The people Of RayviIIe have every reason

if the fever should break out here; for we are
without n,edh'ine, nurses, supplies or money,
while we are GU, of from communication
with every place outside Of onr own parish,

is no doubt but that we would be deprived
Of even this limited communication. There,
fore, We cannot be too cautions in trying to
preserve the health Of our town.
