Strange and Terrible Epidemic In
the Northwest.

The Northern papers tell OF q strange
and terrible epidemic that has broken
out in Indiana, completely battling all ef-
forts of the local physicians, and carrying
off every patlentin few hours. A paper
thus describes the symptoms and pro-
gress Of the disease:
There are no symptoms indicating its
approach. The patient is attacked with
chill, and thinks he has an attack OF
the ague; but as soon as the chill is over
the patient sinks into a stupor, from which
he rarely revves. The muscles are rigid;
the pupil of the eye is insensble to eth
er light or touch; the surface OF the body
is extremely. tender and sensitive; the
head is drawn back; the jaws are fixed,
and the breath is drawn forcibly, with q
Kissing sound, as if great effort, through
the closed teeth; the patient is blind and
deaf.
In children the stupor is very liable tc
| be broken by frequent convulsions. Du
ring the stupor large black spots (many
of them raised up like b(isters) appear on
the surface Of the body and limbs, the pa
tent usually dying in from two to ioul
hours. In some rare cases the patient
fingers along for days IN aspecies Of low
typhoid fever, accompanied by blindness
deafness, paralysis of the extremties &c
In some cases the patient revives from
the stupor, feeling so well as to believe
himself convalescent; but, in the course
of an hour or two, is seized with terrible
delrium, terminating in coma IA stupor)
and death.
This disease leaves the patient in ty'
phoid fever, and very low, and liable to
loss of sight or hearing, and to paraly ysls

wars, trade, industry and enterprise are all in

Of being eschewed and avoided, 10 eagerly sought

or the railroad stocks enumerated above there are
but two that can be bought below par-Erie and
Southern old. 1t is hardly believed by any one
that old Southern can earn dividend. Erie, how.
ever, is earning at least l6 per cent per annum for
the common stock, and ought to pay ten per cent
this year. The development of the six foot gauge
in the Western railway system is going to ex-
ercise powerful influence on the receipts Of this
road. The Great Western is already through to
Akron, and is sending good deal of traffic over
the Erie. By the lst Of January it will be com.
pleted to Cincinnati, where it will connect with
the Ohio and Mississippi TO st. Louis, and the
Southern Illinois to Chicago via Cairo. A passen.
ger travelling from New York to st. Louis or Chi.
cago will then enter the sleeping car at Jersey

The official call for the Union State
Convention, to be held at Columbus
on the 1Tth of June next, the ami
vcrsary Of the Battle of Bunker Hill,
is given in another column. We are
glad to see this early movement on
the part of the State Committee :;
it indicates proper appreciation of
the importance Of the coming con-
test, and a determination to oren the
campaign in such season ard to con
duct the canvass with such spirit as
must result in a glorious victory
Let the loyal and patriotic voters of
the State properly sustain tie State
Committee in their I3ud;ble work,
by the prompt and efficient adoption
of such measures as will insure tho
rough and efficient organization by
counties, townships and school dis
tricts-an organization that will en-
brace and bring to the polls every
true friend Of the government urder
which we live and to which cur un-
divided allegiance is duc-and there
can be 10 room for doubt or mis-
giving as to the result. Trusting
to the patriotism Of the people as a
guide and incentive to duty at
time like the present, in the last can
vass the measures ordinarily adopted
to effect organization ard bring out
voters, were to a great extent neglec-
ted by the Union men, W lille cur OF
ponents kept up thorough organi-
tion and brought to bear against Us
the full force of their party machi-
merry, which, with the absence Of
ten of our voters to one Of theirs in
the army, gave them an advantage
over Us that secured their success.
Proiting by the lesson thus taught
us, we must in the coming contest
pursue a different line Of policy, op-
pose organization with organization,
and by vigilance ard activity be up
to and if possible smPass them in the
use of means calculated to insure
success. This, with the aid Of the
vote of our gallant soldiers, for ta-
king which provision will doubtless
be made by the present Legislature,
will result in a verdict frcm cur pco-
pie that Will teach rebels and those
who sympathise with them that pat
riotic devotion to tie cause of the
country in Ohio is a tangible reali-
