aThe parts of the Miami Country, which are

demic are the townships of Fulton, Columbia,
and Anderson in the south eastern corner, near
the mouth of the Little Miami, and the valleys
of Indian Greek and Paddy's Run, west OF the
Great Miami, in Butler county. An occasional
death has happened in other parts OF the coun-
try. within the last fortnight, but in the locali-
ties. lust mentioned, the mortality has been very
great Fulton township, for instance, out OF
population of 1000, has already lost 30 pro-
portion as great as have died from the Cholera
in Cincinnati, since it first appeared in Septem-
Der, 1892.
At present, all appearances indicate that the
CITY is not likely to be again afflicted The first

little; the second, they suffered very nearly alike;

CHOLERA AT MoNrREAL.-There was some lit
tie excitement i'm the city this morning by the
appearance in the morning papers OF the follow
ing official report of the sanitary authorities oil
Montreal, but on a careful perusal OF the same
we find il by no means alarming as we ap-
pretended from reports. 1t is not at all surprz-
inc that in place like Montreal, in the hottest
weather known for many years, when that CITY
is overlooked by an emigrant population oil the
most miserable and wretched description that
visit our shores, that Sucn an extent OF HoItd-
ty should take place.
II will be SEEN by the following account that
from the llth to the 22d instant, period OF
twelve days, there had been twenty-elght deatns
fraction more than two per day, which Is, tax.
ing every exigency into consideration. as small
number as could have been expected, where
the disease had obtained a foot-hoid.
In this city New York; we are happy to say
that the general health is as good, if not better
than in ordinary seasons in July, and We attri-
butte much of it to the judicious conduct OF the
CITY authorities in cleansing and purifying the
streets. There has been more Afternoon paia "a
to this subject, and that at an early PERIOD OF
the wear, than we ever recollect to have wit
messed; and we have no reason to fear that the
present exertions on the part of the inspectors
will be relaxed We wish, however, that the
staenant waters near the curb stones were
watched with more scrutiny, and wherever II Is
necessary free use of chloride of lime might
be applied. The effluvia from such waters is
most fruitful Of diseases.-N y. Com.
