died from the effects. He was % wears

THE CHoLERA.-This hot weather is
liable to cause the cholera, and all per-
sons should exercise caution in the use
of food, cleanliness should be attended
to and all filth removed out of smelling
distance. From the following paragraph
taken from the Boonsboro' Odd Fellow,
it will be seen that 1t is already serious
ly fatal in one part OF the State:
IHE CHOLERA AT WILLIAMSBURG

numerous new cases and many deaths.
On the 25th there were 5 deaths, on the
goth 8 and yesterday 3, up 10 which
time there has been upW ards of 100 cases
and 50 deaths. Many OF the citizens
are leaving. We hope that the disease
has done its worst and will Subsde.
p. S.-We go to press on " cdnesday.
\ letter has been received here stating
that there were 40 new cases Yesterday
the GSth, but does not mention the num-
of deaths. Among the victims is the

FIRST PArEa MADE IN MARyLAND.--
A correspondent ofthe Baltimore coun-
ty Wing, writing from Finksburg, Gar
roll county, says:
1.-The sixth district of Baltimore
county may, with propriety, be demon
mated the paper-making district. There
ere ten paper mills now IN successful
operation in it, the eleventh now build
ing, and the twelfth contemplated, The
first paper manufactured in Maryland
was made in this district. I his was
about eighty years ago. The Governor
of the State had issued his proclamation,
offering a reward Of one thousand acres
of land for the first ream of paper that
should be made in the State.
Mr.. William Hoffman, a native Of
Germany, was then in the act Of build
ing paper mil on the banks of the
Big Gunpowdel. near the Pennsylvania
line; and a Mr.. Stoutier was construct
ing a similar establishment in Frederick
county, and was SO far in advance Of
Hoffman, having his engine for grind
ing the rags nearly done, that he gave
himself no uneasiness, being confident
Of receiving the reward offered. Hof-
mad in the meantime suspended his
building operations, and put up a tenn
porary concern for pounding the rags
into pulp instead of grinding; with this
make-shift, he finished his ream of pa
per, put it into his saddle bags, and
forthwith repaired to the seat of gov
eminent, and bore off the premium, thus
gaining for Baltimore county the honor
OF making the first paper in the State.

may still be seen at the mill
SWALLOWED A PIN.-The Whining
ton Republican states that a Miss Craig,
Of Delaware City, swallowed pin some
two or three months ago, which lodged
in her throat, so as to destroy the power
of speech. Physicians could afford her
no relief, and it was feared it would
result fatally TO her. A few days ago,
however, she visited DR.. Worrall's drug
store, and being fa:igupd, the clerk ten
dered her glass Of water; while in the
act OF drinking she strangIed and threw
up the pin. 1t was straight when she
placed it in her mouth, but it came out
bent into half circle at the point, and
much corroded.
