NORTH OF EUROPE.

Leman from the north of Europe state that with the
return of cold weather, the cholera has relaxed much of its
virulence there. The number of fresh mats daily is now,in
Berlin below 16. The highest amount et daily cues has
been 48 in a population of 430,000 ; thus higher than it
ever was before in any former visitation. The total number
of mess sines the first week in August, when the epidemic
Ant showed itself, was 1,161, of which 740 died. Along
the shores of the Baltic also the disease appears to be re-
lenting. In Copsnlisgen it is just declared extinct; of
7,626 cases 4,083 have been fatal. In Stockholm, which
was last Mated, the culminating point seems just to have
been reached—out of 4,078 cases 2,424 ended with death.
In Pstsmburg also the eases show a gradual deerease.
