THE CHOLERA AT NIAGARA-TERRIBLE De-
TAILS. = Buffalo, July 2S.-We learn from
the most reliable source that the ravages of the
cholera at the Suspension Bridge, on the Can
ada side, have been far worse than heretofore
represented. Our informant visited the scene
yesterday, and found that almost every soul
capable of moving had deserted the vicinity,
leaving the dead without burial. He discov-
cred in one shanty woman so far gone as to
be unable to move and her child, about seven
en- years old, lying dead beside her, in an ad-
yanced stale OF decomposition. In another
house he found two men, one dead, and the
other dying without succor the latter died
shortly after. All Of these three bodies he en-
tered. In yet another shanty he found three
unburied bodies, and SO much decayed that
he could not venture to disturb them. He set
fire to the shanty and consumed the bodies
We learn as reliable fact that several bodies,
partially consumed, were to-day being rooted
up and devoured by parcel of hogs which
found their way to the spot.

A FAIR FUGITIVE SLAvE.-The editor of the
Terniont Tribune gives thrilling account of
a fugitive slave who has just been passed
through Vermont to Canada. He says
She is 20 years Of age, tall, welcomed,
and of lar more than ordinary intelligence,
able to read fuently, a member of the Meth
odist church, and daughter of her master!
yes, she was running away from her own IA
ther, Rufiin Gilchrist, of Easton, Nd, because
he had sold her to a South Carolinan for $ll00.
This Rufin had sold his own flesh and blood
for so much hard cash, and but for his daugh-
ter's shrewdness and heroism would have now
been lingering the price of blood. Charlotte,
the fugitive, ran away, lay secreted in the
woods eighteen days. found a friend in Balti-
more, who sent her to a Quaker i'll Phladel-
phia by railroad, by mode we dare not tell
lest it should involve him in trouble. Her
long exposure and dreadful journey to Phila-
delphia brought on a fever, from the effects of
which she had not recovered when here at
st. Adams. From Philadelphia to Boston by
sea, thence to Maine, and then to avoid some
bloodhound Southerners who were on her
track, she turnel her steps this way, avoiding
her pursuers with consummate address, and
finding excellent friends all the way, and
good accommodations ON the U. II. II. With
the money given her here, she went on her
hurried way to the only land where she could
breathe free. God protect and guide her.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LowELL.-A very
destructive fire i'll Lowell, Friday afternoon,
burned some twenty buildings, injured sever
al persons badly, turned large number of
families ont of their houses, and destroyed
some 100000 worth of property.
The fire broke out in the stable of Mr..
James Lannan, Drummer street, which was
filed with hay. This building was quickly
consumed, and the flames spread to the Rail
road House, which was soon enYeoped in
flames. From this it spread to large wood
en- building adjoining easterly, and from the
Railroad House and this large building, the
flames extended across to the large wooden
houses opposite, which were consumed west
erly to opposite Jefferson street. The flames
also crossed Drummer street. and extended
westerly on the south side ot~Lowell street to
Jefferson street, and burned the stores of Capt.
]. S. Proctor, and Patrick McGurke, where
their progress was ARRESTED. Among the
principal losers were Smith, Josiah Bennett,
John Maynard, James Lannan, Mrs. Brophy,
Patrick MeGurke, ]. S. Proctor, A. J. Bradt,
a Mr.. Dexter of Boston, Nathaniel Wright,
Mr.. Anthony, Mr.. Sherman, Mr.. billiard of
Boston, Barney Smith, Mrs. Blood, and the
Messrs. Buttricks.
A little girl, five or six years Of age, was
burned in one of the buildings, and it is cur
rently reported that young lady and a little
boy were burned in the Railroad House. Mr..
James Lovett, who resides on Union street, a
member of the Hook and Ladder Co., was
severely, If not fatally injured, by being struck
by the hook Of a ladder in the neck, which
tore open the VEINS and arteries. 1t was said
however, that he would recover if he had the
courage to let the physicians properly dress
the wound.
Many factory girls, have lost all their
clothes money, &c., in the buildings thatwere
burned.

