A succession of severe frosts promises the speedy eradication of the lurking seeds of that fatal contagion which has so long confined our unfortunate fellow-citizens in gloomy exile from their homes. The weather yesterday and to-day has been as favorable as could be wished; and should not our hopes be cut off by the return of heat, which, however, is improbable, considering the advanced state of the season, there is little doubt that the city may be considered as perfectly safe, after the close of this week.
