A letter from responsible citizen Of Ozaukee,
(formerly Port Wsshington) Wis, to prominent
physician Of this city, written last Sunday states
that the cholera had broken out fearfully at that
place and for several days every case proved fatal
The population Of the town is about one thousand,
and the number Of deaths is given in the letter at
six or seven per day. The physicians had confessed
their inability to succor those who were attacked.
These melancholy facts but prove that i is useless

We were very much surprised to hear of four
deaths BY cholera on yesterday, at the town Of Ur.
bana. That town has always sustained the reputa.
ton Of very healthy place and, until we learned
the PARTICULAR we could not account for the sudden
announcement of the disease there. The facts, we
learn, are these aud we submit them to the public
so that not only ours other city authorities may
learn to be more vgant, especially at this season
of the year. An Irshman had shanty on the hill
side, about eighteen feet square, without window,
and but one low door. In the shanty was q cook
stove some little furniture and beds spread out on
planks laid out on the ground, where from sixteen
to twenty ate and slept The shanty was Astounding
in filth and dirt, and to cap ALL In one corner was
found q hole dug and covered with board, 90 that

to use as privy. Amid this filth these people
lived and on yesterday or last night four of them
died. The authorities have taken measures to re-
move the bodies and burn the shanty.-Ohio State

CHOLERA AT ThE CATHOLIC ORPHAN ASYLUM.
:. We have noticed that the cholera was raging in
the Catholic Orphan Asylum, ON the corner of Elm
and Nc Farland streets. Yesterday. we made in.
quiree and learned the facts in the case to be the
following -
On Monday last, the number of children in the
asylum was 16O. These were from eighteen months
TO nine years Of age. On Monday evening" at six
o'clock, one OF the children was taken with unmis-
taxable cholera symptoms DR.. Bonner. the regular
physician OF the asylum, was absent, and did not
arrive until the following morning. Other medical
gentlemen were called, but unavailingy Is at day.

four children were in collapsed state, and yester

was Of the most malignant character and the mani.
festations presented, quite extraordinary. The first
symptom was sinking Of the eyes, about which a
dark ring appeared, and in several cases the patient
was pulscless previous to any discharge from the
bowels.
The cause Of the infection of the Asylum IL not
clear. IL was thought by some. that the disease

early part OF the night. The stories that this grl
