Rev. J. DuPRE.-Death whose mighty
hand spares not, has bereft us of this truly
good man. On Monday morning, (l9thi inst.)
at 10 CLOCK, he breathed his last, after years
OF suffering the effects Of his disease. To
our readers and ourselves his is heavy loss.
His pen, ever active, furnished, through our
columns instruction and amusement; his last
papers, being in continuation Of some remarks
on Novel Reading. To the Church and his
flock to whom he was ever careful shep-
herd, his loss is irreparable. A crowd Of
friends, each regretting his loss, followed his
remains to that ''bourne from which no trav-
eller returns" and many there are, who, al
though not within the pale Of his church, who
dneply deplore his loss. Rev. N. GRAHAM
delivered brief but very impressive and SOL
emn address over his remains, which brought
tears to the eyes Of his auditory. 1t will be
long ere we meet his like again, for in truth
good and worthy brother has been taken
from us. "Blesscd are they who die in the
Lord"

CHOLERA IN SANDUSKY CITY,
July 26th, l849.
SANDTSKY CITY, July 80.

SANDTsKY CRY, July 80.
The condition of this city at the present time
is fearful and heart-rendng from the effects of
cholera. For some days past, the epidemic has
been making rapid strides here, and ii has now
reached a crisis which threatens to involve the
most awful consequences.
Out of population of three thousand, there
are not to-day more than seven hundred persons
remaining.
The deaths during the last two days amount
to about one hundred.
Most Of The inhabitants who have escaped
sickness up 10 this period, have left the city in
dismay.
Business of every description is entirely sus-
pended. The post office, the hotels, and stores
are all closed.
Many physicians have already fallen victims
to the dreadful disease, and those who have es.
capped the malady have precipaely fled from
the region of death.
The sick are suffering dreadlully from want
Of medical and other care-the living not only
being unable TO attend 10 their wants, but even
to barry the dead.
None can be found either to dig graves or to
make coffins.
The markets are entirely deserted, and the
remaining inhabitants are under the necessity
of sending to Cleveland and other ports on the
lake for provisions and medical assistance.
