CINCINNATI, July 5.

The Board of health have reported 43
cholera and 232 deaths of other diseases,
since the 2lst of June. They say there
is no cause yet to believe the cholera pre-
walls as an epidemic, as every case is
brought on by imprudence.

UF We have often noticed with ex-
treme pleasure the kindness and atten-
ton of woman in the hour Of affliction.
Ever foremost in the cause Of mercy, she
hovers around us the angel of love and
affection. Her care is untiring--her
vigils unceasing. We have seen her at
morn, at eve, and at midnight still faith
full to her trust. Mans care may turn
to Indifference; but woman, ever faith
full, ever true, never deserts her suffering
charge-and rather than prove false, she
will struggle and die at the alta. Of
mercy.

few days since, by couple of persons
from Kentucky. The supposed fugitive.
however. was no other than the step son
of Burguss who lives in this place, but

that he was free born.-Literary Jour

ST. LOUIS. July 7.-At half-past 10,
p. NJ, yesterday the cooper shop attach
ed to the sugar refinery of Belcher and
Bro, near the levee, was destroyed by
fire. together with its contents.
The steamer Missouri which was lying
with her head against the house, was
soon in flames, which destroyed her bow
and the greater part Of her upper works.
The levee was lined with steamers
from this point 10 the lower extremity
of the city. The S.. Paul. Gem, Brilli-
ant, Pawnee, and others, which lay near
by, dropped down and thus avoided the
fire. The Missouri broke her moorings
and floating down lodged at the head of
Duncan's Island. The wind was blowing
from the northeast, which kept the bur.
ming boat from Off the other boats as she
floated past. The machinery and boilers
had been taken ont TO be replaced by 9TH

Just bathed in refreshing showers, she
blooms like a garden of roses an the des-
ert. Silyery voices ring upon the ear,
and bright eyes peep through the damask
curtains of neat, white Boomer palaces.
Yellow River glides on in its course,
laughing merrily among the greenwood
shades and inviting us to drink of its linn
pid waters. The ladies (heaven bless
them,) never looked more lovely. We
were not aware that Plymouth could
gather SO bright an array of celestial spir-
its. Many sigh comes mourning over
the greensward from the rosy bowers of
Love, and tears are falling for many a
lost Adonis.
We observe sundry little excursions
by the ladies on horseback. We are glad
to see this. Nothing will contribute
more to the advancement of good health
and high spirits, than brisk trot of five
or six miles every morning and evening.
Our female friends should pay more at
tention to exercise, or death will visit
them at an ea.lier day than they antici
pate.
Such are the scenes in the little fairy
village Of Plymouth. Shall she not one
day rise and wipe away her tears to well
come the star of Virtue and Wisdom?
How long must she weep over her fallen
sons and daughters? How long must the
ministerial voice be heard in vain? How
long will the Sabbath bell, in vain, sum-
mon them to sacred worship? Ministers
extend the hand of mercy. Fathers and
mothers advise. But alas! they rush on.

CT A melancholy accident occurred

@ A melancholy accident occurred
in our town on Sunday morning last.
Mr.. John Moore, who drives the stage be-
tween this place and South Bend was kick
ed by horse, breaking his jaw and nearly
depriving him of his life. The agony of the
wife under this heart-rending affection
can be better imagined than described.
But her sorrow has now melted into Joy
as the Angel of Hope has visited her to
brighten her dark hour of grief. and prom
Use the companion Of her heart many more
golden days of love and happiness. We
hope when they shall walk again in sweet
union, their pathway may be over sunny
plains and fowery meads to seek the sa-
cred temples Of worship and offer at the
altar of divine mercy their grateful pray
ers to kind Providence for sparing their
lives, and fervently beseech Him to pre-
pare them for that eternal rest which he has
promised to all those that love Him and
keep his commandments.
We perceive by this SAD event that
many of our young men who of late were
swearing vehemently and rioting in dis
sipation have left those scenes to gather
around the altar of affection. They see
through the veil of SORROW the shades OF
death. Their rough voices are turned into
tones Of compassion. Their moral feel
ings rise up to warn them of danger. May
they remember that they, too, sooner OF
later may be called to the bed of pain
and perhaps death; and if they have no
religion to support them in the last try
ing hour. they win die miserable without
hope, and be los: forever.

In Colton's "Three Years in California" we
find the following amusing anecdote 81 never
knew mosquitoes turned to- any good account,
save in California, and here it seems they are
sometimes ministers of justice. A rogue had
stolen bag of gold from digger in the mines,
and hid it. Neither threats nor persuasion
could induce him to tell the place of its conceal
ment. He was at last sentenced to hundred
lashes, and then Informed he would be let off
with thirty, provided he would tell what he had
done with the gold, but he refused.-The thirty
were inflicted, but he was still stubborn as a
mule. He was then stripped naked and tied to
tree. The mosquitoes with their long bills
went at him, and in less than three hours he
was covered with blood. Writhing and trem-
bling from head to foot with exquisite torture
he exclaimed, Unite me-untie me! will teli
where it is Tell first was the reply. Sc
he told where it might be found"

Called Session Of the Illinois legislature.


The last Quincy Wing says-"The Legisla-
ture Of this State, il is stated upon good author
ity, is TO be called together this winter by the
Governor The State is to be districted for
Congress, in accordance with the returns Of the
bate United States census. We hope there will
be change made in this district at least, for
more misshapen, inconvenient one cannot be
well coDtrived. Any change would be for the
better--it certainly could not be made much
worse"
We cannot learn that the Governor Of Mis-
souri, has determined upon the course which it
becomes him to pursue, in precisely the same
circumstances. In Missouri, as in Illinois, the
State is to be apportioned for the election of
members TO Congress, both States being entitled
to an increased number, under the new census.
In our sister State, the election takes place the
same time as in Missouri-that is, in August
1852 nearly eighteen months before they take
their seats, and some months before Legisla-
ture can meet to arrange the Districts, unless
there is a called session. In Illinois, as in Mis-
souri,, there have been great changes in the pop
ulation Of the several Congressional Districts,
and Justice to the people requires that fair APP
portionment should be made before another cleo
ten ks SlaSe. ..GESx- EsygxcH, it would seem,
has somewhat iuster potions Of what is due TO
the people, than to withhold an opportunity of
reforming the Congressional Districts, and will
call the Legislature together for this purpose
We shall see what Gov. KIkG will do. Those
who are familiar with his plans have given out
that there will be no extra session and they as
sign for reason, that the Governor will issue
his proclamation for the election of fpe of the
Representatives in the present Districts, and
then he will appoint the Ohole STATE for the cleo
ton of the other too Congressman. He is gov
erned in this course, it is said, by desire to
get to Congress himself thing not easy for
him to do in any district hereafter to be created.
The plan is, for Col. BENroN and himself TO
take the field upon the general ticket, and in
this way, both, it is assumed may possibly get
in. We do not believe that the people will con-
firm this arrangement, should it be made, by
giving either Of Them majority of votes, but it
is very probable that his ooverweening ambition
may counsel such course. The people should
at least watch his movements.-5-S, Louis Rep.
