Of the number there reported, only about 20 or 30 died of complaints incident to this season of the year. It will be seen, therefore, that the mortality is by no means alarming and we do not learn that there is any increase of sickness. This exhibit most effectually puts to rest the story set afloat by editor of the Sentinel who was present at the Firemen's Tournament. [p. 6, col. 3] A CARD. - To my friends that have generously offered to support my re-election to the Superintendency of schools of the second district of Rock county, I desire to return my sincere thanks, and to state in this public manner, so as to make the notice as general as possible, that having accepted an invitation to become the Principal of Dekeeyter Institute, in Dekeeyter, N.Y., shall not be a candidate for this important office.
