It will be recollocted that the number of deaths had become so great that ‘it wag with much difficulty that the most common offices of sepulture could be performed. Apparently very little feeling, and lessceremony, was ex- hibited in the burial of the dead. There seemed to be an over-anxiety to get rid o° the hapless victims as speedily as possible. When all hope of recovery was gone, and death was inevitable, its approach was looked for with manifest impatience. Even before the poor sufferer had breathed his last, hia coffin was engaged, and other ar- rangements made for his speedy interment; and ere his limbs had assumed the rigidity of death, and within an hour or two after the dissolution, his body, without shroud or wind- ing-sheet, was placed in a common stained coflin, deposited in the hearse under the sole charge of the negro driver, and hurried off to S$ re A Beavtirun Compiexton may easily acquired by using the “ Balm of a Thousand Flowers.”’ It will remove tan, pimples, and freckles from the skin, leaving it of a soft and roseate hue.
