CHOLERA.

Health Reported two cases Of fCholera--both fatal
These, it appears were the only cases during the
week. The city authorities taking every pre-
caution to ward off the disease.
| The North American of Monday says
From our exchanges and the telegraphic reports
we CLEAN the following statistics of the cholera al
the various points where it is known to prevail
! On the plantation of Col Bibb, Louisiana, "a
State, % slaves had been swept away by the cpl
demic. 1t is curious fact that no deaths by
cholera have occurred at any of the cotton mills as
yet. AT Laredo, in Texas, the whole town is in
mourning, so great have been the ravages of the
disease. Among its victims are 200 Mexicans
and soldiers of the lst regiment U. S. Infantry
Five members of the Boston and Essex Mining
Company died Of cholera at the same place. At
Petersburg, Va, the Board of health have declared
against salt fish and shell fish, and the Mayor has
made the selling of them penal offence. On
board the steamer Josiah Lawrence during the
last trip from New Orleans to St. Louis, there
were 100 cases of cholera among $50 passengers! !
up to the Sd inst. there had been ID deaths of
cholera, all in one location. At Nyack, Rockland
county, n. Y, during week. there were l2 cases
and deaths. At Albany N. Y, no cases were
officially reported, but the Evening Journal says
that several had occurred, one of which was
very severe. At st. Louis and Cincinnati, also,

Death of General Gaines.

An Official Teegraphic Despatch was yester-
day received at the War Department, communica-
ting the sad intelligence of the death of Brevet
Major General EDMUND PENpLEToN GAINES, of
the United States Army, He died on the 9th in
slant in the city of New Orleans, (said to be of
cholera,) whilst in command of the Western Di-
vision of the Army Of the United States.
We have not time to day to prepare all extended
notice of the departed General, but will mention
two facts respecting him which we now happen TO
remember, He was, according to military grade,
the second officer in rank in the army, Major Gen
eral ScoTT having for long time been the senior
General in the service. The particular exploit
that gave General GAINES his distinguished repu-
tation his conduct at Fort Erie in 1913, which
he defended with great ability from the night at
tack of powerful British force, under the COM
mand Of General Drummond-the loss ofthe Brit
ish amounting to 962, while that of the Americans
was only "a. In regard to age, General GAINES
was the Senior Officer of the American Army
having entered the service as Ensign in January,
1893; and he has left behind him name which
will adorn the annals of our country National

WIDER VS.. Cholera

When the Cholera visited London in 1882 and
'33, the city authorities had small quantities OF
gunpowder tied tightly in strong paper and fired
in the alleys densey populated portions of the
great metropolis The conclusion disturbed the
air, and the odor from the powder displaced OBJ
noxous effluHa and purified the atmosphere. 1t
was used in theatres. churches and school rooms,
and was found to be powerful disinfecting agent,
the smell remaining upwards of "a hours in the
buildings twas used in the lazarettos of Trieste
and Malta, and was tried in 1893, and also In Mon
treal In the latter city cannon were placed in
the narrow streets and fired with blank cartridges
In some OF the western towns recently afflicted,
the same remedy has been tried with success.
