other vessels have ceased bringing cmigranis from
Canada. MIR. w. confirmed the previous inform

and the thrccs cases "a, Fort Miller. Since those
deaths however, all healthy at those places, &
the villages along the canal.
The case of a man who was found dead on the
railroad between Albany and Schenectady. rumor
of which reached this city yesterday, has been i'm
vcstigated by the Deputy Health Officer Dr. Stats
Says:--

date death, aud no medical man having been in at
tendance render it difficult tn give decided OPT
Mon. The case of very malignant nature,
but strong doubts exist whether it cholera, or
the effect of the and exhaustion"
A letter from Montreal OF the 18th, published in
the Troy Sentinel, says:
"1He carriers ,oho transported the bargago of
the emigrdnts ,cere the first among the Canadians
,cho tuere atfdcked: from them it spread the
city. 1t is mostly confined to the lower classes
who are incorporates but the Observation-Disclosures
in eating or in drinking--among the higher classes,
do not altogether escape. Many are attacked in
from to IL hours after exposure to inection and
some expire within three hours after having been
attacked.
The civil authorities of Troy have taken the
most efficient precautions against the introduction
of the disease into that city. The Sentinel Of yes
torday says:-
Rumor, with her thousand tongues, is busy in
proclaming the existence of the disease in sundry
places between this and Montrcal--as at White
hall and Fort Edward. We see no good reason
for believing that such is the fact We do not be-
licce that single person this side Of the Cana
dun line, has get been attacked iouh the disease.
The opinion is probably correct. The follow
ing are the directions of the Troy Board of
Health:

port every case of supposed Cholera (should any
occur) to DIR. Goodrich, City Physician,

utmost consequence. Cleanliness is also earnestly
recommended as experience has shown that clean
illness and temperance almost certain prevent

the streets and alleys is recommended

TROY BOARD OF HEALTH BULLETIN
The Board have this morning received the fol-
lowing communications
Fort Miller June Is, 1882
As report is in circulation that the Cholera of
India, Spasmodic Cholera has appeared among
/ ! company OF WEIGH emigrants in the village OF
Fort Miller Washington CO. n. Y, which report
is calculated to be highly injurious to the said
eInIgrants, and to impede their passage to their
place of destination, j, the physician who attend
ed upon the three deceased persons hereby certify
that after careful examination of their cases /
am decidedly of the opinion that the malady of
which they died was not tho Spasmodic Chole-
ra-that it induced by the exposure and hard
ships to which they have been subjected upon their
IJourney-that they have been where exposed
to an atmosphere infected with Cholera-and that
the community need have no fears of communi-
eating freely with them. 1t is now upwards of
two days since the last death occurred, and the
remainder OF the company continue in good health
nor has any of the citizens of this place who
visited tho sick persons been attacked by disease
| ASA FITCH, Jun. M. d.
| The facts above stated corroborated by two
letters from gentlemen of responsibility at Fort
Miller, also received this morning The Board
nave tho satisfaction to state that case ofunusual
sickness exists in this city. There are some yapue
rumors OF cases north, among the emigrants but
no well authenticated case of Asatic Cholera this
side OF Lake Champlain has been communicated 10

good health.
The Physician of the Board Yesterday afternoon
reported 100 cmigrants at the quarantine at Green
Island and that they all we'll He also re-
ports to-day that the city continues healthy. The

to the idle rumours of the day, which seek to con-
vert every trifling disease into Asiatic Cholera-
The Board recommend that the Chloride of lime
