the following facts One ton of ice, at $40 per tom
is consumed daily; forty gallons Of milk, do; one
hundred dozen of eggs, do Sixteen barrels of flour
used per week, and five hundred pounds of but
ter in the time. The gas bill is $4,000 per
annum. There are one hundred and thirty-five SER
wants, sixty of whom females OF these one
hundred and thirty-6ye servants, one hundred and
thirty-two Irish and three French cooks OF this
whole number but three vf the head walters were
imported by the house. II is estimated that five
hundred guests can be comfortably entertained-so
that, when the capacity Of this house is tested, in
GLIDING guests, the families of the propretors, at
achees and servants, it will contain population APP
preaching thousand, number sufficiently great
to form thriving interior country town.

Remedy for the Cholera.


The following remedy has been furnished to the
editor of the New York Evening Post, by respecta-
bic shp-master for publication.
New YORK, July 20, 1850.

that did loose another patient during the passage,
nor since.

ter which sticks like glue. 1t given, among others,
to an old woman of eiehty-our years Of age who was
on deck Though weak of course) the very next day
have known it tobc successfully used ON board their
ships by at least dozen shipmasters besides myself.
It's use is quite general in LIVERPOOL where
of the regular doctors find their advantage resort
to it.
Provided with this simple recipe no longer consider
the cholera an unmanagef-ale disease

TTNHE light of science is penetrating the mist
Il which has 30 long shrouded the cause of Asiatic
Cholera. Eminent physicians and naturalists in
Europe, and in this country, have ascertaned be-
yond doubt the presence Of vast numbers OF animal
culg in the atmosphere of places infected by this
well as other diseases. The "myriad races" of
these insects, in their various kinds, therefore
believed to be the medium by which epidemical
and contagious diseases spread. A similar
opinion advanced by the French Medical
school, and different persons, in 1882; although the
admirable scientific plans for investigation, above
noticed, were not then attained, published
early enough in the past season to be OF general
advantage II is well known that an eminent
physician OF France ascertained, by an experiment
on his own person, that the disease commonly
called "Itch" is caused by animalculG, which the
fume OF sulphur (among its other admirable quail
ities) promptly destroys strong coincidence with
