Show drunkards are made by license every day in great numbers. But for all that, the Lord is not forgotten, for in proportion to the number of public houses and houses of churches have been multiplied to all the Saints. I do not know what they may do for me in time, but at present it is .certain they do not want to canonize me. Thinking you would like to hear something of New Zealand, I have addressed these few lines to you as to a brother indeed. Please give my respects to all the Saints who know me, and especially to the brethren from the Valley. 1 remain, dear sir, your brother in the everlasting covenant of peace. ill-fam- e, Caul C. Asmussex. Cedar City, Iron Co. 1807. 127, July Editor Dksekkt News: Dear Lro. Our celebration of the 21th went oil with unusual spirit and rejoicing. The day was ushered in with firing of artillery, unfurling the glorious 'old flag," playing of bands, &c. We had an excellent procession; and prominent in the procession were our Indian chief, John, with his band of Piedes, who seemed to feel quite at home, and to rejoice in the society of their white brethren. Our Bishop had called the Indians together early in the morning and presented them with a good fat ox, and a couple sacks of Hour, which made them feel as if they were among friends who would do by them as they would wish to be treated themselves. Ve realized that it waa much easier to feed than to light them, and a good deal cheaper. Our services at the Hall were conducted in a very orderly and spirited manner; the principal orator being Bro. Jacob Gates. The children had a dance in the afternoon, and the older folks appropriated the evening until 12 o'clock. The Social Hall was most tastefully decorated for the occasion. John Urie, Jehiel M. Connell and Jos. H. Smith were the Committee of Ar-- . rangements for the day. The weather keeps intensely hot. Crops look tolerably well. The fields begin to whiten for harvest. Wheat will be ready to cut to some extent next week. The citizens are all busy at present getting in their hay. Gates and Ijunt are pushing their grist mill ahead. They are putting up a good frame building in Coal Creek cafion, on a very beautiful and convenient site. Stewart and Chaffin are also pushing along in the erection of their grist mill; and other projects for the erection of useful in contemplation. Our machinery are to assume an air of business city begins and thrift which is very cheering and refreshing. All the Coal Creek Indians and most of the Parowan Indians' are camped close to our city and keep close in our Neighborhood all the time. Your brother in the gospel, John M.

Both medical men recognized that they were in the presence of a case which, if an attack of typhus fever, was certainly such as neither of them had ever witnessed before. When Dr. Stokes returned two hours later a great change had taken . place. The patient was as as before, but the left as arm and breast were now completely one the young man black.

A few other cases occurred during the and early summer, all presenting spring same and all fatal; the general features, of cholera in but with the appearance August this strange disease vanished. With the approach of spring, however, it One of the earliest of the new cases was that of a healthy child about five years old. Here the first symptom of illness was noticed at eight a.m.; at eleven a.m., a small purple eruption appeared, generally diffused over the body; ; self-possess-ed st re-appear- ed. at one p.m. the whole body was covered with large purple patches; coma gradually supervened, and at three p.m. death. The last audible utterances of the child were complaints of cold. Another case occurred at the Porto-bell- o Cavalry Barracks on the 17th of April.. An officer had complained on the previous morning of feeling slightly unwell. He got feverish towards night, had little sleep, suffered from headache, and was occasionally incoherent. In the morning about nine o'clock purple spots appeared, which spread rapidly both in size and' number, until the whole body became covered with them. Collapse set in with the usual suddenness, and at eleven a.m he was dead. Witnin ten minutes afterdeath the suhue had given place to perficial a rose red.purple In the following week a boy about nine r ten years old was attacked in the same rapid way. When seen at one p.m. his body was all dotted with purple specks; the pulse was scarcely perceptible at the wrist, but the action of the heart was perfect; he was in full possession of muscular strength and mental faculties, and felt so little ill that he complained bitterly of being kept in bed. At seven fc.m. he was dead. In the beginning of April the first cases were noticed. They provincial were connected with the troops who had been engaged in pursuit of the insurgents through the Gal tee mountains. Two or three soldiers, a married woman; and a couple of children were attacked, the woman and one of thr soldiers recovered, the others died. The fatal easen were remarkable for great suffering, which no skill seemed capable of relieving. Indeed, the children appear to have screamed themselves to death in the violence of the pain, which no efforts could mitigate. In all these efforts there were indications of considerable inflammation of the brain and spinal column. A special interest attaches to these military cases, as throwing some light upon the question of chilThe mother of the dren washed for some of the soldiers of the flying column, among whom we have just mentioned the attacks of the the disease occurred, and in this way the disorder may, it is conceived, have been communicated. Meantime, it is too plear, with the steady unfortunately and rapid increase in the Dublin death-rat- e from this mysterious complaint, that its attacks deserve the closest and most watchful attention, not only from the medical profession, which is thoroughly on the alert, but also from the public and the Government.

An ordinary wood engraving is reproduced in the same manner. Music is admirably and perfectly copied.
