From the Region of Ice and Snow.

Mr.. Ayre has just arrived at St Paul, from the
Red Lake Mission, several hundred miles north
Of Us, in latitude forty EIGHT degrees north Red
Lake is the source of one branch Of Red River,
which, after course of about 500 miles, forms
confluence with Otter Tail River, and then takes
the name of Red River The branch flowing from
the lake is about half as large as the Merrimac at
Lowell. Red Lake is about thirty miles long and
ten miles wide, abounds with fsh-particularly the
white fsh-of which the Ojibway Indians upon its
shores, numbering over nine hundred, take large
fresh, strung upon poles, in the smoke of their
cabins, for winter subsistence. Salt lakes are
found in those regions, however, of which the
water yields salt in the proportion of one part of
salt to three parts Of water. These Ojibways "a
name synonymous with Chippeways) are repre-
sented to be quite industrious even the men en-.
gage in agriculture with the women and girls, the
boys alone being exempt fom labor. Last sea-
son they raised $500 bushels of corn, much of it
being sold by them.to the traders for clothing and
supplies, at $l.50 per bushel. They also raised
1900 bushels of excellent potatoes-the potatoe
rot being unknown there. Many of the Ojibways
have built log houses to live in. The past season
they have been more prosperous than usual and
have had no murders committed among them late
ly, owing to the efficient agency of Mr.. Rice, and
of Gen. Fletcher, agent of the Winnebagoes, in
intercepting the traffic in whiskey, formerly car
ried on at Crow-wing. The past winter has not
been unusually severe. The greatest depth of
snow was about sixteen inches. Besides groves
of pine timber, the most usual kinds of forest wood
are the pitch-pine, tamarac, sugar maple and elm
The soil is generally poor, and rather sandy, with
occasional spots Of considerable fertility. In win
ter the principal mode of travelling is on sledges
or trains, drawn each by two or three small dogs,
with sharp ears and resembling the dogs of the
Esquimaux. The traders generally drive larger
breed of English cur-dogs-of which the price is
usually from five to twelve dollars each, accord
ing to their docty, strength and action. Mr.. Ayre
intends to drive some working oxen back with him
to Red Lake. Teams and farming utensils are
much needed and desired by the Ojibways. They
will come down TO Saint Paul after considerable
amount of supplies, probably In June, or about the
time of the arrival of the caravans here from the
Selklrk and Red River observation-disclosures

"The Cholera has been manifestly on the de-
cline Since the fatal days of the 9h l0th and ilh

| The vistatons OF the cholera in Louisiana are
thus noted in the New Orleans papers
CHOLERA IN THE CoUNTRY.-The Concordia
Intelligencer of the 9th says that the excitement
in that vicinity caused by cholera has abated. 1t
has visited but few places in the parish, excepting
near the lower line, where it was very seve1e.--
In Natchez and Adams county, (Mss.) the cases
have been very few. In Tensas parish-neigh-
borhood of Waterproof, where 1t was terribly fatal
AS well as elsewhere, cholera has almost en-
tirely disappeared for the time The plantation
of James Miller, which was nearly depopulated,
has been provided with another complement Of
hands, all Of whom are busy and healthy. In
Madison parish there is but one place among those
still RACES, the place of Col. Player. In Carroll
parish the disease continues, and we have heard
of number of deaths lately. The sickness that
has run an unusual long course on the rich clus-
ter of plantations belonging to DR.. Stephen Dun
can and family, situated in Issaquena county,
miss and known as Stack Island Reach, "a reach
of nine miles, has abated. On DR.. Duncans plan

The Nashville Wing, of June IA, says:
The cholera is in more malignant form in
city at this time than on any former occasion.
The number of burials on Tuesday was seven
teen twelve of them from cholera and five from
on yesterday there were ten burials, eight from
cholera, and two from other diseases"
A despatch from St. Louis of the l9 says:
The avarage deaths by cholera during the six
days have been fifty-fve per day. The report for
the week, ending on Sunday night numbers 439
of cholera and 76 of other diseases. The disease
is on the increase"
CHOLERA AT BUFFALO, IN. Y.)-From the Seth
ultimo to the 18th instant inclusive, there were
thirty-four cases of cholera and thirteen deaths-l
On the 10th inst. no new case was reported. and
on the 18th and l7th only one case occurred each
day. One on the 18th terminated fatally.
DEATHS FROM CHOLERA IN RIcHMoND.-There
have occurred in Richmond, from the Both May to
The evening of the 18th June inclusive only thirty
five deaths from cholera of these II were whites
and eighteen blacks. This statement is made up
from the entries OH the books of the Shockoe Hill
Burying Ground, and may be regarded as perfect |
y reliable. Persons at distance can readily
perceive that cholera prevails in this city very
The population of the city may be

To have fine Mutton.

The sheep, as soon as killed, should be dlsem-
boweled. Ii is the neglect to remove the entrails
at once, and not the meat being touched by the
wool, which imparts to it that strong mutton taste.
The reason of this is, that the warmth Of the body,
carried off by the loss of blood, is for time sup
piled from the warmth of the bowels, and thus the
Objectionable taste created.

music, which distinguishes the meanest artist from
