Of the cholera abthe Sault Ste. Marie. The De-

disease is Capt. Daniel Hicks, of Adrian, who ar
rived there but few weeks since, to enter upon
the discharge of his duties as Receiver of Public

NANKM.-Most if not all the nankin now sold
in our market Says the Scientific Amsrican) is of
American fabric. 1t is manufactured from nankin
cotton, grown in Georgia, and is spun and woven
at the Lonsdale Mills in Rhode Island. The cul-
ture of the rankin cotton was introduced to this
country by the late John Forsyth, formerly Minis
terto Spain, afterwards Secretary of State, under
the administrations of Gen, Jackson and Martin
Van Buren,. 1t is now grown in large quantities
by many of the planters of Georgia, and commands
a ready sale at high prices. Mr.. Forsyth Says the
Savannah GeOrgian) procured the seed from the
American Consul at Canton, and, at the outset,
the project Of growing it in this country was
deemed wild and chimerical. 1t is of darker
hue than the China article, and not handsome.

State Fair, and seen, at Oswego, exten-
sve arrangements made for visiting it, he
determined to go himself; and he went
accordingly While there, he picked up
pennies by running errands, watching
cattle, &C., and SO lived in the crowd
without attracting any peculiar attention.
But after the Fair closed he did not get
along SO well, and used to wander about
the canal, walking to the neighboring vii
lagos and returning to Syracuse at night,
as his fancy dictated. 1t was while thus
wandering about on the ,towpath, during
the darkness and rain, that he fell on a
stone, badly cutting his head and face,
and rendering him so iasensible, that he
laid out in the rain during the whole
night. 1t was not until the day following
that he was found and cared for He is
now with his parents--a bright, good
looking and happy little fellow, and will
we trust, remain, TO compensate them for
the uputterable griefwhich his three years
absence has caused them. We have the
name Of the wretch by whom the boy was
enticed from his home; but Mr.. B. does
not, at present. wish Unpublished. She is
the wife of respectable man of some
property in Oswego, who processes to be
ignorant of the manner in which the boy
was obtained. He says that she account
ed satisfactorily to him for the possession
of the boy. but refused to give her story,
when Mr.. Bart saw him on Sunday. The
case will undergo legal examination,
and it is to be hoped that the guilty par
ties may be visited with the EXTREMIST
penalties of the law.-Aibaay Er. Jour.
