Notwithstanding the malicious report respecting
the presence of the prevailing epidemic at this re-

cases, all of which had proved fatal. Such is the
mendacity that has been practised to prevent people
from coming here. And | am told that several

CAPE MAY.-We learn, says the PHILADELPHIA Ne,cs,
from Cape May that the season has ooened with
the most delightful weather and bathing. Thurs-
day, Friday and Saturday of last week, were the
hottest days ever known at Cape Island, but since
then the sea breezes prevail, and the temperature
is pleasant. The place is perfectly healthy-being
free from all description Of disease. But one case
OF cholera has ever been known at Cape Island.
In September, 1882, young lady who lived there,
eat, one afternoon, very freely OF water-melons and
other fruits, and then exercised freely on the
shore. she was attacked with cholera that night,
and died in four hours. Perhaps no watering
place in the country offers more probabilities for
exemption from the prevailing epidemic, with pro-
per precautions md ordinary prudence on the part
OF visitors There are now about one thousand
visiters on the Island.
