shortly after the fever broke out in Florida the
Iesiaents OF HendersonvilIe sent an open invita-
uon 10 the people OF Florida for them 70 come TO
he~uersonvllle. Large numbers OF the poorer class
Vi persons soon arrived. and tins boarding houses
were overcrowded. One OF the refugees said the
residents had expected the weather. residents TO

that every person who had pain or an ache i'm

was treated for the fever. In many OF these
cases the doctor thought the patient might
not have the fever, and the usual treat

swells of New York, will be quietly graceful, with

introduced at the Watering places, and very pretty
they are for the children. Grown-up people are
