Herald states that there is the best reason to believe
this adroit swindler is one of the robbers of the
store of Messrs. Hildeburn g. Watson, of PhiIadel-

property stolen. When arrested he sold or placed
some $1,000 worth of the watches as collateral Sc
curity for the $500 ball. by which he hoped to get
free, but his accommodating friend ran away, and
he left in durance. 1t is said that portion of
the stolen property has been recovered.

Ledru Lolin ON the Uitness stand.-A
letter from Paris in the Journal Of Com
meree says:
d Ledru Rollin, the generallissimo of the
democratic parties, was examined as a
witness at the trial at Bourges of the con-
spirators Of May. He went cool|y and,
in The French sense, cynically, into the
following digression:-'G will tell you
how we revolutionary republicans set to
work. We sieze and turn to account some
idea or topic sympathetic to the people,
ad captandum. W. do not say whittier we
90, but the ball is set in motion; when the
obnoxious government is overturned, we,
by a device tour not less ingenious and
adroit, substitute another government OF

Cholera on a Western Stea mboat.-In

Cholera on a Western Steam boat.-In
the Philadelphia North Amrican oflhe 9th
nit, is a letter written by a lady, desert
bing the horrors which she saw, and part
of which she suffered, on board the steam
er Monroe, which left St. Louis early in
May for St. Joseph, on the Missouri river
with several hundred passengers. The
cholera broke out on board, and by the
time they had reached Jefferson City, the
boat Was strewed with the dead, the dying
and the sick. The voyage was broken
up there, and two hundred passengers,
with the seeds of the pestilence in there
systems, we're set ashore in that quiet viii
lage. The Captain abandoned the boat;
leaving unburied dead bodies on board,
locked himself up till right, refused to
have any communication with any per-
sons. and and at night left for St. Louis,
where he died of the edipemic immedi-
ately after his arrival. The clerk and the
owner also abandoned the boat, the crew
and passengers.
The people eff Jefferson City behaved
with great humanity. An association OF
young men was formed to feed the sick.
The Episcora! and Presbyterian church.
es, and ar %unoccupied hotel, were turn
ed into hospitals, and the vacant houses
in town placed at the disposition of the
sick. In less than a week SIXTY of the
passengers died, and in a short time there's
after twenty-f ve of the generous citi-
zen persisted by the fell disease. The
writer herself lost within three DAYS her
father, mother, brother and sister, aud on
the fourth day was herself attacked, but by
diligent care recovered.
This dreadful story is but one of count-
less numbers, with which the Western pa
pers are %freighted; of scarcely less fright
fuI destruction by this epidemic. The
most deadly devastations have been
apparently reserved for the Western
waters, upon which the mortality is
appalling. There must be some excl
ting cause in the atmosphere of these
localities upon which the cholera feeds;
but there is no doubt that the want of in
slant medical aid, and skillful nursing in
the first attack of the disease, has greatly
aggraved the mortality among those attac-
ked.
