Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.
CINCINNATI, (Ohio,) August 5, 1884.
II gives me great pleasure to inform you, that
from the best information | can obtain, the
Cholera has left us. Some of our most res
pectable physicians Informed me, yesterday,
that they had not for the preceding day or two
been called 10 a single case. Our official week
ly report of deaths, is made up every Wednes-
es-of which, 20 were by Cholera. 1t is ex-
pected the report for this week will be much
less Up TO this time, il is estimated the whole
number that have fallen victims to this disease,
the present season, is about 60, and mostly a.
mong the sober and moral class OF citizens, We
nv few confirmed drunkards have taken the
disease. In Fulton, 1t was mostly comm
ed 10 females, and some few men OF good
habits. Some Incorporate men were attacked
but generally recovered. 1t has been very
much the same in Cincinnati. 1t has again
made its appearance in Newport. Opposite this
city,o and three or four have died At New
town, some ten miles from this (many cases
have occurred below the city, not case has
been reported.
There were but l2l deaths in this city last
week, number considerably below that of the
previous week. Out of these so were Children
making the number Of deaths among our adult
population but 39.-Phl GAG.
We publish to-day the report Of the interments
in this city for the week, from which 1t VIII De
seen that there Is considerable dimnuton OF
the deaths in comparison with the last week--a
language which needs no commentary from u.s.
We must be permitted to say, while on this
subject that as our Board of Health and city
authorities are exerting themselves to keep the
city in its present clean and healthy condition,
il will require the cooperation or their lenow-
citizens generally to enect II. IL Is not the hlost
nublic streets that require attention; 1t IS the
rs. the alleys, the by-ways. 1t is here that
t.s greatest care is required, and we invite the
asention OF all to the subject. Let our citizens
iook for themselves, and see that the cutters and
Yards connected with their premises are daily
cleansed, as the ordinances of the corporation
require, and it viii not only preserve the health
of their respective neighborhoods, but tend
much to their own comfort and convenience.
