 promised you on Saturday some facts and sta tistics from this place

 would first notice most painful and peculiar case of family sickness that has existed and even now exists, though to what extent at present have no accurate knowledge. One of the families of this village. (Truman Johnson by name) con. sisting of nine members. have all been sick with a malignant form of Typhus fever. Out of this num- Der five have died-the father and mother, one son and two daughters. It has been remarkable that the sickness has been confined exclusively to this Rouse. and although apparently of most malignant character, and for weeks there have been from four to six watchers by day and night, no other person in the town has taken the disease. But the most peculiar fact is, that just twenty- one years ago this same sickness appeared in the family of the mother of this household, which fam. fly as this was composed of nine members, and out of these nine the same number as now, five, were carried to their graves As now, no other persons ot the town then took the fever Perhaps this fact might be considered by physicians in some way in- structiVe.
