It ft withT extreme : regret ifbaf'wl? an-.
nounce to tne Board the fact that yellow .
f eyer. has made its appearance jn our.xity '
.We were greatly in hopes that the "season
was so far advanced thar wewould be
spared, a, visitation front the much dreaded
disease, t In this wehave been disappoint
ed I Up to the present date three deaths
have occurred in the city fronryellowfevet,
one of which was on board a vessel at quar
amine. This vessel loaded for a foreign
port atMarshall'a wharf,; near; the eastern ;
terminus of Calhoun street,, 'and,, while ly
ing hi the stream ready for. "sea,; the jnate
was taken sickyand the Case waa reported
to the Health Officer, by ibe attending phy
sician, as yellow fever, on Saturday, . the
16th instant Thevessel was immediately
ordered to quarantine, where the case let
minated fatally on tbe 17lh instant There
are-a small number-of cases ; under- treat-
rnent, mostly confined to the eastern part
of the city, near the : terminus of Haeel,
Wentworth and Calhoun streets. As to tho
origin of the disease we cannot now speak
definitelyhut the subject wjll be thorough
ly investigated..
In order to' Secure and maintain the con
fidence of a community .the official bodies,
representing the, various interests of the
community should strictly and faithfully
redeem every-pledge that has -been made.
Truth and duty constitute, the only basis of '
action 'under all, circumstances, however
conflicting- private interesls may see'm at i'
the time. This Board has ledged its honor i
and veracity lhat as soon .as a case of yellow
fever occurred in our city it should be an-nouncedJ'The;tmlehas-
arrived. In tho
opinion of the committee, for the redemi
tion of that pledge,J8o,lhat each one muy
act in the premises as is most compatible
with his social obligations and busiousS' re
lations. I ., ,-L L. ,
As i is late in the season-,' and it will re
