HOW TO SAVE TROCBLE,-Lust week a horse
was stolen in Athens county, Ol!o-two parties par
~ticipnting in the theft. The owner, suspecting that
the thieves designed making their way To virginia,
cnme hither hastily, conferred with the terryinun' at
Purkrrsburg, and laid traps to catch the roSues'-
Sure, enough, not long after concerning the PLAN the
ferry boa; left the Ohio shore, whcreupon, the irrryman
commenced an unusual ringing Of the bells-the pre-
concerted signal that the gumc was aboard. as Inc
boa, ncarcd the Virginia bench, the owner nnpcnreu,
and, when the craft came sill nearer, he stepped ON
board, the pilot made 10 landing, but rounded out and
returned TO opposite side Of the river. where inc
thieves were taken into custody by OHIO law-thus
saving the trouble and expense of Il rclnlsition upon
the executive Of our State. SD states the P"rkersDurg
Gazette.
TIE SOUTI-SIDE RAIL ROAD.-Thc Lynch
burg Virginian states that the Soutli-Sido Rail Road
will open Il new section Of their road Monday or

The cars will commence running over the additional
section about the middle OF the wcck-n day or two
being appropriated 10 revise aud strengthen the new
track.
STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT.-We leurn from the
Alexandria Gazette, that the Mail Steamboat Balti-
more. on her trip up the Potomac, from Aqua Creek,
oil Tuesday night lnst, accidentally ran into II lumber
loaded schooner, bound up, oil Mattawomuu Hats,
and injured her wood work very considerably :, though,
il il thought, her machinery is not materially dam
aged. The conclusion was very violent, anl the pas.
sengcrs were much alaruicd, but no one was injured
either Oh board the steamboat or the schooner. The
was unable to make her trip, and the
Mount Vernon towed her TO Alexandria for repairs.

TIE CIIOLERA.-Tlis dreadful disease is again
its appearance in various parts Of the United
States. 1t llus not yet reached Richmond, but we
not how soon i; may be amongst usi and i'll
view of this liability il not probability, we will copy
recommendations on the subject, from the last
Express. AN ounce of preventive &c:
"Tl,c nbviou. mode of preventing the inroads OF the
disease, i. pucrtn,,on. Let every one scc that his
apartments are we'll ventilated that no drcnyinS
substance rcIlniils in or near them: and tint the air
he brcgthcs hHbitunllv Is tainted with no eiiluvin. 1t
is these pnsscs, invisible mud imprrccptiblr, which
iuul which is taken into the stomach isis VIC have
said, q still more important considerations. We believe
that nearly all the cnrl vegetables are considered I'm;
wholesome, from the difficulty which is experienced
in digcsting them. The temptation 10 partake OF
these drlicncics is very great 1t this senson OF the
wear when the appetite Hays md the cdiJlcs which
have so long made their regular appearance un the
table, begin To grow distastc!ul. But no man, woman
or child, who values health and life, will usr them
With pure mir and pure food, Tie cholera
is nearly disarmed of fall its tcrrOrs." BY IN observance
of these things, we think our citizens ncel not ap-
any serious result frum cho!cra in Richmond.
