able space to that subject. The <m
mediate cause if taking tins inaUer
np now, is the common irossip and we
happen to know, the misrepresenta-
tions, made relative to the quarantine
of the Negro families on (lie Crave:"
place, two weeks ago. The K.ntbk-
I'KISK in tile Issue of November 12c.li.
gave the news Ifros that Dr. E. O.
