The CHoLERA.-It will be recollectcd that the
cholera suddenly broke out in this city about two
which occurred inside of two days no less than
seyel proved fatal 1t is no less remarkable that
nearly all the meat purchased on that morning
in market tainted and refused to keep twenty four
hours, despite all the salt that coIld be heaped
unon it. This was generally SO over the entire
city. and goes to chow that the direful disease
most certainly lurked in the atmosphere. During
the rage of this fearful epidemic in 1882 the same
obser vation made in Montreal, and, to test the
matter, piece of fresh beef was drawn up to the
spire of the Cathedral, where, finding purer cur
rent of air than below, kept two thirds longer.
This reflection, perhaps, may excite further inves-
gation oa the part Of the medical faculty. which,
if it does, may be tUrned to come useful purpose.
IWheeling Times.
This statement goes far to confirm the theory OF
Mons. Chabert at New York, who maintains that
the cholera is caused by swnrms Of green flies
which are SO snail ~ TO be only visible through a
microscope.

By the arrival at Psnam ma on the Sd ultimo, OF the
British mail steamer Quito, we have dates from
Valparaiso TO September Ia.
The papers contain little nothing OF interest.
The works on the Santiago and Valparaiso Rail-
road were to commence on the lat October A
newspaper called the Telegraph has made its ap
pearance in Santiago. The American ship Fam
was sold in Valparaiso for So 200 at auction. The
Copiapo mines were increasing in richness. No
American vessels bad arrived at or sailed from
Valparaiso since last report.
From Lima we CLEAN nothing OF note, The dates
are TO the Odd September.
The Ipbos Islands had remained quiet. No
American vessels had reached there since the Man

the Islands.
The United States frigate Raritan had not gone
over there, and the INSTRUCTIONS sent out by the
Department at Washington mad been sent to the
Islands to wait the arrival of the Raritap.

FEARFUL RAILROAD ACcIDENT.-As the express
train from New York to Boston was passing over
the canal bridge at Windsor Locks, (near Spring.
field, Mass, ) of the rails broke and pfecipi
tated the last car, containing about eighteen pas
scngers, into the canal. The three hindmost cars
ran of the track when the rail gave way, break
ing up their trucks and tearing up the track in
great style. The last car ran into the can, in about
twelve feet of water, and was broken all to pieces.
Two persons only, Messrs. Parker, are known to
have been drowned. They were brothers, who
had unex pectedly returned from California, and
were going to surprise their wives. Their bodies
have been recovered. number of the passengers
more or less injured, but none, it is believed,
fatally. One lady had an arm broke. The Rev.
Mr.. Clarke, of Worcester, was severely hurt, and
is now at the Massasoit House here. There
was a rumor of a lady being lost, but 1t proved
to be incorrect. The track was 80 broken up that
the could not pass either way, and passengers
were transferred from one set of cars to another.
At last accounts they were drawing the water from
the canal to if any more persons were lost.
One hundred laborers were on the ground repair
ing the damage.

all that was engaging and captivating in private
