The CHoLERA.-It has become our painful
duty to announce that this disease has recently
made its appearance in various parts OF the ad-
Joining county of Washington, attended in some
instances with symptoms of great violence. On
Wednesday night, 29th ult., at the farm OF Mr..
John Roberts. (near the junction Of hardn's
creek with the Beech Fork, two negroes belong
ing to Mr r were attacked, who died next day.
Mr.. Roberts family, previous to that time, we
are informed, consisted OF himself. has lady aud
five children, and nine blacks-l6 in all.
On Wednesday evening. last, there remained
only Mr.. r., his lady, three children and two
bIacks-two Of the children and seven blacks
having expired. Every member OF the family,
white and black, were attacked; but on the day
last mentioned, "Wednesday, the 5th.) arrange
ments were made BY persons in town Tor the re-
moval Of those that were living; and, we are hap
Nv to say, they are now believed to be in state
OF convaescence.
Such, we are informed, was the alarm 10 Mr..
Roberts neishborhood, when it became known
that his family were afflicted with the cholera,
that sufficient number could not be found pos
sessins courage enough to assist, in burying the
dead who were ultimately inferred by young
men from this town. Nevertheless Sisters Of
Chari;u, attached to Nazereth and Laretto In
stitutlons, fastened to relieve the sufferers, and
laboured assiduously, night and day,in alternating
their distresses; and II is with heart elt sorrow
that we record that one of these belonging to
Loretto, has fallen martyr in the cause OF pure
and disinterested charity. She died on Wed
nesdav. We have not learnt her name: but may
we not presume that it will be found in that page
on wh,ch is inscribed the name OF The Good
Sa,naritan?' ~
We have the pleasure TO inform orr readers
that not a case has yet originated in Bardstown
or Nelson county.
P. S We have just learned that the Rev.
Wm Byroes, Principal Of 81. Mary's Seminary,
died on "Wednesday evening. at o'clock, hav-
