FROM THE FREEMAN'S JOURNAL.
Perhaps the disease called Influenza, was never so prevalent in Philadelphia as it is at the present time. A respectable physician informs us that for the last twenty years of an extensive practice, he has not met with so many cases. In private as well as in public, all are complaining of coughs, colds &c. Last Sunday, several of our churches were closed on account of the indisposition of the pastors. In our courts of Justice, the judges and lawyers exhibit the effects of the disease. Our players at the Theatre grumble hoarsely, and even the fish-women cease to squall through the streets. All
