Gentlemen,-
In mine of yesterday, / had merely
time to notice few of the cases OF
cholera that have occurred here; TO
day find an opportunity by friend
going to New York TO say something
in addition to yesterdays letter.
The first case was brought to the
city by the Lady of The Lake steamer,
on the evening of Friday the 18th inst.
and the second case came in the Cana.
da, and others of our Quebec steamers,
which came into port the same night
as the Lady. AS soon as these ceases
had been examined by physicians, the
shed on the common Of st. Ann TO the
South of the city, which had been APP
Propriated as place of shelter for emf
grants, was cleared its inmates, and
converted into a hospital; where they
both died before The evening of the
18th, Saturday. One or two of our
physicians seemed to hesitate in pro-
nounclng these TO be cases of Asiatic
cholera; but on the following day, a
case occurred in the st. Lawrence
suburbs SO well marked that all doubts
were at an end. La the evening of the
same day, a soldier in the barracks
was seized. A second case occurred
in the garrison early on Monday, in
consequence Of which, orders were
issued combining the soldiers to the
barracks, and prohibiting all inter-
course with the city.
On Tuesday death, occurred in
the Hospital; but-none as far as |
could learn, in private dwellings.
On "Wednesday the death -of your
fellow citizen Mr.. Ho ward, aEl Dir.
Teulon, caused some alarm, but the
favorable state of the public health
since, has rendered all calm and tran
quill. During the last "a hours | have
not heard of one new cusc.
o'clock r. M.
About half aa hour ago, visited the cholera
Hospital. There have been five deaths TO day
and three patients remain in the hospital, two Of
W HON are eonyalecent, and one IN arfictito mar
lis.
The sexton of the Catholic ccmetary has Just
informed me that h. has in all 20 deaths from
cholera on his register Yesterday there were
eleven interments at the Catholic burial ground
and have been verbally Informed that there
we're six intermcnts at the Prot, slant burial |
grounds. Perhaps il would be about the truth 10 |
ay that were cases Of cholera, and Snot
The presence Of cholera has had very little eff |
ect on business here. St. Paul street Notre
)ame street, the wharyes and the canal side ex-
ibt their usual hustle. There is no panic-aIl
Gem determined to meet il with frmmess and |
ave considerable confidence in entertaining a
opc, that neither in the injury 10 business whtth.
r in alarm, or mortality, will the present vista
ion, equal that Of 1892. May every city on this
ointment be enabled to realize a similar result
p. $. have just heard from Qurbec A We
Y few cases occur daily, bu, no alarm or increase
the disease is visible.
