Cholera IN Steamboats,. -Extract of a letter
from a traveller on the Mississippi, published in
the Portiand Gazette.
Our company Is not very large. There are
bat few ladies IN thi, boat, though the boats tins
.prlug are generally crowded. We passed the
Farmer the fourth day out, which started two
DAYS before, luii OF ladies, and with about 200
deck passengers, b"a,men principally. amung
whom the Cnnlera had broken out. When we
passed her she had buried four persons, and
three more we're on TIE point OF d"ath. The
company was most sombre The Farmer Is
rapid bat not neat boat, and this Is perhaps
the reason, that the passengers there me'e so un.
fortunate while not case has occurred in our
boat rhe dead on board OF the Farmer were
buried Oh the banks of the river, probably with
GU, soiin, or the common ceremonies of sepul-
chre. 1t is horrid thus TO be left 10 The wilder
ness. far from home und friends, --lhe victim of
sucha disease!
The Canal Since our last notice Of the pros
porous condition of the trade through the Canal,
we are pleased to have It IN our power to state
that boats we'll laden have continued TO pass
through the locks into the basin, which Is 1T all
times in order To accommodate many thousand,
and constantly exhibits a beautiful sheet OF wa
