from here, writes that the country people ex
claimed on seeing him why, is he an Amer-

hear in American, except on the rarest occa-

~ The Charleston Standard traces theprev-
alence of the cholera in that city to indulgence
in oysters, and says that many of the largest
and finest of these bivalves which are brought
to market, are gathered from brackish, not salt
water. This year the body of fresh water has
extended almost TO the harbor and even there
the fresh water predominates much more than
it usually does. As consequence Of this, oys-
tiers, which require salt water, are diseased and
dying; many of them are dead; and yet from,
the midst of these dead piles are gathered por-
ton of that which is sold in the market food
for man. 1t viii be recollected that to a simi-
lar cause was attributed the mortality from
cholera at Apalachicola.
nG. Mr. Bryant, the editor of the New York
Evening Post, is in Paris, and writes home that
that city is full of foreigners, among them
large number of the wealthy classes of England,
and thousand Americans Mr.. Bryant notices
a great improvement in the business Of Paris,
since he was there three years before The new
bank establishment of Louis Napoleon had giyeu
a new impetus to trade and speculation. The
revolution had almost destroyed several branch
es of trade, which are now restored. Mr.. Bryant
thinks large majority ofth French people are
in favor of the empire, because Louis Napoleon
viii maintain ORDER but yet finds many who are
opposed to it. Mr.. b. relates conversations with
several intelligent citizens, who told him they
voted for the empire in hopes Louis Napoleon
would enable them to 1--we in peace. On the day
the empire was declared, there not the
slightest exhibition of enthusiasm among citizens
of Paris when Louis Napoleon made his appear
ance in the streets.

Ey~ Our eastern exchanges note the death Of
Frank Ward, wheelright of Boston, by falling
from gravel train
No less than fifteen cars, weighing in all about
100 tons, passed over his body. The legs ofthe
unfortunate man were copletely severed in three
places, the trunk WIS cut into three distinct
pieces, his arms were also separated into four
pieces, while his head was cut completely on
and all that could be found of it was mass OF
brains, flesh and crushed bone, not more than
two inches thick. The fragments we're scattered
along the road for more than fifty rods. The
deceased was a stranger to those connected with
the train, but the pieces of his body being gath
cred up and taken TO the Boston depot, his wife
repaired thither, and as a part of the trunk,
with his coat hanging to it was lifted from the box
she uttered shrek Of agony, screaming, "lts
Frank, it's Frank - 1t was thus that his name
was ascertained.
gsap FEMALE PHYsIcLANs.-The Boston Jour
nal talks thus of female Physicians That the
medical profession is hereafter to consist ofWo-
men as we'll as men, is no longer a matter OF
doubt, judging from the strong setting of public
sentiment in this direction. The preferences
