Appearance of the Cholera In san Francisco
The Cholera had appeared at San Francisco

California of the 23d October gives the following
particulars of the origin of the disease
Our citizens were startled yesterday morning
bv the report that vessel had arrived III the har.
Dor, having on board a large number OF cases Of
Cholera. The vessel proved to be the schooner
g. H. Montague, Capt. Meek. She sailed from
|
GERS and a crew OF seven IN NUMBER ana was
bound to Panama. On the day after sailing from
Sacramento City, the cholera broke out among
the passengers, and on that day Franklin Lamb
of Groton Conn. died, and was buried at BenlcIa
Since Monday the following named persons have

sengers are now sick on board. The bodies OF the
six persons mentioned as having died since Mon
day afternoon, were buried yesterday by the city.
The vessel has been ordered into quarantine, and
nurses sent on board to take care of the sick.
The Medical Society was called together last
evening, at the request of the Mayor In addi-
ton to the above four deaths from cholera were
stated to have occurred in the city within TWEEN
ty four fours
A physician who was on board the G.. H. Mon.
tague tn her passage down from Sacramento
City, made a statement on the subject OF the dis
ease as it had manifested itself on board that
vessel. The schooner was IN good condition and
clean. The morning after leaving Sacramento
City he was called to administer to a sick person.
| He found the man on the floor, with every APP
pearance of cholera the man died during the day.
The next day seven cases were treated and on
/ Monday night there were six deaths, There are
also two persons on board In the last stages OF
collapse. The greater portion oil those who died
were from the mining dstricts-hale stout men,
who on Monday morning ate as hearty breakfasts as
any on board. The cholera first made its appear
ance the forward part of the vessel and spread
thence to the cabin.
A Committee Of Five was appointed by the
Medical Society investigate the condition of the
health of the city The establishment OF a
Board of Health was acknowledgements
The disease continued to increase, and the next
day Board Of Health was established with pow
er to act in all matters in any way connected
with the public health. Among the kanakas near
BUSIEST there were two deaths, and five additional
cases were reported. Two Kanaka boatmen, who
had been on board the schooner, died during the
day. -Four more deaths occurred on the 24th Oc-
tober two Kanakas and two Americans, Capt
Simpson the harbor master, had been attacked,
but was convalcscent. On the Goth, thirteen cases
and seven deaths were reported. The deaths &C.
CURED two in Happy Valley, twoat Clark's Point,
| two in the City Hospital and one in the Marine
Hospital.
The San Francisco Epening Picayune of Nov,
has the following remarks on the subject
CHoLERA.-There can be no doubt that this
terrific disease is gradually increasing and in the
great proportion OF cases fatal termination en-
sues. On its first appearance it was judged ex.
| pedient by the city authorities that the whole
truth should be made known to the public, as the
! best means of preventing unnecessary and dan
| gerous alarms but since then 10 mode has been
instituted Tor asCcrtalning the detail of cases daily
occurring, by which the actual progress and cha.
raCter Ct the disease can be satisfactorily shown.
1t is well known that the road leading from town
| towards the cemetery is constantly travelled, by
night as well as by day, by carts loaded with the
| dead An imperfect record Of deaths is kept by
the sexton, and as matter OF favor he allows that
! record to be examined by such persons as he
| in TO tl,a
business he is driving under contract for making
collins ON city account. But there is no system
prescribed, by authority, in regard to interments
or records OF mortality. that respect we proba-
bly, form an exception to the universal practice of
cities OF any considerable magnitude. We doubt
II there be another CITY, OF the size and population
OF San Francisco, IN the nitcd States or even in
the civilized world, where there is not Board of
Health and municipal statutes regulating the in.
terment of the dead, and the preservation of q
record in detail, OF the daily mortality
