the following is an extract:

SICKNESS IN THE CITY.--CohslueIdple
alarm was felt in our town Sunday and yes
terday on account Of three or four sudden
deaths, which occurred frum something re-
semblng cholera. From all we can learn,
these deaths were the result Of imprudence
in diet, and an omission to resort to medical
aid. In two Of the cases, the bowel COM
plant had been allowed to continue for FIVE
or six days before any medicine was taken,
and in the other cases all kinds Of crude veg
etables and green fruits seem to have been
the habitual regimen. That death should have
ensued in these instances is not surprising
1t is only strange that there have been SO lew
deaths among US, considering the immense
consumption Of green corn, cucumoers' cne,-
ries, unripe apples and raw cabbage when a,
our citizens have INDUCED in during the last
three weeks. !,
Notwithstanding these powerful invitations
10 the dread scourage, we are happy to an
nounce this morning that It has disappeared
altogether. Illinois State Register
sSy-. One Of the most heartless displays of
,oi;tical feeling we ever heard OF, took place
when Sir Robert Peel WAS onhis death-bed. A
wssltbv farmer Of Suffolk county caused the
bells Of the parislrof aBures st. Mary to ring 9
merry peal In another place slandAolder sent
the crier round with the ncws that the taSmeys
