EDITOR Ledger: An incident ac.
cidentally came tony knowledge yes
terday, which will have as much in
terest for you as for me
DR.. - was called to a patient in a
clearinghouse as he was leaving the
house, the lady of the house interro
gated him as to the cause of the sick
ness, exclaiming, IF it is yellow
fever, he shall leave my house imme-
diately." IT is yellow fever, mad
am," replied the doctor. He shall
leave my house, there is a hospital
wagon at the door, he must be instant
Iy taken out Of my house" The doc
tor returned to his patient, who, pale
aud trembling, declared that he did
not want to go to the hospital. You
shall not, my carriage is still here, "
and forthwith he proceeded to remove
him, and hal young man found him
self in a short time at the doctors
residence surrounded by friends, pos
sessed Of necessary comforts, and the
recipient Of female sympathy and at
tention.
This is not the first time hal the
angel of mercy has confded to me
messages of this kind in connection
with this physician. We are not per-
s%onally acquainted with him, but rep.
utation years ago gave him a noble
mind, enriched by study, laborious
and conscientious research, and now
fully riponed to the full measure Of
manhood, he cannot fail to present US
from time to time such precious
fruits as l here tender to you.

commission as deputy, was arrested
three times yesterday while passing
from the island to the city by the State
board Of health picket guards working
under Cameron, Plunket & Co. In
turn he arrested the last picket that
tackled him, but the quarantine lead
ers interceded and saved the person
from going to Jail. If any but a deputy
sheriff undergoes this kind of contact
they must grin and bear it, but the
sheriffs can retaliate if they like.
