Carr. MATTER looked like the

of the city Sunday leading two aged

HOUSE BURNED. A small wooden
house, occupied, and we believe owned,
1by Capt. Steve Mitchell, was burned
down in the northern part of the city
Tuesday morning. Capt. Mitchell
did not wake until the roof of the
house was about 70 fall IN. and he and
his wife, who vas sick, barely got out
in time to escape being crushed by the
falling of the roof. Only sewing ma
chine and Mrs. Mitcheil's trunk were
saved, but we learn that there was
some insurance. Gen. Neill, neigh
Dor. kindly gave Mr.. end Mrs. Mitch
ell shelter. We could not learn how
the fire originated.

THE LITTLE FOUNDING No MORE -
The little founding which was laid
upon the doorsteps of Mr.. b. c.
Wells's residence about two weeks ago,
and since that time has been tenderly
cared for by him, died after a briei
illness Tuesday night, at 10 o'clock. Il
was taken sick on Friday last, wher
DIS. Burt and Wooten were called and
did all in their power to save its life.
Its illness was caused, no doubt, by it;
early exposure, and the following is {
certificate regarding its death given to
Mr.. Wells:
AUSTIN, Ten, November 90, 1878.
This is to certify that a little in
FAINT about two weeks old, left in
charge of Mr.. B. G. Wells, died last
night at 10 O'clock probably from dis
case of the brain.
I. ID. WOoTEN, NJ. ID.
Mrs. Strawsburg, a very warm
hearted lady living on Hickory street,
was employed to take care of the babe,
and it is but justice to her and to Mr..
and Mrs. Wells to say that she per-
formed the part of mother. The
funeral took place Wednesday at
o'clock, when the little founding was
followed to the cemetery by Mrs
Strawsburg, Mr.. and Mrs. Wells and
others, and 1t now sleeps In peace, and
its little spirit is with the al!-wisS
being that called it from earth tt
heaven.

THE few Memphians who have been left
Dy the plague were much shocked by the
news circulated early yesterday that Rev. DIR.
George White, the venerable rector of CAL
vary Church, had been taken with the fever.
though well stricken in years he was a man
IF much vigor, walked with an elastic, steady
step, spoke quickly and generally impressed
nis hearers as man wonderfully well pre-
served. But his years are a weight to him in
l struggle against yellow-fever. So insidious
and uncertain disease requires, besides
great nerve, the vigorous frame of youth. 1t
like hoping against hope, therefore, to
think of his overcoming the plague.
And yet that is what not only the members
If his own church, but of every other, will
10. They will hope even against hope, and
pray that the life of the good old man of
God may be spared, so that for years to come
he may go in and out among the people he
has blessed so often and whose attachment
for him is bond as tender as any that ex-
lsts. DIR. White has been rector of Calvary
for over twenty-five years. In that time he
has shared with his people the horrors of
war, of three epidemics, and all the other trou-
bles that have fallen upon our unfortunate city
How much comfort he has carried to stricken
households, and how much good he has done,
his Pensioners all testify by their veneration
and respect for him. To them, the news that
he has succumbed to the fever, will be sad
indeed. Most of them are out of town, be-
yond any power to help him, and they can
only unite their prayers with those of their
fellow-citizens generally that their minister
may live to enjoy for years the respect of the
whole city and their love and devotion.

No man in Memphis has, during this cpl
demic, done more or better work than the
Rev DR.. Boggs, pastor of Second Presby-
terrain Church. Night and day he has been
on the move, going anywhere and every
where where he could do any good. Nothing
came amlss to his hands. He prayed or
nursed, counseled or consoled as the time
or place demanded. And he stood not for
calls. He went about among his people and
kept up with them. In the country or in the
city, it was all the same to him. Poor or
rich, they were all alike to him. He asked
no questions. He saw what was to be done
and he did it. He was the messenger for the
doctor or the medicines as often as anything
else, and yet he never lost moment as guar
dian of the orphans of the Leath asylum. His
many anxieties concerning them were those
of father for his children, and when the
fever made its appearance among them he
was one of the first to fly to their succor and
relief. He was vouchsafed just two day s
duty with the poor children, when he and his
wife were taken down, and he now lies pros
trate. Of course he has the best of nursing
care and the first medical skill, besides which
he has good constitution and brave heart.
We but voice the public feeling when we ex-
press the hope that he will get better and
that few weeks will see him restored to his
people, as active in mind and body as ever.

IT will be seen by the address to the peo-
pie of the United States and the world at
large, which we publish elsewhere, that the
Howard Association and Citizens Relief Com
mittee have received all the aid that may be
necessary for our sick and suffering until the
epidemic comes to an end. They have
enough and to spare. They have all that
they are likely to need and all that will be
needed by our friends and neighbors in the
country, who are just now suffering severely
from the fever. Thanks to the boundless
generosity and limitless charity of the north
ern as well as southern States, the great
commercial centers especially. We can
fight the battle without any further help and
can continue the help that for weeks we have
been extending to the villages and towns
about US. Yesterday we sent out fresh
supply of nurses, physicians, medicines and
money, and these will be continued from
time tn time until the plague entirely sub
sides, which, we hope, will be within the
next twenty days.

women and brave men, who come from far
Instant States and cities to nurse our sick
md try to rescue from the
very jaws of death our sorely
-tricken people. How black and hideous
such things look by the light of the human
lty, courage and tenderness exhibited toward
rs by strangers who leave all the endear-
nents of home, the delights of friendship
And the pleasures of society to brave the
hangers of the plague in the performance of
to them duty. These horrifying incidents
are few; thank God, very few; whereas the
noble examples of self-sacri6ce are so many

WE FEEL it our duty to warn persons who
have been out of the city for some time,
against returning. The reduction in the
number of deaths, which is a hopeful sign,
affords no warrant for exposure to the fever,
which most of our physicians hold is as viru-
leut as ever. Those who do overcome the
tears that drove them from the city when the
war began, and come in to brave a danger as
great as ever, are likely to meet with almost
certain death. They can do no good for
themselves or their fellow-citizens, but very
much harm, by feeding and prolonging the
plague. There is no business TO do and none
likely to be done for sometime, such as would
justify the slightest risk of health or life.

MAJOR POLLARD TREzHvANr died yester.

MAJOR POLLARD 1REZEVANT died yeSter-
day Of fever, after an illness of only few
days. Since the epidemic began he had been
working as Howard, never thinking of him
self and only intent upon the good he might
do. AS during the civil war he went to the
performance of his duty in a quiet,
unostentatious manner, SO during this more
terrible war he went through his district
every day, carrying suceor and relief to the
sick and distressed. Major Irrelevant, before
and during the war, held high official posi-
tions, but since has been engaled in the real
estate business. A member Of one Of our
most honored families, he owed nothing to
that fact. He made Himself all that he vas
by his own efforts, aid died. as he lived, an
honest man.
