Morehouse could not make a
better nor more profitable invest

scribing to this ably conducted

Dr. McCreight informs us that
sickness in the parish is subsiding
rapidly, and he thinks it will not be
long until malarial diseases will be
entirely conquered. The fatality
this season has been confined
chiefly to children, whose ailments
have been principally of a sto
machic disorder.
The other day Mr. Frank Ald
ridge showed us a pair of pigs of
the Red Jersey species, which he
had shipped to him from Philadel

free from all diseases that swine
are usually subject to.
