in the surrounding neighberhood. In Lexington,
We regret to say, IL is the increase. On Sunday

says;-"W have heard with pain Of the exist
ence Of cholera at Shirley, in most malignant
form. MIR. Carter, mp TO Saturday evening, had
lost ~ OF his negroes-he greater portion OF them
smaD-and others had been attacked. We pre-
rune there Is no gentleman IN the State who pays
more attention to the comfort and health OF his
wants than Mr. Carter, which makes the virn-
lencc OF the epidemic at his plantation the more
/ remark table Since the appearance of the cholera
there, he and hIs family have remained at home
and devoted their whole time to the sick; aud he
4 has endeavored 10 obtain the best medical advice
this city affords. We learn that the alarm through
the country round about Shirley Is great, that
IL has be en- very difficult TO procure assistance to
bury the dead The common, but erroneous no.
ton Is, that the disease is contagious, and hence
I the alarm.
