Sickness IN Omo,-The Cleveland Herald of
the Sth inst. makes the following remarks in regard
to the health of Ohio:
For years sickness has not been so general and
so severe in the towns of Ohio as at this time. In
addition to the fearful mortality at Sanduskv and
recently at Cincinnati the small and large towns
in the western half Of the State have been much
afflicted. The towns in the neighbOrhood of Gin
cinnati have generally been visited with cholera
and in some Of them the mortality has been great.
Clermont county has been severely afflicted. Co.
lumbus, including the pententiary, shows a fearful
bill of mortality, Dayton has been badly scourgedS
though the epidemic has nearly abated. Xenia,
and the laborers on the railroad in Green county,
