is absolutely healthy. There was stam-
pede from Gainesville Sunday, but Gordon
has now been drawn, and II is hoped and
believed that the fever can not become cpl
demic there owing to recent extensive sani-
tary improvements
The news from McClenny is favorable.
The immediate wants of the community
have been relieved, and physicians, nurses,
provisions and money have been sent there
The weather continues wet and unfavorable.
