brunt of the most violent and exciting opposition, in
which was mingled a feeling of bitter personal hos

masters of parliamentary law, yet his decisions
against their demands were uniformly sustained by
the House. His supporters and opposers were alike
astonished at The prompiness with which b $ opinions

CHOLERA IN New BosToN, lathe following let
ter was written by a highly respectable gentleman
living near Liberty. Indiana, 10 a physician in this
city, by whom we were kindly permitted to make
some extracts.-Lou. Courier.
LIBERTY, IND, July 10th, IS49.
Dear Sir Our friendly acquaintance, and a de-
sire to do good and to get good, is my only apology
for this. You have perhaps noticed the mortality of
New Boston, a small village near this. The popula-
ton was some rs souls, I9 have died in and near the
place, within a few days. The village is at this time
deserted, and a gloom is thrown over the neighbour
hood, such as never was, on any previous occasion,
realized. Such indeed, are the fears of the people,
that il seems to have destroyed all feeling of moral
obligation. or even natural affection. Sons have been
refused admittance into the parental house-brotbers
and sisters have been driven from the closed doors of
relatives-and, what is, if possible, more pitiable
still, when they have died, relatives and friends re-
fuse to see them, or 10 assist, in the least, TO perform
the last solemn obligations which the living owe to
the dead. Truly, the state of things under the pres
ent alarm is awful indeed. There were two resident
physicians in Observation-Disclosures of whom pos
sessed, in an eminent degree, the confidence of their
hllow-citizens as skillful men. But alas, when the
terrible scourge made its appearance among them
'another spirit came DER their dream" Early in its
commencement. the younger one fell-and the other
fled for life. Before leaving, however, he treated
some ten or fifteen cases with UNMARRIED success-ev-
cry one died. This is said to have been his prescrip-
tion IL or. Calomel. 2 of Opium and 5 of pepper
mint. And this his graphic direction flake one
ity attending the disease, that when a member of a
family is taken, one starts for a coffin, and the other
members to digging the grave. This last | give from
well authenticated reDOrt.

1t will be seen by the following, that the last report
Of the board of health was altered after it was hand
ed in to the Sentinel and Locomotive for publication
yet, knowing this, the Sentinel tries to avail itself Of
a report which it kneU had been altered by the board.
The alteration was neglected to be given to the
Journal:
Nh. DEGREES :-Dear Sir neglected 10 inform
YOU that the last report of the Board of Health was,
subsequent to being handed in for publication. altered
to read thus, "that up to this time no case of cholera
has been reported to u.s." as it appeared in the other
papers. ID. FUNKHoUsER.
What now becomes Of the authority, "three to
one,' in favor of the Sentinel's position.-JoWnGl,
July 81.
IF we properly appreciate the above remarks of the
Journal, its design is to practice an infamous decep-
ton upon the community, and to assail US with a most
infamous falsehocd. IF the Journal means to insin.
uate, as it appears to do. that we did not publish the
report, as it was handed to us by DR.. Funkhousel
himself, it is guilty of a barefaced lie. We have the
manuscript copy of the report, and anybody can in
spect it, who desires to do so.
The note of DIR. Funkhovser, above, appears to
be a little mysterious, and we think we understand
the ''moving cause Of it. IF he makes a true state.
rent, he is unfortunate, to say the least. The re-
port, as it appeared in our paper, was dated on the
18th as it appeared in the Journal, in a different
form, il was dated on the 20th,-a day Afterwards
and was in fact and in law, a different report. DR.
f. may have seen cause to change his mind, and &c
discredit his own report, for reasons satisfactory Il
himself. If so, so be it. We have only to repeat
that we appealed to the record as it stood and thai
it fully sustained US. 1t is too late now to amend
that record for the accommodation of any party toe
lac. especially, as the Board do not get state thai

