The deaths in Philadelphia for the last week

The ChOlera-.-Dread Of its Appearance.

We daily hear expressions of fdeep-toned alarm
that this scourge will visit Lcwistown, and lay
low in the tomb its quota ofyictims. 1t may be
so--it probably will visit US, but why this alarm
respecting that which is not yet here, or if it
viii be, may not spread as an epidemic'
Fear, it is well known, has Z most injurious
effect on health, and those who indulge in this
unnecessary feeling, may fit themselves for be-
coming victims of the very disease they might
under other circumstances escape. For our
part we do not see the necessity of making ones
self miserable on account Of cholera. Were it
the only disease that people die of, there would
be some cause for alarm, and some excuse for
weakening the body and mind by suffering the
Imagination TO prey on them but as people also
die of other diseases, it is better to cheer up
while life and health are yours, than despond
under imaginary Affections. Care ought un-
dOubtedly to be taken-exposure ayoidcd--oyer-
Indulgence in fruits and vegetables guarded
against-medicines Stunned, unless good cause
exists for taking them-and no sudden change
in the mode of living adopted. This is about
all that can consistently be done and if the
cholera comes, it will not be your fault if you
DO not escape it.

One of our contemporaries has drawn atten-
tion TO the fact that this able and influential
whig journal has thus far not received dollars
worth cf government advertising, Strange as
it may appear, we believe it IS nevertheless
true, and, like in appointments to Office, affords
another illustration ofthe truth that those who
best deserve 10 be rewarded and sustained, are
frequently the most neglected. No paper in
