THE CHOLERA.

THE tHOLERA.
The mails since Saturday have furnish
ed us with some additional details Of the
progress Of the pestilence in Canada 1t
has extended to York, the capital of the
Upper Province, at which place, accord
ing to accounts from Rochester, three ca
ses have occurred. At Coburg, on Lake
Ontario, nearly opposite to the mouth of
Genesee River, one case is noted. This
is the only stopping place, to land emf
grants between Rochester and York; and
generally large portion of them are left
there. One case has been reported in
the neighboihood Of Ogdensburgh.
In the Lower Province, the Cholera
has made its appearance at Berthier, for
ty-fve miles below Montreal, on the
north side Of the St. Lawrence. 1t is
stated that in the small village Of St John,
there have been sixty cases among pop
ulation Of few hundred souls. This,
we think, must be a greatly overrated
statement One of the deaths at that
place was Mr. Benjamin Thatcher, of
Montreal. This gentleman was an old
resident Of Montreal, and had left that
place to avoid the disease, and when ta-
ken sick, was on his way to the United
States.
The official reports are as follows

Among the deaths are some in the
highest walks of society. We have be-
fore noted the death of one Of the Judges
Of the Court Of Kings Bench. AtQue-
bee another, Judge Kerr, has been adj ,
ded to the list. We observe, also that
two Of the members of the Executive .
council have fallen victims to the disease,
viz: the Hon. Sir John Caldwell, Mt Que
bee, and the Hon. S. de Bcaujieu, at
Montreal; the death of Mrs. Try, the la
dy Of John Try, Esq. of Montreal, is also
announced. This eonvinces US that the
disease ia not :confned to any particu-
lar spot, but that in every section ofthose !
afflicted cities, death hath had It's shining
mark.
One letter mentions the death Of Ma
thaniel Jones, Esq. Of the house Of III. .
Gates & Co. This, we inler,is n mistake, I.
since the Montreal papers of the Goth
do not mention the name Of that gentle
man as one ofthe deceased. This infer
ence il also strengthened by the follow
ing intcre sting letter from the house IT,
self, which would hardly have omitted a
fact so interesting to ITSELF
From Messrs. Gates g. Co, dated I
MONTREAL, June q, 1889.

DR.. Bronson, introduced him to a num-
Der Of our most eminent physicians, who

ers among the cholera patients. DIR.

civilty, and the most ready disposition
