A Mechanically Case

On the last trip up Of the St. Croix a
family Of immigrants was landed at this
place, having the seeds Of Cholera planted
within them. In few days four Of the
number, including the heads Of the family,
had fallen victims to that fearful disease.
Five orphan children were thus thrown
upon the charity of the world, but soon
found comfortable homes in the families Of
our citizens. Every thing possible was
done, by both males and females Of the
place to render the situation Of the sick
comfortable, and when at last the stern
monitor summoned them hence they re-
ceivea a respectable burial. Among the
residents Of this place there has been no
case of Cholera. and we hope we may be
enabled to make the same remark with
equal truth at the close Of the season.

TEErorALIsM IN WIscossIs.-They

The Legislature has passed law, recent
~, requiring all persons who would vend
or retail "spirituoas liquors" to give bond
to the town authorities, with three sure
ties, in $1,000, "conditionalto pay all dam
ages the community or individuals may
sustain by reason Of such traffic; to sup
port all paupers, widows and orphans pay
the expenses Of all civil and criminal pro-
secutions made,> growing out Of, or justly
attributable to such traffic" And it is
made the duty Of the officer holding the
bond to deliver it to "any person who may
claim TO be injured by said traffic." We
should think this would give quietus to

The CHoLERA.-From the following, which we
take from the st Louis New Era oflast Monday even
ing, it will be seen that the cholera is on the increase
in & Louis. We have reason to expect it will visit
this place. As far human means can do it, every
effort to avert It's ravages should be employed. The
streets, alleys and premises throughout the town
should be thoroughly cleansed. IT there 10 not
enough, extra. officers should be appointed to see
that this il done. Lime and other cisnfectpx agents
should be freely scattered over the city and tempe
rance in all things should be strictly adhered to.
The CHoLEaA.-R Reports were in cir
cuIation yesterday, which created no little
alarm, to the effect that the cholera was
raging to fearful extent in the vicinity Of
Green and Sixth streets. Six or eight
cases having terminated fatally in one
house. These reports, we are warranted
in saying, were much exaggerated, but
not wholly unfounded. Several deaths
did occur in that neighborhood as we'll as
in other. parts Of the city, but not TO suf-
flcieM extent as to cause any serions APP
prehensions as TO the ravages Of the dis
ease.

SCHOOL MEETING.

SCHOOL MEETING.
At the annual meeting of this school District, i'm
Guiding the whole Of the City Of Burlington, on
Monaay last. the following named gentlemen were
reelected officers FOR the ensuing year -
JAMES CLARKE, President,
L. D. STOCKTON, Secretary,
JOHN JOHNSON, Treasurer.
The vote Of the last meeting was reconsiderets
and the Directors were authorised to levy tax Fl
one-third per cent. on all the taxable property OF
Burlington, for the purchase of three eligible sites
on which to erect school Houses. II is presumed
that the Directors win lay the foundation Of at least
one Of the buildings the coming fall. The tax OF
this and the next year will probably be sufficient to
erect two suitable buildings. In the meantime au-
thorty has been given the Board to rent four suita-
BILE buildings for the purpose Of putting a. many
schools in immediate operation in the District. Du-
ring the fall and winter, materials are 10 be pur-
chased, 80 that commencement may be made and
one school house least be built early in the spring.
The meeting was wen attended, and several gen.
tlemen made remarks. They all professed to aim
at the same object ana laudable degree of harmo-
ny prevailed. The great obstacle in carrying out
the plan agreed upon 1t former meeting was the
fear ofexeessive taxation during the presentyea
and the fact that no available means from this tax
could be realized until the close OF the year.
TO commence the buildings without any immediate
means Of paying for work or materials, ii was
thought might operate injuriously 10 the cause and
add greatly TO their cost.

facts authorize. We know that the amount OF hogs
cnt up in Burlington the past season was greater
than at any other point in Iowa. The Republican
sets down the number at Kcokuk At $4,000; Bur-
