that many Of the cases returned were OF the COM

proportion to the population, has been really Com.

may be considered unfOunded. Nhile prudence
dictates perseverance in every sanitary measures
in the continued publication OF streets ana dweil-
inss, and in the observance OF strict regimen
by individuals, such as is at all times proper our
inc the season, apprehension should be aiiayed,

So far. Cholera has attacked only the disso-
lutte, the Incorporate, the exposed, the careless.
the panic-struck. Taverns and grog shops, the
aires and public places. are very thnly attended
Fewer assaults and batteries have been brought
before the police than ever was kno~n. A very
decided movement has taken place in the habits
/ of all classes of society. Cholera will do more
! for temperance in eating. drinking. &c. than all
the temperance societies in the Union.-New
Fork Courier.
