Shepherdstown Deaths From Disease

From Shepherdstown, in Virginia, we are sorry to learn, through the medium of the newspaper printed there, that the sickness, at this late period of the season, in that town, and still more in the neighborhood, exceeds any thing within the memory of man. Many families have not one individual in them able to attend upon the sick. It is fortunate that the deaths bear no proportion to the diseases. Several, however, have died; among whom are John Potter, a young man; Samuel Bell, a visitor to his relations at Shepherdstown; Thomas S. Bennett, merchant; two children of Charles Cameron, brought sick from Harper’s Ferry, and died within twenty minutes of each other; Richard Moran, plaisterer, from Georgetown, D. C.; and Mrs. Keefer.
