TIE CHOLERA ON BOARD The SIERRA NRvADA.-
Considerable excitement EXISTS throughout town
garding tie appearance Of the cholera on board the
steamer Sierra Nevada during her passage from San
Juan to this pot.
The disease was in New-Orleans at the latest dates,
where nearly 10 per week we're dying. No signs OF
il appeared among the passengers until at Virgin Bay,
a Young girl who had been eating fruit lmprudently
was taken with severe cranp and died in few
hours those who accustomed to the disease rO-
nounced ii of once cholera of the most violent type
On the arrival Of the passengers at san Juan del Sur
several Others died, and at Consul Priests American
Hotel there were three dead bodies at one time Twen-
ty cOars were offered and refused TO bury them. The
natives generally left the town.
few days out from San Juan the cholera appeared
among the passengers, and continued to rage with
eTea. fury up to the day Of arrival here Saturday.
The deaths on board amount 10 80.
Our informant Of the passengers, states that in
ore four hour watch terminated fatally.
The chief mate of the steamer Mr.. Perry, died on
Friday. The doctor did not succeed IN saving one
case. Most of them were among the Storage passen
gers though several died in the upper and lower cabin
Among these was the Rev G.. Is. West, who was
his way here to take charge Of congregation in one
of the interior towns. There three cases on
board the steamer at the wharf which the Coroner as
serts are likely to prove fatal Two women died yes
terday morning, one named Mary Ann Allen, aged
twenty one Year,, VINO was 10 have been married 10
gentleman In Nevada, whe had written for her to
ont end Join him. Her body is now at tue office
OF the Coroner.
tx Mayor Garrison is taking the most energetic
steps in the matter and has dispatched the best med
eel aid in the city to aeud tue sufferers bonrd the
steamer We hear the most attering accounts of the
conduct of Capt Blehen during the trying scenes on
board tie Sierra Nevada For number OF nights be
die not take bis clothes off and regardless OF danger
was in attendance in oil parts of the ship to lend
ssiance ard soothe the last moments of the dying.
In conclusion, let us suggest 10 our readers that
though the dsense may exel to the city there should
be cause for alarm. The dryDess and general
clearly condition of the streets added to the remark
able salubrity OF this climate must prove e1ectual
bar to any thing like epidemic The unripe fruit
displayed IN the markets and stalls about town should
be aN ded and above all as little deviation possible
from the usual mode Of living should be made. We
repeat that the disease cannot spread to any extent in
this city, notwithstanding It's short-ived existence IN
20 and 81. Ordinary and prudence in eating and
din king cleanliness, serenity of mind, and en- abb
sence of useless anxiety and fear will be pretty sure
We furnish here With lis of the dead, as reported
by PfeI Foster, Who learn did everything IN his
power TO alleviate the distress around him. Miss Re
becca hTecbmGr whose name appears on this sad
list, WAS lovely girl from Europe, aged l6 years
Tho w brothers who had sent for her resided at Ne
vadn. One of them, who had not seen her for seven
yebrs Henry HiHchmar, was IN the city awaiting
her arrival IS coon az the steamer was teegraphed
he procured small beat and proceeded on board.
iuquIiug several passengers, be received The
Or afcd int gCnce that ste died when the steamer
was four de,s sail from this port. She is said TO have
been one Of TIE most lovely OF her sex. The gende-
man that attended Der during her sickness showed her
every attention and did all in his power to restore her
10 health but 10 10 avail. Her brother obtained her
hu Is aud found lock Of hair which she clipped for
her loved brothers in California.
In one instance a whole family, husband, wife and
child, died in three successive days.
