The most complete peace has reigned. "Prosperity has been prevented by the mortality of Caraboas and other diseases ot cattlo and horses. This was followed by unexpected rising of the rivers, which over Honed land planted with corn. Then came the smallpox and the scourge of locusts, and the cholera, which, while it has not wrought much havoc, haa greatly un settled the minds of the pecple.
