Of Cholera, on the line Of t6k canal. few miles

"The first case occurred ABOUT six DAYS ago,
and was followed by three others in the course OF
the three or four following days These were
yiolcnt and confirmed cases; all terminated Ia
tally, and were all of laborers belonging to the
same shantee, which, we learn. was IN most
filthy and h1rrid state. Ii has since been vacat.

lowing > an extract:
~, is believed that the written will bv which
Mr.. Randolph emancpated his slaves vas made
in 1922; aud afterwards IN 1882 he made two
successive wills. one in January aud the other in
March Of that wear; neither of which contained
any such provision. Ii the qIes,ion Of enanci-
patton rested here, the will OF 1922 would Of
cuurse be controlled BY those of later d1tc.-
But il has been repeatedly stated that during the
last sickness of Mr. Randolph, while he was in
Philadelphia, he called on persons present to
take notice that II was his will that the prOvis-
ions of that instrument which contemplated the
emancination Of his slaves should be carefully
carried into effect. This verbal recoecition 1T
the provisions Of the old writing can only be re-
garjed as a nuncupative will; and that writing
must of course bc found, 10 ascertain what the
tes,a,or has directed by his nuncupauve will
Aud then the question Will arise, lst. whether IA
emancipation can be made by nuncupattve will
IN any case; and IDLY, whether in this case the
will could revoke tie two written
wills made in 1882.
