With the experiences sofa year go frsshsi in

tricts liable to receive a visitation of the
dreaded scourge will become panic strickeh
upon the slightest suggestion of danger and
will fee to the north for safety. Already
Memphis is becoming depopulated. Last
year the fever made its appearance about
the 3Oth of July and had a run Of three sor
four months. This season it has broken out
full three weeks earlier and shouldit assume
an epidemic form its devastation will be
even more terrible than that Of 1878. It
began last year at New Orleans and spread
northward. This seasons outbreak (if such
it proves to beg has its starting place at
Memphis. There is no reason to believe
that it may not encrosch upon northern ter
