Had it not been for this kind friend, my little revenue would not have sufficed for subsistence.

een attacked on the boat with something which now appears to have been grippe, and was too ill to get off the boat, but went on to Vicksburg and returned the next day. He arrived again at night, and drove several miles home through the malarial atmosphere. I received a telegram from a kind young man in Mr. Davis's employment, dated November IIth, saying my husband would not have a doctor, and was in bed, and I proceeded at once to take a boat for Brierfield. We met upon the river. Captain Leathers, whom we had known, as a boy, felt an intense interest in him, and had his father's boat hailed, and found out Mr. Davis was on board. He was asleep when I met him, but waked very soon and seemed better for meeting me. Two physicians whom we consulted at Bayou Sara declared that he had acute bronchitis complicated with grave malarial trouble. When we reached New Orleans, before which he had suffered intensely, a cold rain was falling. Our friend, Mr. Payne, with his son-in-law, J

A Tough family. --An old woman named Leathers, her two daughters, one son, and a man named Trenton Kennedy, were before the Mayor yesterday to answer the charge of being persons of bad character, and trespassing on the premises rented by Dr. Little for the use of his servants. The Leathers group are from the county of Orange, and not at all prepossessing in their appearance. To relieve the city of their presence, the Mayor will send them back to the county from whence they came.
