Fruit harvest has greatly improved in appearance

II IS with that degree Of satisfaction and thank
fulness which knows no bounds, that we are ena-
bled to say, that health, in general, prevails
throughout the United States-whiIe, at the same
time. it is with the deepest sorrow we learn that
our neghbors Of Canada are afflicted with terri.
bic disease. termed Asia'ic Cholera, which may
be considered one Of the greatest scourges to
which humanity is heir.
L once lived length Of time in Maho-
medan country. which was frequently Visited with

escape their baleful effects, al. and every thing

Vac found me with our domestics busily engag-
cd in the aforementioned work. after the usual
saltuations observed, MIR. Secretary, you are
right-the skilful mariner always takes in his ex.
ira Sails and makes all things snug in time, that
the impending storm may press lightly on his ship
The busy bee travels not in the vicinity Of plants
from which no honey can be collected; neither
does the blowing hy exist but in the midst Of pu-
trefaction. Let me advise you, far as posi-
bic, to guard against sitting or resting in The ex.
posture Of night air: also avoid multitudnous as.
semblages; for one disordered person might infect
the whole. Go on" continued this noble Turk,
{" in this line Of duty, and pestilence will not
even look into your house, much less take up its
abode with you. Pursue your business, and en-.
JOY your ride and other innocent pastimes; be
temperate in all things: trust in God and fear no
danger" Thus spake wise man of threescore
and ten, in experience. treasured up in my
memory his never.to-be.f forgotten words-and,
when he had taken leave, translated them to my
urnal;--since which quarter Of century has
rolled away.
Having, am afraid, exceeded the limit al
lowed me in this Gazette, l shall only add. that
the admonitory words Of this great man literally
proved to be true. Our houses, in town and
country. escaped all manner Of sickness, while
those who. like the faialst, neglecting every pre-
caution. drank freely of the bittercup.

Mr.. Snosoden--The object of my communica-
,ion few days ago was to call the attention Of
thePresident, Directors and Stockholders Of the
Alexandra Canal, to the prod,sal waste there
will be IN completing the work at The Four Mile
Run, if their present plan of operations is adher.
ed to; mean the use Of bricks in u masonry,
instead of Falls stone. then stated lick ma
scnry would cost 2Os per CT more than stone, d
| now propose to submit few facts in supp .rt M
my proposition.
1 think it will not be disputed that &c yiydrau.
lie purposes, or indeed for heavy rails of any
description, stone, even at TIE same price.
Is far preferable to bricks, bcth for strength and
durability; but whether this be admitted or not
by Theorists, 1t is only Necessary to compare the
cost OF the two to prove that stone is far less ex-
pensive A perch, or Is cubic feet of stone can
be delivered at the Bridge on Faur Mile run for
one dollar. 500 bricks, the namber required to
make perch, will cost at least three dollars, and
many experienced brick makers are OF opinion
that they will cost the company from 81 to dol
lars, ii made as they are now making them by the
day. But supPo.e that perch Of brick viii cost
only IS and a perch Of stone cost but 81 and
the price Of laying should be the same, then will
there be difference Of two dollars the perch in ia
ror Of stone. BY the advertisement OF the eth
February last. it appears that two millions OF
brick, equal to 1000 perches, is wanting at Four
Mile run, consequently, if my estimate is correct,
there will BE- waste of $4,000 in the single item
Of masonry if bricks are used. There are other
matters of similar character that may hereafter
be the subject of another communication from

THE Choiera.-The last accounts from Mon.
treal and Quebec are so favorable, that We need
not occupy our columns with the details. The
panic is subsiding, not only in these cities, but
throughout the state Of New York. Heretofore
we have felt it to be pty, to publish regular.
Iy the accounts apparently Of an authentic nature,
which have been given relative to the Pestilence.
These accounts have had the effect Of arousns
the activity Of the Atlantic cities to uncommon
exertion, SO that should the Cholera appear
amongst them, they will be in a measure prepar.
ed forit. The disease certainly as yet, however,
has not spread into our territories. The Amer.
can phsicIans now in Canada, are making them.
selves acquainted with ITS nature, and their report
may be expected to contain much useful intorma-
ton.

II is certain fact that Gen. Jackson is not
now SO personally popular as he was when he was
elected President. This IS most important con.
sdcration in examining the political situation OF
the country. We believe it will be generally ad'
mitted that the advantage Of being fortunate
soldier and successful general, mainly contrlout-
ed to the elevation Of the present Chief Masls'
trate, and that these things always invest the as.
piring Chieftan with the good will Of the people
and secure their favoritism, at least, for time.
What has effected this acknowledged declens'on
in personal popularity is we'll known and hardly
needs re-capituIa,ion. An excess OF gratitude
impelIed the people to bestow their highest fav0rs
and honors upon one. who having no just c,in'
to them, it was not to be expected, could long
retain his hold upon popular affection.-fdem'

We gave, in yesterdays paper, the principal
proceedings Of Congress on Saturday. The Sc.
nate, by a vote Of 25 to 81 refused to postpone
the subject of the Public Lands. There is no
hope, however, of bill relative to that matter,
being passed this session. We stated that the
House of Representatives had determined at once
to 90 into the consideration Of the Bank question.
Mr. McDufFie moved an amendment to the
sixth section providing, in substance, that the
existing branch banks shall not be interfered
with.
Mr. Wayre moved as an amendment to this
amendment: 50 II the Legislatures of the several
States shall signify their consent on or before 10Th
April, 1886, that these branches shall be retained
therein"
The question on this amendment was, after Z
protracted debate, put and negatived.
Mr.. Beardsley then moved an amendment to
the amendment in substance: s. Ii the Secretary
of the Treasury shall certify that there is neces.
sity for such branches to transact the business OF
the Government"
Mr.. b. advocated his amendment at length
after which,
Mr.. Hoffman said he did not desire to make
any speech, but would demand the yeas and nays,
which being ordered, and the question on the
amendment of Mr.. Beardsley pat, it was mega
tived-yeas 67, nays liz.
Mr.. Wardwell, Of New York. then moved an
amendment, in substance providing that the Sc
vera States should have the power to tax the
branches therein. But before any question was
taken thereon, the House adjourned.
1t is expected that the House wilh proceed in
an expeditions manner to dispose Of this bill, and
that it will he passed this week. Speculation as
to the course the President may pursue. is USE
less, because very few days will determine the
matter.
