Scenes Of Horror. incidents Of the Cholera Of

Tho New Haven Journal publishes
the following extract from letter writ.
ten by gentleman in Barbados, to
his friend in that city. respecting tho
ravages Of cholera on that island: -.
"God forbid that you should ever
witness what we have experienced since
your departure. The deaths were 50
numerous ,et one time, that, vehicles. rf
all kinds we're used to convey corpses.
The horse carts, as they are called, that
stand for hire in the square, were very
generally used. Six, eight have
seen nine-cnffins in one cart, and they
were so badly constructed, that in pass.
ing over the cutters or water courses,
they would literally fall TO pieces, and
the driver, who was provided for the &C.
casion, would stop and nail up the cot.
fins in the street, to prevent the bodies
falling out. Many, very MANY, were
carried t.. the grave in hand.car's; ma.
ny on the peoples heads; and am told
that the demand was so very great for
cofins, that many persons, particularly
children, were carried by their parepto
merely wrapped in ,arred sheets.
You have heard of the Dead Cart
| I have seen 1.-THE first time was ono
evening in the hay. A gentleman and
myself was walking up to tho garrison,
Just rs we came up to it, il had stopped
opposite ono Of those alleys leading TO
the beach, the driver. hideous lo"king
negro, locked down the alley and shout.
ed nut" Got any down therel" The
negroes were afraid to touch a dead
body, even of their own relations. and
too frequently the drivers had to attach
a rope to the coffin, aud drag it into tho
cart the best way they could. From an
early age, was taught self.reliapce,
and have always endeavored to look
things straight in the face. but must
confess, tina, never before experienced
, SO much ditficul,yin doing it Up TO
this time, believe, we have lost frnnn
) cholera some $4,000, or one eighth Of
, the entire population; and even now, !!
5 believe the deaths throughout the Island
average fully 100 per day. ! never
heard Of cholera proving fatal so quick.
