Commerce Visibly Affected By the Mai

SAN FRAScIsco, Nov. 30.-Advices
from Melbourne state that influenza
continues to rage with undated fury
throughout che colonies and that the
epidemic is causing many deaths.
Among the latest recorded is that of
William Byrne, one of the oldest mem
bers of the legislative council
Large mum bers of railroad employees
are down with the disease, so much so
that traffic is considerably interfered
with. Numbers of telegraph operators
are also laid up, and the department is
consequently working short handed.
The public schools at South Goul.
burn have been closed owing to the
great prevalence of the disease. In
one district there are over 1000 cases
and the deaths number several hun
bred.
The disease is particularly virulent
in some country towns, where in many
instances whole families are pros
trated. Hitherto fatal cases have been
confined to those advanced in years,
but there is now a change and all
classes are dying.
Doctors say that the epidemic is i'm
creasing in virulence. Five hundred
school children at Collingwood are
Frustrated. The population of the
municipality of Williamson, which in
cludes Newport and Spottiswood is
about Is, 00O and it is estimated that
the bulk of the inhabitants are pros
trated. At Sydney nearly all the en-
ployes of the mint have been seized
with it, and work in the water and
sewer departments is almost at
standstill in consequence of the alb
sence of many officials, who are away
on sick leave

Something About Winds.

Before the advent of steam, he ground
the meal for his daily bread with the
aid Of wind he avails himself of it yet
to watt his trading vessels across the
seas. Ifit is gentle, he calls it breeze;
if it comes with a sudden rush, roar, and
whirl, depositing his house on the next
quarter section, his cattle in the next
township, and makes him hunt the eel
lar in a hurry, he names it cyclone
and proceeds to get himself together
again. The ancients, however, with
their tendency to ''see sermons in stones
and books in running brooks" person
flied ali things in nature and named the
winds -Bereas, the North wind; Eurus,
the East wind; Zephyrus, the West wind;
and Notus, the South wind. These were

ing, Major DICK TURNER the cOmmandant,
ERAsTUs W. Ross, the clerk, General JOHN
II. WINDEG, commandant of the city, and
Adjutant LLToUcHE, and of two alleged
scenes of prison-lite.
The most remarkable thing in the ac-
count is the written confession Of w. /.
CRANE, of Cowikee, Barbour county, Ala,
who represents that he was the sentinel on
duty on the south side of the building
February 9, 1864, when Colonei ROSE aud
his party of more than hundred escaped,
and that he GRAND connived at the es-
cape.
CRANE says that he was unfaithful TO his
trust because he had been insulted by
General WINDER and because he hated to
see the prisoners suffer" every indignity
and cruelty which the ingenuity of DICK
TURNER could devise" is the way he
phrases it, and now after the lapse OF
twenty-seven years he declares that he
does mot know whether his conduct was
most praiseworthy or blameworthy."
