A slip from the St. Joseph Times states that the fever in that place is abating. Throughout all Flor. ida this year has been marked by extraordinary sick ness. The Times says:-

 "This has been year long to be remembered in Florida. From all parts of the country. where we have received distinct nteligence-death has been rife in the land. The newspapers show not the ex- tent of loss and suffering In time of health and security, the deaths of many who are now unan- nounced in the newspapers would have sounded like the fall of mighty pine in the still forest"

 Among the deaths mentioned is that of the Hon. Richard C. Allen, Judge of the U. s. Court for the district of Apalachicola.

 The Times administers severe castigaton to a Dr. J. c. Howard for deserting his patients ia the midst of the sickness when there was no other resi- dent physician in the city.

 In Tallahassee and it's vicinity the fever has been equally general and fatal. A letter from that place, says-"Our country has been and still is in dread fu situation from sickness. You cant imagine our distress-Some of our planters will loose their crops from the sickness of thelr hands. One of my ne- phews, working thirty hands, has not at work. D

 At Key West and Havana, we learn from the St. Augustine News, it has prevailed with great fatality, In the latter port, says, nine American ships were lying, without soul on board, all having perished with the fever

 Our own city continues very healthy, and in New Orleans we have seen announcement of any new cases of the yellow fever
