CHOLERA IN New YoRK.-The ap'
pearance of Asiatic cholera in New York
although it is thus far confined to single
vessel in quarantine, will send wave OIL
alarm through the country, out of all
proportion, probably, TO the cause. We
all knew that this mysterious malady was
travelling westward, and was to be ex-
pected here sometime during the present
autumn. Our hope was that ito arrival
would be delayed till the settled cold
weather, which has always proved
powerful check upon its virulence. And
it is now a matter of doubt whether the
cases, bad as they are, which are brought
over in the steamer Atlanta, may not be
so far in advance of that poisonous cur
rent in the air upon which the cholera is
supposed TO depend, that, with proper
care, the disease may be kept from ex-
tending itselfin this country at the pres,
ent time.
But as TO that, few days will deter
mine. However, it is the duty Of every
one in the meanwhile to make up bis
mind that, sooner or later, we are to have
partial visitation Of the cholera. This
being so, it should be remembered that
the first thing to do on the part both of
individuals and the community, is TO get
rid of all alarm and excitement about it.
as these are the very worst evils we can
have in sanitary point of view. The
next thing is, to make war--a war of ex-
termination--on filth in every form and
shape. Our municipal authorities should,
without a moments delay, take their
share of the matter in hand. Every
householder should look to his own
premises from garnet to cellar, and see
that everything is clean and sweet.
Every head of a family should have a
thoughtful regard for the physical regi-
men of himself and his own for, differ
ing as the medical authorities do upon
almost every point in the treatment of
cholera, they all agree that it never or
rarely attacks person in high state of
health, and that its virulence is in inverse
proportion to the patients vigor of con-
stitution. The requisite preparations
then, may be summed up in these words,
equanimity, cleanliness, good health

For JUDGE.-We learn that John A.
Jameson, Esq son OF Thomas jane
son Of this village--has been nominated
for Judge of the Supreme Court of Illi-
nois, by the republicans of the Chicago
district. There is probably no doubt OF
his election, and if be is II will give him
good berth for six years. He is man
of superior mental culture, and will be
popular judge. "UDcle Tom" gets smart

Touch, INDEED.-Tbe Nashville
Banner, in appealing for charity to some
portions of the South, speaks as follows
of the rebel private soldier:
4" Well, he fought the fight to the end,
and he lost-yes, in addition to his suf-
lerings he lost. He came home, not as
he expected to come, crowned with lau-
rels, but ragged, care worn and ruined,
his means gone, his hopes crushed, his
circle of friends deeimated, and bis
sweetheart, perhaps, if he bad one,
married to a quartermaster's clerk IN the
thinning service. Rather tough, this, but
true"

Yesterday, about noon, a man, travelling in
advance of fitting company, arrived here from

preached the house of John Meyers, who keeps
a store in the building located at the upper end
of the city, known as the ''old planning mill, y
and received permission from Mr.. NJ. to put up
his stock on his premises. Shortly thereafter
Meyers went out riding with his wife. About
clock the negro to whom the stranger had
sold the COW, appeared and asked for receipt.
The stranger went into Meyers for pen, ink and
paper, with which to write the receipt, and
while procuring it insulted the sster-in-law OF
Meyers. On Ms return the young lady in

asperated him that he went out to the front Of
his Residence, where the stranger was, and af-
ter informing him that he had been made ac
quainted with the language he had used to his
sister-in- law, struck, kicked and knocked him
off the platform. The fall broke the mans
neck. Meyers finding that he had killed the
man, eeinced the most serious regret, and gave
himself up to the authorities Coroner Corco-
ran held an inquest on the remains, to-day, and
