There have, since last Friday, so iaI
as we have been able 10 ascertain, been
eight deaths in town, Of which, six have, to

been taking medicine TO reduce an inllam-

first approach Of the cholera for therght ope-
ration Of the medicine she vas taking, until
it was too late to avert the effects Of the
fatal error. She was an accomplished and
esiimable young lady.

good habits, died on Wednesday of cholera.

day, Of cholera also a child OF Mr.. Barton;
both in West Ottawa.
Mr.. uaugh,aling, quite aged, died on
Wednesday. There was, we believe, no
symptom of cholera about his disease.
