The Cholera.

There is a general apprehension that
the cholera will again sweep over our
country. Ii has already made its appear
ance in many cities and towns in the west,
especially those on the rivers, and 1t has
also commenced its ravages i'll some OF
the large northern cities. 1t cannot be
doubled tina; many of the cases Of sickness
| that occur at this season of the year are
mistaken for the Asiatic cholera. They
are produced frequently by the young
vegetables that are so eagerly sought after
and so imprudenlIy eaten. But every
precauton against that terrible scourge,
the Asatic cholera, should be taken by
private persons and by municipal authori-
ties. Cellars should be cleansed, rubbish
removed, and bad meats and vegetables
avoided. Great attention should be laid
to the streets and cutters in cities and
towns. Filth should not be permitted 10
, accumulate in alleys and in private ways.
A reasonable attention TO cleanliness will
do much to keep off the pestIence. We
would particularly direct our town auihori-
ties to several fifty places on Main street,
and trust that it will meet with their ear
hest attention, as the adage says, and by
the way is certainly very true one, san
ounce Of preventative is worth pound of
cure"

A Just Verdict,

The man Weigart, who al the insilga-
ton of his wife, deliberately shot young
man named Gushing dead, in Coniec-
,ionary Store in Lexington, Ky, last
winter, because Gushing on coming into
The store in the dusk of the evening,
observing Mrs. w. standing at the count
er and supposing she was young lady
with whom he was intimately acquainted,
laid his hand on her shoulder and as he
passed her, said, 'how are you my pretty?
Whereupon she instantly declared that he
had grossly insulted her, and that her
husband would revenge her, &c. Cush-
ing apologized TO her, but 10 no account );
she went for Weigart who soon returned
armed with a revolver. The deceased
most prteously aPologized, but nothing
but his death would answer. Weigart de-
Iib&rately shot poor Gushing dead. We
learn from the Louisville Times of the
l6lh, that Weigart was tried at Lexing-
ton on the charge of murder on the 10Th
inst, and after an absence of twenty min
utes, the Jury returned a verdict Of mur-
der IN the first degree.

The Fourth Of July

A little over one week lram this time
the seventy light Anniversary of the A
mercan independence appears on the cal
endar Will it be found in the hearts and
appear in the acts of American citizens OF
this day, as the patriots Of that antlcipa-
ted? Should it continue TO be celebrated
as the great anniversary jubilee of liberty,
that youth would catch inspiration from
the tales of the aged, and perpetuate,
while freedom found a home in the new
world, the history Of their glorious achieve
ments We ih;nk, that in order TO keep
alive in the hearts of American citizens,
The memory Of those men Of the Reyolu,
ton who herOica,ly snached us from the
grasp Of tyranny, it should he celebrated
over the entire Continent either with the
ringing Of bells, firing Of guns, bonfres,
Examinations and public rejoicings or with
social parties, pc-ncs, ETC., as suits the
different tastes Of The people. We would
suggest the propriery of an oId-fashioned,
sincere and hearty celebration of this
great day, by American citizens. Let all
American citizens congregate together in
the enjoyment Of the blessings of the lib
erly our lorefalhers fought and bled for
then let such citizens Of our town call
meeting to alight on method best adap-
ted TO their taste, in which to celebrate
the coming INDEPENDENCE Day.

The following paragraph we clip from
the Libertytown Banner, published in
Frederick County, Nd. 1t meets out pre-
cisely The ideas which we have held for
some time, in regard to emigrating TO the
west. But here is the paragraph
"a few days since, we heard a gentle
man, who has j0St returned from the
West, speaking oF the crops in Ohio and
the poor inducement TO persons to settle

natli and Dayton. In the neighborhood
Of the former place, (if we mistake not
he says the crops are almost entirely des-
troyed, AMI many fields of wheat had
been plowed and planted with corn. He
also says there is poor inducement TO per-
sons from this part of the country TO emil
CRATE TO Ohio and other p$Tons of the
West; that you cannot purchase good land
there any cheaper than here, and that
speculation runs very high-higher than
they can sustain"

A Great Mans Mother.

