The CHOLERA IN EURopE-The cholera has
made its appearance in the North of Europe, and
this fact has necessarily produced some uneas-

substantially the same as that which it pursued
when it first broke ont in that country some FIVE
or six and twenty years back, and caused fear
full mortality and indescribable consternation.---
A more intimate acquaintance with this. unwel-
come visiter has shown that with the necessary
care and precaution its terrors may be greatly
lessened, and the British Central Board Of Health
has sounded the tocsin, so as to awaken the en-
erges of the people to the danger.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY "A dreadful tragedy oc-
curred in the parish of Calcasieu La, the latter
part of last month, which resulted in the death
of several men. For several weeks previous
Claiborne Hart and his son Charles had been
making violent threats against the lives OF jas.
NJ. Wilburn. Benton Wilburn, and William and
Jackson MCGEE; and on Saturday, the 18th ult.,
thew went to the houses Of the Wilburns and left
word that they intended to kill them. On the
following day, the lfeless bodies of Hart and his
son. completely filled with bnck shot, were found
near the residence of one of the Harris. The Sc
DUAL is told rs follows in letter dated Oct lst:
On Sunday last the parties on whom suspicion
rested rs the inurderers, gave themselves up to
the officers. They had their trial before Justice
Evans, in Calcasieu parish. by whom they were
acquitted. The friends OF Hart, over twenty in
number. were in attendance at the trial. As
soon as the prisoners were acquitted they took
possession of them, saying they would take them
to Texas and give them another hearing. They
ordered one of the McGees to cross his hands for
the purpose of tying him. On his refusal they
told him that he should either submit or be kill
ed whereupon he told them that he would take
his chance, and broke. They fired eight guns at
him as he ran, but he escaped and has not yet
been found. 1t is not known whether he was
wounded or not They then took James Viii:
burn, Benton Wlburn, jackson MCGEE and
Bowie MCGEE, and proceeded to Texas with
them. At Mr.. John Thompson's, on the Sabine
River, they stayed over night Through the in
tercsssion of Mr.. Thompson they liberated Jas.
Wiburn and proceeded over the river. A short
time after they crossed the river volley of guns
was heard, and shortly afterwards the three,
Benton Wilburn, and jackson and Bowie Nc
Gee, were found near the road lifeless-their
heads aud bodies perfectly ridded with balls
Where this will end it is impossible to say. -Ae

INDIAN NAMEs-"Poor," or "pore," which is
found to make the termination Of so many In
dian cities and settlements, signifies town.
Thus Nagpore means the town Of Serpents-a
definition, by the way, sufficiently appropriate
when we reflect on the treacherous character OF
the Sepoys BY whom it was so recently garrison
ed. "Abad" and "patam" also signify town ;
Hyderabad being Hyder's town, and Seringapa.
tam-from Seringa, name of the gold Vishnoo
being the town Of SeriDga. Allahabad, from
"Allab," God, and ''abad," abode, means the g.
bode of God, that city being the capital of Agra,
the chief school of the Brahmins and much re-
sorted to by pilgrims. PuDjab is the country OF
the Five Rivers and Doab isapplied to part Of

SHOE MAKERS Bound FOR VIRGINIA Within
the last week several shoe-makers in Danyers
have made small investments in Virginia lands,
purchasing warrants for 200 acres at the rate Of
81 per acre, and paying for them in shoes. The
State of Virginia has it is said, some 100000
acres of unimproved land, part of it old and part
new, lying west Of the Allegbanies.i The more
northern section of this vast tract is the seat Of
Eli Thayer's enterprise. The purchasers of the
warrants above referred to may locate anywhere
outside Of Thayer's domain. We are informed
that several manufacturers in Haverhi, and one
or two other towns of the county, have also
bought warrants.-.Salem Gazette.

EXTRAORDINARY PREsERvArIoN-The Hardy
Wing gives an account of the recovery of o lost
child which is really extraordinary. A little
boy, between four aud five years old, son Of
Mr.. wilkins, residing near Towards Lick, in
that county, strayed from home on Friday, the
9th instant. Search was made for it immediate
lily, and for FIVE days this search was continued
over rough and mountainous country, without
any tidings of the missing one although over a
hundred persons were engaged in seeking for it.
Whether it had been devoured by the wild
beasts, of which there are number in the noun
tains, or had been carried off by some malicious
person, seemed destined to remain my stery.-
The search was however, still confined, and on
the sixth day the little wanderer was found on
Cooks Greek, about five miles away from his
home. When found it was well and hearty,
having subsisted on grapes and berries, and when
called by his father the little fellow ran off down
the creek as fast as he could go, 1t seemed he
did not wish to lie caught, having apparently
enjoyed his six days ramble amazingly.

of passengers natives of Great Britain and the
Continent-migrating homeward to escape the
hard times here. This step may seem preferable
to them now, but in few months there must
be many thousands of laborers thrown out of
employ in the old countries, in view Of the sud-
den stoppage of the American trade. Many of
these home returning emigrants carry with them
considerable means, the result OF years Of toll
and economy. A letter from Newburyport says

that section are now returning 10 Ireland with

REPORTS OF THE KANSAS ELECTION Election
returns have been received from nearly every

trict, except the Leavenworth and Atchison Dis
tricts, has gone overwhelmingly Free State. Sucl
a disparity of strength was scarcely ever before
exhibited between two contendng parties fol
power as is seen in the vote throughout all Kan
sas, except on the Immediate Missouri border
Seventy to nothing, $50 to 8, 240 to O, 905 to
IL, this is the way the vote runs where the polls
were not convenient of access from Missouri
We said the Free State ticket was oyerwhelm-
ingly victorious except in the two districts men,
toned. In this we slightly erred. According
to the true vote cast in this district, the Free
State Party carried the day by 1900 majority,
out of an aggregate of about $500 votes. All
was right SO far, and would stand so, except for
the fraudulent returns mentioned elsewhere.
Admitting however, the johnson county, and
all fraudulent returns, Marcus J. Parrot is elect
