ed by the cholera, we know of none
more affecting than that of the sickness
and death of the Rev. Mr.. Hinton, OF
Harlem, New York. When the pes.
thence broke out in the most appalling
manner amongst his neighbors, this ad-
mirable young man devoted his time,
from morning till night, to the sick and
terrified, carrying comfort to the living,
and peace to the dying He was much
attached to DR.. Arnold, and assisted him
in preparing medicines for the sick, and
visited, under the directions of his med
ical friend, many sufferers whom DR..
A found it impossibleto attend.
A week ago last Tuesday, Mr.. Hin

the breakfast table. in apparent health,
when the boy suddenly sickened, and
IN five hours he was corpse In the
afternoon Mrs. II. became unwell and at

They both persisted ere morning l.
When the wife was dying she took the
bridal ring from her finger and sent it TO

room, with message that she was
breathing her last. He received it, ex-
pressed a wish that he might also depart,

CHOLERA.
The following extracts from history
of this distemper, fall in with the gener-
al expectation, and encourage us to hope
that the progress of the disease will be
suspended by our winter weather.
In 1921. the pestilence passed on the
river beyond Bagdad, but seemed TO die
away at the approach of winter.
In September 1923, itreached Astra-
chan, and continued to show itself till
arrested by the winter. The following
summer it did not re-appear.
In 1929, it appeared in Ispahan. At
the coming of winter it ceased, but the
next summer it re-appeared in those
Provinces of Russia, north Of Teheran.
In 1881, it spread in Russia. AS the
winter advanced the disorder seemed to
fade away on the continent of Europe,
when it unexpectedly appeared at Sun
derland.
The futiity of quarantine regulations
las been clearly exempliiied at New
port and Providence. At Newport, the
authorities pushed their restrictions to
the verge of inhumanity, and yet the
disease has made its appearance there,
while at Providence, there have been
several cases, which the physicians pro-
nounce TO have been ofdomestic origin.

In looking at the number of deaths
by Cholera in the reports which we

the dismissal of prisoners from the Arch
Street Prison, must be felt in the reports
for several days.-Philad. u. s. Gaz.

the carts in which these lugubrious pie

most public streets, take Arch street for

The Gardiner Standard says, the
Scarlatina or Canker Rash, prevails
greatly in that neighborhood, which the
editor considers as much to be dreaded
as the Cholera. This disease is preva-
lent in many parts of the State of Maine.