When General Washington arrived at
Fredericksburg, Va, where his mother
resided, on returning from Yorktown in
October, 1881, the people came in crowds
to greet him, but his mother, though proud
of her son, wa. unmoved by the honOrs
paid TO him. When the lriumphal pro-
cession entered the town, she was pre-
pairing yarn for the weaver of cloth Tor her
servants, and was thus occupied when
her son entered the house. IL am glad
TO see you, George, you have altered con
Siderable" were her first words, and du-
ring the whole interview not word was
said by either Of his glorious achievements.
The next day she was visited by Laiay
cite, who spoke to her in glowing language
of the greatness of her son. Her simple
and memorable reply was, IL am not sur
prised, for George a0Gs al1Oays a good
boy"
The above is doubtless true,a we have
heard the same story from some OF our
old citizens, who received il probably
from the mouth of Lafayette himself

Mnrder and LYnch Law In Mississippi.

vi urdef anu Lynch Law IN 1isSiSS'PPa'
A few DAYS ago, Mrs. Redman, resi-
ding in Marshall coAniy, Miss, and VII"
was lately married, went into field on
some business, where negro man was
eagaged in plonghing. The william find
ING she was alone, seized her, violated
her persoa, and ,hei, hy lhreats, induced
her 10 promise TO say nothing about 1t,
Soon afles. howevey, she did give the
alarm, when the fend ie4l his plough and
deliberately walked to where she was and
rayished her the second time. After ae-
complishing his hellish purpose, he choked
his victim 10 death, thereby committing 4
double erine, and then resumed his
ploughing, as if nothing had happened.
In few hours the lilelesS corpse was
found, but no trace of the mnrder could be
discovered. until pair of hounds were
brought and placed upon the scent Of the
track. They Immediately traced the
track of the negro. who was still plough
ing, but he denied all knowledge of the
affair. At length he confessed The com
initial Of the deed, giving full statement
of everything. The excitement became
intense, and the people gathered from
every quarter, and the black wretch was
taken by the infatuated crowd and FIRST
casrated and then hung by his neck until
nearly dead He was then taken down
and hung by his heels until life was near
ly extinct, when he was shot by some
zen or q dozen men in the crowd.

When TO Cut Wheat.

Cutting wheat at the proper time is q
matler Of more importance than farmers
generally are aware Of. when wheat is
cut from ten TO fourteen days before it is
fully ripe, the grain not only weighs heavi-
er but measures more, being of decidedly
better quality, and producing larger pro-
portion of fine -four to the bushel. As
the grain ripens, the thickness of the skin
rapidly increases, woody fibre being
formed at the expense Of the starch and
sugar. BY this process, the quantity of
the -four is lessened and Inequality dete-
riorated. 1! is therefore all Important that
the wheat should be cut while sugar, glut-
en-, Starch, water, &C., still constitute a
large proportion of the grain. The same
reasoning applies TO rye, barley, oats, &c.
This is not theory merely, but the result
Of accurate and carefully conducted eXpe-
riments, made both in this country and
EurOpe.-PiedmOm Uhg.

DEATH BY a BEAR.-The Journal o

DEATH BY A BEAR.-The Journal OF
Quebec says:
The coroner was called on Tuesday TO
make an inquest on the body Of farmer,
named J. B. Canton, who lost his life in
combat wlha bear on Monday last. 1t
appears that at noon on that day, bear,
which had been already seen in that neigh
borhood, had attacked one OF Canton's
cows, and he determined to follow the ami
NAL, armed with fowlmg piece. In the
evening discharge Of fire arm was heard
at distance. His prolonged absence hav-
ing excited fears for his safety, a party
of neighbors set out to seek for him, and
the following day found his corpse in
state which indicated terrible struggle be-
tween the man and the ferocious animal.
He was completely disfgured, land his gun
broken in many pieces lying around about
him. Near him was the bear, pierced
with two balls in the flank and shoulder.
Canton leaves FIVE children. The bear
has since been soled at Quebec for "a.
He weighs 800 pounds, from which it
may be Judged what kind of an adversary
poor Canton had.
