Dreadful
Mortality.
We learn that a locality on Grassy Creek, in
Pendleton county, has been severely afflicted.
About two weeks ago the cholera and flux broke
out simultaneously in the malignant form. In
short time from forty to fifty deaths, or about
one-third of the entire population of the
neighborhood, had died of one or the other of
these diseases. At last, accounts the sickness
still prevailed, but with some abatement of its
virulence.
