tsignedl JOHN VAN HORNE.
Greenville Is located on the Mississippi
river, IS miles from New Orleans, and can
only be relieved from that city by special
boat. 1t is without railroad communication,
and through boats will not land at infected
towns. Though isolated and unable TO make
its wants known, it is to be hoped Greenvile
will receive sufficient aid to warrant the
Howard association of New Orleans in send
ing another boat this week to Greenyllle
with an additional supply of nurses and hos
pital stores. The majority OF the inhabi-
tants of Greenville, to the number OF several
thousand, are in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the town, and it is greatly to be
feared that the pestilence has spread into
the surrounding country which isdependent
Ice and other assistance. Aid for the town
of Greenville should be sent to the Howard
association of New Orleans with Instructions
that il is for the relief of Greenyille. The
following are the names of few of the per
sons who have recently died at Greenville:
Judge N ]. Nelson, Abe Smith, old Mr..
Morris, Columbus Heard, W. Z. Kietchman,
cashier, Miss Helen Finlay, Mrs. Hasberg,
Ralph Marshall. Mrs. Kietchman and
Nancy Hassberg are reported recovering.
