tined.
The merchants of st. Louis have
met and agreed not to permit the
shipment of any goods to the south
that may have been sem out of the

1t was a false alarm about the rail-
road bridge across Nonconnah being
destroyed. Trains run south over the
Mississippi and Tennessee railroad. as

very little business is transacted, and
it is expected that regular trains will
shortly be suspended.
At the st, Peters church, yester-
day, the Rev. j. A. Kelly united in
wedlock Mr.. Richard Eustace and
Miss Mary flanagan. The welded
pair left the CITY in the evening to pass
the honeymoon and the summer. An.
other matrimonial pair were earnestly
searching for a minister to tie them
together during the afternoon, but
had not succeeded when last heard
from.
In the family Of Mr.. Dan Creeden,
on South street, there are now three
persons sick, though but one has been
officially reported as yellow fever.
There is no one to render assistance
to the sufferers except a small FIVE

his family.
A steamer, the Belle Memphis,

lights out, but herself put out early
this morning just as soon as the freight
was rolled on to the wharfboat. She
took no people, and didn't want any.
The guarantees at up river points
caused the movement of the boat as
related. The general opinion is that
guarantees are frst-class frauds.

whisky has been calculating, at Wash
ington City, hat only q 900 persons
have died of yellow fever in this en-.

calculator is anxious to quarantine
against whisky.
In times like these every family
should have a supply Of stimulants on
hand in case of sickness, and of course
it should be pure and unadulterated.
Tom Sullivan, 1S9 Main street, keeps

direct from Holland. The finest
brandy from France, ale and porter
from England and Scotland, all of the
purest and finest quality, imported
direct by him. Call aud see the

Stevenson, Decatur and other towns
in North Alabama have established
rigid guarantees. Milan and other