KANSAS. We learn that the pioneer party
Of the Emigrant Aid Society, whose departure
from this city we recorded several days since,
have received accessions at various points on
their route, reached st. Louis safely, and pro-
ceeded up the Missouri River in steamboat,
in good health and spirits. and with the most
encouraging anticipations. Before embarking
a meeting of the whole party was convened in
st. Louis. The meeting was duly organized,
and the following resolutions, draughted by a
committee appointed for the purpose, were
unanimously adopted:
Resoived, That We the entire number of the Kansas
pioneer party from the New England and Middle States
entire confidence in the llmigrant Aid Society and
would recommend all persons intending emigrate to
Kansas, to do under their auspices.
Resotued, That we heartily thank the Emgrant Aid
Company Tor their forming and thus far carrying the
objects for which they have been incorporated
ResotUed, That the officers and employees connected
with the several railroad companies which have
travelled have shown us great favor and are entitled and
hereby receive our thanks
These resolutions show how efficient are the
measures adopted by the Emigrant Aid Socie-
ty, for the comfort and convenience of those
who go out under their guidance. We I'M
derstand that more and larger parties will
press forward, as soon as the health of the
cities at the West shall be SO far established as
to make it prudent for persons from this part
of the country to travel in that direction.
The great movement has thus been inaugur-
ated under happy auspices and we eagerly
anticipate the time, soon to arrive, when this
first pioneer party shall have been followed by
numerous reinforcements, and the plains of
Kansas are covered with the habitations of free
and industrious citizens. Boston Aacerttser

a man died i'll West Troy, last thursday even

fully prepared for burial. The remains We're
kept until Saturday evening" and then, while
the friends of the diseased were engaged in
holding a wake over him, the supposed dead
man slowly recovered from the state in " hich
he had SO long lain, and actually arose from
the coffin, walked a cross tie floor, and re-
quested drink of water, saying that hes was

doubt her statement. We further understand
that the man is convalescent. and will recover.

CHOLERA IN THE STATE PRIsoN.-A sudden
and violent sickness broke out in the State
Prison last Thursday night.
AT about eleven O'Clock the Deputy War
den, Mr.. Walker, was called to the cell of
Peter FORK, the colored man in prison for life
for murder committed in Ann street, and
found him apparently in the last stages of
cholera, with scarcely any pulse, and his ex-
tremities quite cold. He administered rene
dies internally and externally, and sent for the
physician of the prison, Dr. VIM. B. Morris,
who was promptly on the spot. York had
scarcely heen taken to the Hospital, before an
other and another were attacked i'll similar
manner, until at noon to-day, no less than
seventy of the prisoners were under the doc
tors care, twenty of whom were admitted to
the Hospital and fifty treated in their cells.
Nine of those in the Hospital have the chole-
IA, the Others the cholera morbus. Those in
the cells violent diarrhea. All were doing
well at noon, though some We're attacked with
great violence, and at times were in some dam
ger. DR.. Morris spent the whole night at the
Hospital, and was unwealied in his exertions.
The cause OF this sudden attack is unknown.
Heretofore the prison has been quite healthy.
-I3a5eHer.
Friday evening sixty of the prisoners were
il the Hospital, while on Thursday morning
it contained but five inmates. All who were
placed there Friday We're sick with cholera,
cholera morbus and dysentery. Peter York
was convalescent; indeed none of them were
considered in immediate danger, and no deaths
had occurred Every available situation in
the Hospital which had been newly fitted up,
was filed.
The Boston Journal of Saturday evening,
says that no additional cases have appeared,
and that all who were i'll yesterday are in a
much improved condition, many Of the pa
tients being 50 much better this morning that
they preferred going to their workshops rather
than to remain in the Hospital. Out of sixty
patients who were in the Hospital last eve
ming, only about twenty remained this fore
noon. The too free use of cold water, it is
thought, induced some of the first cases of
cholera morbus, and fear and the force of i'm
agination was probably the melting cause in
the other cases,
