The fever does not 1 abate its progress, but its .visitations are much less fatal in proportion to the numbers taken. Yesterday, there were -11 new cases, with only eight interments in Oakdale Cemetery. Of course the interments were from former cases. V If taken at once, the fever seems to yield readily. If not. or if neglected too long, the chances are very small. People now understand f this, which fact, even more than the greater familiarity with the disease on -the part of phy sicians, accounts, we think, for the comparative ly small mortality in proportion to the number of cases. Soon, we trust, the fearful apprehen sion of the disease will pass away, and 'with it most of its terrors. . vi RiciiMONtt, October 2.
