Harrington, NC, September 14 – The diptheria is prevailing to some extent in this section, though in a mild form, only one death, that of Miss LOCKAMS, near Broadway.

In the same section, last Sunday night, Mr. Nathan UNDERWOOD lost an infant child one week old.

The typhoid fever is prevailing at Jonesboro and vicinity, but no deaths.  Mr. Alex SLOAN, who had his leg broken in two places, is, I am glad to learn, improving.
