Severe Standardization Of Prop
erty and Loss Of Life.

BosToN, July 1.-THE storm yes
terday was very severe at all points.
The loss of life is greater than at first
supposed and mainly caused by the
capsizing Of boats. Thoms Dundon
and wife, his two sisters and niece and
a boy named Arthur Ream were
caught by the squall and all drowned
except Mr.. Dundon. A yacht was
capsized off Nantucket beach aud four
persons drowned. One man, two wo-
men and two children were lost off
Governors Island. These bodies have
been picked up on the beach. The
rainfall was very heavy in various
places, and some of the hailstones
measured even inches in circumfer-
euce. Lightning caused the loss Of
five lives.
Two boats capsizod of Sictuate and
three persons were drowned. Near
Montreal Mrs. Peter Robinson was
by lightning. Round about
Kington and S~angerties, New York
crops were ruined. barns, fences
and outhouses were blown down, Hail
stones fell resembling large chunks
of ice.

when we started on our upward trip, a
great number Of people had to take
shelter on the river bank, many of
them in a destitute condition.
The people of Yicksburg are leav-
ing by the hundreds-the trains 20
out loaded, and boats from below
touching there carry their share. The
City Of Alton took sixty or seventy
passengers from Greenville on the 18th
instant, and the Grand Tower on the
10Th carried from the same place fifty.
Great credit is due Captain Carvell
and CAPTAIN Thomas ii. Wife, first
clerk, for their kind and courteous
manner. They did all that was posi-
BILE for the welfare of the passengers
and the owners of the four hundred
and fifty tons of freight on board,
which they carry back to st. Louis.
They fed without charge twenty odd
deck passengers while laying over forl
hours at quarantine.
The mail arrangements of the river
are completely upset. No mail from
Memphis or Vicksburg for several
days.
There is no report of fever at any
place along the river. The crops are
in good condition and promise we'll,
except corn, which, owing to dry
weather, will be short but as there
were more acreage this year the yield
will be fair.

However much the citizens of Nom
phis may blame the board of health
for publishing the case of Mulbran-
don to the world, the neighbors of
Memphis will never cease to thank
them for their honesty. 1t is true it
created a panic in the city, and this
naturally extended into the country.
This, Of course, is due to the citizens
OF Memphis, who should have re-
manned until the matter Of epidemic
or sporadic was settled. But it has,
like all questions, two sides. 1t con-
yinces the whole country that the
board will speak out, whatever the
consequences may be, IfNew Orleans
had observed tho same oandor last
year, all the horrors Of 70 would not
have occurred, for they let it alone
until the whole country was poisoned.
1t is better to profit by the experience
Of this panic than to suffer again as we
did last year. Better a thousand pan.
les than one epidemic. The names of
Drs. Mitchell, Thornton and Porter
will be blessed by Tonnesseeans, what
eyer may be said against them by the
Memphiaps,

The doctors of Memphis are as wise
as those of any other city, aud should
know a disease as we'll marked as yell
low fever without any difficulty, and
yet they differ in regard to the disease,
as if there were nOyices in it. This
difference OF opinion among those who
are we'll informed creates an uncer-
tainty among those who do not know
anything ABOUT it, and more, it destroys
the confidence the public should en-
terrain for their medical advisers. 1t
is a very unfortunate state Of things,
not only for Memphis, but for the
whole country. 1t has resulted most
d%isastrously as to the interests of
Memphis, for people out of thar city
have come to believe hat even
if a well-marked case should occur,
the physician in charge would be
so Influenced by the odium of nam
ing it that he would conceal the
fact, and this concealment would con
tinue until the fever should be 50
patent he could diyulge it with safety
to his own reputation. Hence, the
widespread fear of an epidemic that
would be made known too late to
enable the residents to escape. SO
much for its influence on Memphians
but outsiders naturally fear the inlu-
ence of public opinion would prevent
a candid avowal until it had pervaded
all the city, and thus the escaping ones
would spread wide and far this terri
Bile scourge. All this could be pre-
vented by a little harmony among
the doctors. We all know that the
Memphis doctors are intelligent and
expert in this disease. They should
have a meeting and appoint a COM
mittee of experts, to whom
should be referred all doubtful cases,
and the character of the disease
should be so settled that the people in
and out Of Memphis could be informed
OF its existence or On-existence. We
have enough knowledge of medicine to
know that a great many diseases so
assimilate each other that the most in
t~elligent among us are liable to make
an error Of diagnosis. Theserious char
acter of this disease renders an exact
ness 50 imperative that amistake can
not be tolerated. AS before stated, the
influence Of public opinion might be
sufficient to make a young doctor CON
ceal a case, even if he was satisfied it
was one of yellow fever. A reference
to the experts Of these cases would re-
lieve the young mar of the response.

but followed the adiutant without ut
