HEALTH OF CAMDEN.-The general health
of Camden continues to be good, and only a
few cases Of serious sickness have yet occurred.
We repeat the assurance to the travelling
public that not the slightest risk is incurred by
,arrying in our Town. Notwithstanding the
general good health Of our citizens, and our re-
peated notices of it, we learn that some of our
distant friends do our Town the injustice to be-
ieve il not safe to remain in it any length Of
time. We assure them that they arc greatly
mistaken, and that the liabilities to contract dis
ease here, would bear favorable comparison
with any town or village in the State. =

ABSENCE OF ELECTRICITY.


II is known that Or. AvpRAuD of Paris, has
set OIL foot the theory That The want Of A,mos.
pheric electricity is the cause of cholera. This
theory is opprsed by Professor Dlmstead and
others. Aud the prevailing opinion seems to
obtain that the facts do moi support the theory,
since in many places the cholera rages where
there IS much thunder and lightning. AsMorsc
has been lingering in lightning asd has taught
il to carry and write news, / wonder he does
not say something about this matter. One
thing is certain, too little is not mnlc dangerous
,l'an too much, when applied TO living beings.
One of orr ciiiz"ns last week had his horse
killed. aud two negroes knocked out of their
wits by this mysterious aud powerful AGENT
We are informed that while tIe cholera was
raging in Cincinnati and Louisville, the hands
in the sas-works Of those places, were not in a
single instance attacked by this dreadful scourge.
If this fact is to be accounted for upon the score
OF the disinfectanls, such us suphur carbon,
ammonia DC. which are set free Gom coal,
during The making Of pure hydrogen gas, or
from the naturalization Of ozone by The gas
ITSELF then the evil Of the absence oI electricity
i'll the atmosphere, is moi without remedy. Fol-
our part we would sooner trust 10 these disin-
frctnn.s. than 10 The use OF The battery with
which to charge ourselves with The electrical
