miles beyond the Warm Springs, and out
OF ten cases, that five were fatal.
Cincinnati, July ga commune alton
from DR.. Drake says, "For the week past
the cholera has continued to prevail, in
nearly the same degree, as for some time
before. The number Of cases OF mild
bowel complaint, is rather less than about
the middle Of June but the. number OF
deaths is quite equal to what It has been
ut any time since the disease re-appeared
in April. They are at least three day,
that il one day out Of every 10000" "
81. Louis, July 2.-The cholera has
disappeared from Alton, ILL.,; ten deaths

On the 28th, there was one death at Jack

Missouri, on the Cd ult. and ragged vio-

more than 20 or 80 white individuals. y
The same paper adds, that the disease
was making most frightlul havoc in the
