A COOLGARDIE HORROR.
Perth, December 17.
A typhoid epidemic is raging at Coolgardie. It carries off on an average a victim daily. The bodies are put into old boxes, and buried without record. The stench coming from the cemetery is dreadful, owing to the fact that the bodies, are only buried about 2ft under the sand. Beneficial rains have fallen in the Coolgardie district, and the dams have been filled. One inch fell in 24 hours.