SHOCKING NEeLEcT-PANIc.-The following state
menti is gathered from the ST. Mary's Sentinel of the
18th instant.
On Thursday a respectable looking stranger was
in the town enquiring for employment as a journey
man tailor. He did not find work, and started down
the canal on the tow path. The next morning six
miles below town, he was found on the tow path, suf-
fering under a supposed attack of cholera. The nan
that discovered him. and the whole neighborhood be-
came so panic stricken. that the sufferer vas left on a
few bushes by the side of the canal TO die, without
attendance, medicine, food or even a cup of water
He died the same day! Two men mustered courage
enough to throw around the body some rails. and
left it exposed until the next day when several citi-
zens went down from town and buried the stranger.
The Buffalo Republic states that the body OF a Mr..
Robinson, who died of cholera, was during the whole
afternoon, suffered to lie exposed in the sun, on the
side walk in front of the house on N. Division street,
with nothing over him but the clothes in which he
hdied.
FUNNY CHOLERA CAsE.-The Philadelphia Spirit
of the Times of Saturday, notices a cholera case in
that city, quite as remarkable as some of those re-
ported here. A woman, residing at the corner of
10th and Parrish streets, was taken suddenly i'll. A
doctor was sent for when he came, he said she had
a severe attack of Asiatic cholera, and treated her for
such but in the course of the afternoon another doc
tor was sent for, who gave her relief by bringing to
the world a beautiful daughter.

two, the breach of one or the other of
which will explain almost every case of
gross failure on the part Of virtuous
parents, which we have ever known.
They are these:
l. Keep your children from bad
company; and
2. Make them obey you.
There is no time to enlarge on these
points: but il seems TO US that habits of
insubordination at home, and the COM
pany of bad boys abroad, are the two
great sources Of evil, which undo SO
much of what moral and religious in
struction would otherwise effect. The
current Of parental interest ia setting
towards mere instruction 10 such an
extent as 10 overrate altogether its pow
er; and the immense injury which comes
in from such sources as insubordina-
ton and bad company, is overlooked
and forgotten. What folly to think
that boy can play with the profane,
impure, passionate boys, who herd in
the streets, six days in the week, and
have The stains all wiped away by be-
ing compelled to learn. his Sunday
school lesson, on the seventh; or that
children who made the kitchen or the
nursery scenes of riot and noise, from
the age Of three to eight years, will be
prepared for any thing in after life but
to carry the spirit of insubordination
and riot wherever they may GO. No;
children should be laugh, most certain
", bu, they must also be taken care of.
They must be governed at home, and
kept from concentrating influences
from abroad. orsthey are ruined. If
parents ask, how shall we make our
children obey? we answer, in the east
est and pleasantest way you can, but at
all events make them obey. If you ask,
how shall we keep our boys from bad
company? we answer. too,.. in the east
est and Pleasantest way you possibly
can, but a. all events keep them out of
the streets. The alternative,Tit seems
10 US, is as clear and decided as any
which circumstances ever made up for
man; but you must govern your chill
dren and keep them away from the
contamination of vice, or you must ex.
pect to spend your old age in mourning
over the ruins ofyour family.

FAMILY GOVERNMENT.

In looking into human life, and see
ing how entirely dependent for haPpi- |
ness and character the child is upon the |
parent, we cannot but consider it one
of the greatest of the innumerable mys-
leries of Divine Providence, that one
being should be SO completely in the
hands of another. The wonder is in
creased by thinking how much skill,
how much knowledge, how much firm
ness, what decision at one time, and
what delicacy of moral truth, if may
so express it, al another, are necessary,
IN order to succeed in training up the
infant mind as it ought to be trained.
1t would sometimes almost seem that
God has given to parents work to do,
of such intrinsic difficulties, as very
far exceed the capacities and the pow
ers Of those whom he has commission.

view, 10 be a want of correspondence
between what, in wisely balanced
plan, we might suppose ought to be
nicely adapted TO each other,--the NOR

moral necessities ofthe child. We say
at first view, for on mature reflection
we can discover similar principles
which common sense and honest faith.
fulness will always suggest, and which,
steadily pursued, must secure favorable
results Among the lower classes of
society, we find many, very many fami-
lies of children we'll brought up, and
among the higher classes, and those too,
where virtue and Christian principle
seem to reign, and where religious in
struction is profuseIy given, we find
total failure. The children are sources
of trouble and wretchedness. TO their
