Louisville, [Ky.] August 24.
We take the liberty again to reiterate the assertion, that the town of Louisville and its environs, were never more healthy than at present. This is done because a rumour is prevailing at Lexington, that the town is alarmingly sickly, and the disease very fatal. We have been assured by the Physicians of the place, that they have never seen a more healthy season, and from present appearances, it promises a continuance.
While some of the interior towns hitherto considered the most healthy are suffering from sickness, we feel grateful to divine providence for the health and blessings he has bestowed upon us.
