Grenada is described as a pretty lit tie town with several hundred more than two thousand inhabitants. lt'ris seventy-five miles below Hol ly Springs and 300 miles above New Orleans. The people are generally in moderate circumstances and half the populatidn is black. It derives its, chief support from cotton, the surrounding land, , being the richest in the State. The Jackson route runs directly through Grenada, and it is the terminus of the Mississippi and Tennessee Rail way. Its streets and the sewer spoken of were not' properly attended' to during the summer, and the attempt to repair' the sewer, brought out the fever. The physicians and nurses are hard at work; but every case has thus far nroved fatal. One hundred! and forty-eight f persons j how have the fever. Deaths almost always oc cur at night and new cases come on at the same time. Twelve deaths occurred Wednesday night and nine Thursday night. - 1 The i Western Union operator, Mr. Tom Marshall,.- remains at his post and is in constant communication with Grenadians now here.

Cliarlotte Observer : There comes to us another denial of the alleged recent killing of Ahdy Scoggins, of Rutherford, by his father-in-law, a Baptist preacher. It appears that a couple of weeks ago. the two had a difficulty and that the father-in-law struck Scoggins with a stick, fbr which he was very penitent and on account of which he has announced his purpose; to resign the ministry. It is probable that the story of the homicide grew out of this occurrence. 1 Concord Sun : A country friend walked into our office Saturday and putting a covered jbasket on our ta ble, informed us that it contained something more wonderful than the Siamese twins. An investigation showed the basket to contain; three fully developed kittens joined to gether in a manner exactly similar to that of the famous twins.
