Sickness in the country.
--Much sickness, chiefly typhoid fever and diphtheria, prevails at Timberville and vicinity. There had been a death in that region every day for the last three weeks, up to Monday last. Diphtheria still prevails extensively on Briery Branch, in the western part of this county. Quite a number of deaths have occurred, as many as four in the same family, (Mr. David Vanfossen's,) within the last three or four weeks. It spares neither age nor sex.-- Rockingham (Va.) Register.
