The Opelousas Courier say of the yellow fever:

This terrible disease seems to have left Washington and Barry’s Landing (where 
it attacked nearly everybody who had never had it before), to begin its ravages 
in Ville Plate, where three persons have already yielded to its attacks. Indeed, 
Washington and Barry’s Landing are now nearly free from the disease, and we have 
not heard of a single death at either place this week. The few who still have it 
are now convalescent.

At Ville Plate several deaths have occurred this week. Mr. Onezime Tate and his 
wife [Malvina Dardeau] being among the number. One child [Ambroise Edouard Tate] 
is all that is left of the family.

Mrs. Prosper Daire [Lucia Fontenot], of the same town is also among the victims.

We of Opelousas can fortunately still congratulate ourselves upon being exempt 
from the disease.
