is for
Greenville. Judge N. ]. Nelson, Abe Smith,
old Mr. Morris, Columbus Heard, w. R.
Ketchum, = Cash, Miss Helen Finley, Mrs.
Harberg, Ralf Marshall, Mrs. Ketchman and
Nancy Hasberry are reported recovering.

An Epidemic fin Sfichirau.

CINCINNATI, September 18.-A special
dispatch states that in the lumber camp of
Wells & Co., near Elmore, Montgomery
county, Michigan, an epidemic has been rag
ing among the men for week past, which
DIR. Levaly pronounces black jaundice or yell
low-fever. One of the men, Thomas M CURE,
was taken, and, as no one would nurse him,
or give him medicines, the unfortunate man
was soon delirious. None of the citizens of
Elmore would receive him in their houses,
and the patient was placed under tree in a
drenching rain, and soon after died from the
disease, which the doctor says was clearly
yellow-fever. The remains were placed in a
box and buried under the tree where he died.

aBEARLYn EscApEp.-A

CLEARLY" EscAPED.-A crew Of
Clarified creek raftmen encountered a bit Of
romance on Sunday, April 2sth, in the vicinity Of
Three Runs, In Karthaus township. They " hug
ged a point" . little too close on the right hand
side Of the river, above The first run, and so
wrecked their raft that they had to "tic up " for
repairs. Amer having consumed about half n
day in this way, one OF the men went on shore to
unite the cable, and, bearing a rustling among
the leaves, he turned his eyes up the side Of the
mountain, and there espied three black bear cabs,
and he Immediately called on bis two comrades
to assist In capturing them. lie " sailed in =" and
gobbled up one Of the cubs, and put for his raft
with his prize, It yelling with all Its might until
he reached the shanty, where hs dumped it in.
His comrades succeeded in capturing the other
two but their cries brought Mrs. Bear to the
front, she taking q position between them and
tho river, and afterwards made for the party with
her mouth as wide open as the door Of their
shanty. The raflmeu dropped their prizes on the
ground, in the presence Of Mrs. Dear, and then
took refuge behind a tree for half an hour, all
this time clsudsstinely eying the happy family.
II was a long half hour for the kidnapPers. Fin
ally, Mrs. Bear and hertwo cubs moved up along
the shore a short distance, and one Of the raftmcn
yelled to bis comrade on the raft; " Unite we're
coming |" The command was obeyed, the men
on the shore making the fastest time on record,
and when they jumped on the raft, Mrs. Bear was
only about fifty fee, behind them. The two cubs
set up a squall, and the mother turned back to
look after them. The raft, In the meantims, with
one cub aud crew, glidod down stream out Of the
reach Of danger.
The captured cub wss on exhibition at the

A LOCAL INcIDENT.-The Virginia
Slave Cabin Singers, a troupe Of negro minstrcls'
gave a. concert in Arnold's Hall, curwensyille,
last Thursday a week, and the editor Of the Times,
in abiding to the performance, says
A very plea SAINT incident occurred Immediately
after the concert given by the Virginia Slave
Cabin Singers. IL carries US back to the days Of
slavery. One Of the bass singers, Philip Free
man, but known years ago us "Ned," when In
slavery, was accosted by Mrs. /. D. Segner, who
formerly lived in North Carolina. with why,
Ned, how did you get up here = Ned, taken by
surprise, hardly knew what to say, but his joy at
meeting his old mistress was unbounded. His
faithful old face, black as ebony, shone with pleas
ure, aud he greeted his former mistress in true
negro style. Years ago, Mr. Stevenson Mrs, Seq
ners former husband, but long since deceased,
bought Ned and presented him to his wife for her
special use, and tor many years be was her faith
iul and devoted body servant but the yicissiiudes
Of the war freed Ned from bondage aud separated
mistress and servant. Now, after nearly fifteen
years of separation, they are thrown together as
II by chance, but not as mistress and slave. Ned
is fast growing old, and through his curly, black
hair are seen emblems of ageduess, and his former
mistress is well over on the other side Of life. Per-
haps their next meeting place will be beyond
the river," In that land where all are equal and
the faithful servant will roap his reward.
Mrs. segner is a sister to Messrs. Benjamin and
Jonathan Ilartshorn, who we're alsays lealous
ANTI layeryii es. This incident goes to show
just how far local and self-interest will control
conduct and views Of families.
