HEALTH OF CINCINNATI. The cholera
has greatly abated, and the general health
of the city is very much improved. Du-
ring the week ending August 18th, there
were but 81 deaths in the city, OF which
only eight were by cholera. The Gazette
adds that the disease cannot be consider
ed as prevalent there, or, indeed, as exist
ing at all, except an occasional case.
The 5reatber for some time past has been
very warm for the season, and dry; we
have had no rain of any consequence for a
month; the roads are like ash-beds, and
every "crook and Granny" is filled with
dust. In the south part of the state it is
feared that corn crops will be considera-
bly, cut short by continuance Of dry
