the disease has gained a sure foothold,
the cases of sickness and death are
constantly on the increase, and even
the physicians and nurses are becnm-
ing panic stricken in many cases.
The situation at Memphis is daily
growing worse, and from Grenada
come the most frantic appeals for
help. Cases are now reported as far
moth as Philadelphia, where two per-
sons are now lying sick, and Pitts
burg, where a death occurred Mon
day.
At Irasburgh, the 23d, in the Hayden
murder case, on motion Of Henry
Ballard, a hearing of respondents ex-
ception was adjourned till the general
term of the supreme court, to be held
in Montpelier, in October next. The
motion was based upon the claim that
sufficient time was not afforded re-
spondent's counsel to examine thor
oughly the testimony taken by the
state also that there was not major
ity of the full bench present, OCCASION
ed by the absence of Judge Barn EFT
on account of sudden illness in his
family. The court stated that they
had jurisdiction; yet as the case was
especially important, if respondent,
so desired, the hearing would be de-
ferred to the general term, and it was
so ordered.
Last week we had occasion to draw
attention to the deprodations commit
ted on the farm of Mr.. Dunlap at the
island, this week the misdoings OF
some of our people have been trans
ferred to the Island Pond Vegetable
Farm. Now it is time this was put a
stop to, and Mr.. Willoughby has in
formed us of two young men who have
been stealing cucumbers and have
brought them to the village aud ex-
changed them for tobacco. These
young men will certainly find ii to
their own interest to Immediately call
and settle with Mr.. Willoughby fol-
the damage done, and for the value OF
the goods stolen, or accept the conse-
quences, for he says he will take i'm
mediate legal proceedings against
them, as their names are known, and
he has witnesses to prove his asser-
ton; he further warns this class oil
people, that if any of them are caught
trespassing on his grounds after dark
he will have them arrested and dealt
with according to law.

Night Blooming Cereus Quite q
large select party assembled at the
residence of Mrs. G.. f. Horn last
Monday night TO witness the bloom
ing Of this celebrated flower, which as
our readers arc evidently aware only
blooms once year, and then in the
night time. The bud was not expect
ed to bloom quite as early, and as a
consequence many persons who had
intimated their wish to be present were
badly disappointed. TO those who
were present it was sight that they
will not soon forget. The Cereus com
menced to bloom early on Monday
evening, and when it was in the full,
it measured ten inches across and
seven and one half inches in depth,
the interior of the flower looking cx-
actly like magnificent ostrich feath-
er, the fragrance being especially
noticed. 1t commenced to droor
about midnight and closed up by 7
o'clock Tuesday morning. There is
another bud on the plant, and due no.
tice, Gf possible) as to about the time
it will bloom, will be given to those
interested so that they can have the
opportunity Of witnessing this truly
wonderful sight.

The mass meeting held at Associa-
ton Hall last Tuesday evening was a
decided success in every respect. AT
about Z o'clock the Island Pond Brass
Band commenced to play in front o.
the Hall, and by halfpast seven the
Hall was crowded. The meeting was
called to order by S. D. Hobson, who
first introduced Hon. A. G. Stafford
of st. Adams, who addressed the
audience at some considerable length.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Safford's re-
marks, the band played a piece, and
then the chairman presented to The
nesting, Hon. Lawrence Bralnard oil
st. Adams. Mr.. Brainard is one Of
those men who will hold the undivid.
ed attention of an audience, in cen.
sequence of his candid and unpreju-
diced way of speaking. He, having
a thorough knowledge of Mr.. Bar.
lows personal character, and having
known him for a number of years
talked intelligently, and knew where.
of he spoke. Nothing was said
against Mr.. CIRCUITS character, and
nothing of an unquestionable or un-
manly character was said. Three
cheers were given for Mr.. Barlow
and the meeting adjourned while th,
band played.
