CHOLERA CRIMINAL REcKrE ssNEss.

CHOLERA GRIMM REcKEE ssNEss. The cholera ragged awfully at Colum bia. Pa. last week. In three days there were sixty-seven deaths. The physicians suspected the disease was owing to the drinking of the impure water of the reservoir. as those drinking pare spring water were exempt from it. Tire water was accordingly drawn of, when the cause of the fatality was discovered in the putlid bodies of sheep wlioh had been thrown into the reservoir from the railroad, by persons who took this means of getting rid of animals that died on the route.

Fire.

An alarm of fire was given in our village on Thursday evening. and a bright light in the vicinity of the Clock Company's buildings caused the report that their Factory was on fire. It proved, however, to be barn belonging to the Company and situated just south of the main factory-whica contained about ten tons of hay and some macEin. cry the latter WAS saved. The build- ing and hay were worth $Soo-no insurance.
 Some scamp, doubtless, who enter> tains a agrudge against the Company took this manner of revenging himself.

ON IIoRSEs AND COLTS.

The Committee on Hcrses snd Colt would reporI:-
 That tue several classes named in you bill, were fairly represented; bus thaG th, circumscTi0ed IimIs of the show gr0ssn. .endered iI impossible fer Ihc Cummille, IO enter into the full meriIs of the compe Iiii0n. Horses, unlike cattle. develop, their qualities only by action. A hors. ever s0 sleek and faI, wiIh1ul limbs, wouI, be just nc horse at alL A full display 0 the qualities and powers of this noble ani mal, was not to be obtained under suci circumstances.
 In the rearing Of the horse, we are in, Huenced by economy, taste and profit and although men differ in opinion as ls what constitutes real values yet all agree that he must possess the power of loco. mUti"n. Aud yes in these days of rail, roads and telegraphs, am not sure buu breeders are g;ving lAeir attention exclu- sively to speed.
 The qualities prnpagated through She horse Eclipse, might do for the course in Virginia, but would never de for the far. mer in New England.-We want spirit, dociliIy, and endurance.
 We want a power which shall not only contribute to our pleasure, but to our prOfil-0ne which Gees not take too mucl, sleam to put in motion.
 Combining these qualities, your Com mittee would recommend tO your notice three stud horses exhibited by Robbins Bal,el, of Norfolk. Mir. Baiiel entered his h0Nes for exhibition onlys and as they were ltse only ones on the list. no lpremi~ um was awarded on stud horses.
 Of breeding mares there four entries.- We have awarded 10 Frederick Frisbie the first premium Of SS DO.
 Abraham Beecher the 2d, $2 co.
 On geidiHgs or mares years old and mium to Anthony C. Strong, for beauti fIl bay mare. $S.

 9d do. JustusParker, $2.
 Stud Coli, 9 years old, list premium te Isaac Morse, S9.
 Colt year old, list premium to Solo, mon Webster, $l.
 Sucking colt, apremium to Frederick Whiting of $l.
 We also recommend premium 10 D NJ. Cowles, Sl.
 There is offered by an individual mem beroi The SUcie,y a premium of five del lars. for tire hest horse 20 years old ant upwards. Ol this class there were twt entries, one by .Na,hanie! B. Smith, Q Woodbury, of g mare "A years old-'h' other by Nelson T. Jennings, of Litch field, of horse rsS years old. IL is supposed by your Committee, ina that this premium was offered as a com mandatory ncucement to any who should by kindly care, have preserved ;he life U the horse beyond the usual term of his;ac tlvity.
 The premium is equally divided between the two competitors, giving $2. 50 to each -J.C. AMBLER, Chairman.
