We regret to report the serious illness of Miss Ellen Fardy, who is at present in Orange. Word was received on Saturday night by her brother, Mr. M. Fardy, that her condition was very serious. On inquiry to-day we found there was little improvement, and the complaint is thought to be typhoid fever."
