MELANCHOLY. Last week physician to
the northward of the city, learning that there
was a case of cholera beyond Prat,'s Gar
den, repaired to the place described to him,
prepared with the medicines requisite in
such cases. When he arrived at the
house, he found the door closed and secured
within. After having gone round the honse
several times, in vain attempts to procure
admission, he determined not to be foiled
in his benevolent purpose, he with great
difficulty and some danger clambered upon
a shed and from thence entered the cham
Der of the sufferer 10y the window. The
scene was melancholy, and even revolving
in the extreme. The patient, a colored
woman, was stretched upon bed in the last
stage of the cholera, and beside her lay her
child dead. The physician was soon forced
from the chamber, in consequence of the
loathsomeness of the effluva but returning
shortly after he prescribed for the case, pla-
ced the medicines in her reach, and, after
having done all that an intrepid philan!hro-
ply could effect, he escaped by the window
and shed, and returned. A few rods from
the house he met the husband of the suffer-
er-the father of the dead child: but no
persuasion could induce him TO 90 near
them.

TEMPERANCE AND CHOLERA. The Canadian
(Montreal) Courant, says:
We hear it repeated, almost every hour, that
cholera has carried off old and young hale and
sickly, temperate and incorporate, with almost in
discriminate mortality and when any opinions not
founded on facts, gain currency it is the duty of
the public press to correct it, To the assertion,
then, that the cholera attacks the temperate and
Incorporate alike, we oppose the following fact,
which we extract from communication from the
Secretary of the st. James Street Temperance As
ISOLATION, ian Association, whose members abstain
entirely from all fermented distilled liquors,
that tend in the least degree to ntoxication)
which will 60 far to shake the common assertion,
that the cholera attacks unfortunately the tenn
perate and Incorporate. " | have examined the
list of members OF the st. James Street Temper
ance Association, or Total Abstinence Society,
comprising seventy individuals, and am happy to
state that not one has experienced an attack from
the prevailing disease" This certainly is a fact
worthy of notice. From the registers of inter-
ments kept at the burial grounds there is reason
to say, that since the 9Th day of June last our city
has been nearly decim>ted by death and from the
number Of cases that have recovered we are in
clined to think that than three out of ten of
the population have been attacked. In the midst
of this sickness and mortality find lutte band,
seventy in number, who abstain entirely from all
alcoholic drinks, not tasting even beer cider,
and of this seventy not one of has experienced an
attack of cholera.

Curious FACT. A gentleman whose fancy
leads him to notice the phenomena of nature,
assures us from his own observation, that on
the breaking out of the cholera in this place the
martens and SaoaiioWs entirely disappeared, and
that not one was to be seen while tho epidemic
prevailed; but on Tuesday morning last, much
TO his surprise he saw more than a hundred Of
these birds skimming over the commons near
the magazine. He supposes that these little
ieaibered sojourners insinctvely withdrew
from the contagious atmosphere as ii lowered
over MS, and halls their temperance as a sign
ofils having passed away.-NoyfoM Hcraid.

THE SEASON. The GOODNESS and consequent
backwardness of the season had produced gen
eral fear that our crop of corn might be cut off,
and there have been three slight frosts in this
vicinity, which changed the color of its leaves
in exposed situations. We believe, however,
that the injury sustained is very trifng, and
the favorable weather OF the last week has
brought it forward so rapidly as TO place con-
siderable portion Of it out Of danger, and we
think, now, that tolerabLe crop may safely be
calculated upon. The crop of potatoes is good,
and of remarkably fine quality. So long as
there was much doubt about the corn crop it
had a tendency to keep up the price of -four
and of other kinds of grain. But flour is now
falling, and, we think there must be still fur.
Their decline in its price, as the accounts from
abroad speak Of good crops, SO that it can hardly
be supposed that foreign shipments will be haz.
arded to much extent at present rates. With
the decline in -four, the prices of grain, gener.
ally, will also recede.
We may add that apples are abundant in this
county, both for cider and for winter use. The
crop exceeds the promise OF the early part OF
the season, and the quality is better than usual
insects having done less injury than Is common
in warmer seasons

Hydrophobia The last number Of the Journal

"lt has long been our opinion that two.thirds,
at least. OF the cases reported as hydrophobia, in
the human subject, were either Instances of tet-
anus. or of disease OF the nervous system, pro-
duced entirely by the influence Of the imagina-
tiun. The most singular instance Of purely inn

duced upon the b"dy. By the mind, when strong

most strict examination was then made to ascer-
tain whether there were any wounds or scars
about his bpdy, which might have been occasion

est search. none we're discovered. BY pursuing
the soothing system he was entirely relieved,
and in few days was suffered to return to his
family. His attack VAS attributed by his medi-
cal attendants to the effects of extreme fear and
horror, occasioned by his having read an account
