The CHoLERA.-The Cholera Is said
to have broken out in Asia and to be
moving steadily westward. The Lon
don Telegraph Of the 22d of June says
the last Red Sea news brought word
that Mecca and Medina are vast lazar
houses of cholera smitten victims, the
pilgrims perishing all along the road
to the shrines from Jedda and the
southern ports, and Sheiks who had
come to kiss the Kaaba turning back
in horror with their trains, to succumb
in tents and houses where they had
shut themselves up. Already Egypt
has been reached, and the fellahs there
are perishing by thousands so much
SO that the Italian and French har-
bors are shut against vessels from Al
exandria. Marseilles has kept all the
mail boats in quarantine ever since
two moribund passengers were landed
in the Toilette and at last we our
selves have been obliged to confront a
peril that cannot be disregarded. The
newspapers and letters which went out
OF the general post Office on Tuesday
last were sent in boxes instead of bags,
TO prevent Infections being carried cut
of Egypt by the mail passing through
the country. That, indeed, is not a
precaution On our own belief, but il
will also be observed, with regard to
the overland dispatches coming home
ward. All the instances we enumer-
ate, and others which might be cited,
prove that the cholera is on its peri
odical march.

THE EpIscopAL CoNvENrIoN. The
coming general convention of the
Episcopal Church in October next,
will be one Of the most important in
the entire history Of the American
Episcopal Church. According to Rev.
DIR. John Cotton Smith, in his reply
to the Bishops Pastoral, an effort will
be made to introduce new canon, in
tended to allow to the clergy of this
church more liberal relations with
those of other denominations. This
movement will meet with vigorous re-
sistance as well as hearty support
The clergymer identified with it are
well known for their perseverance, and
independence, as we'll as for a tenden-
cy to controversial discussion, while
the Bishop will be supported in the
course he has adopted by the vast
body of his clergy.
The return of delegates from the
southern dioceses will be another and
still more important feature of the
coming convention, and there are
questions to be considered which will
aid to mako the occasion one Of spe-
cial interest.

EXHIBITION OF HoRsEs.-The Fifth
National Exhibition of Horses will be
held at the National Park, in Kalama-
zoo, on the Sd, 4th, 9Th and 9th days
of October next. A premium list of
5000 is to be opened to exhibitors
from the United States and Canadas.
The first trotting premium, q, 900 !;
first running premium, $500. The
schedule comprises thirty-three class
es, embracing all kinds, conditions
end ages, from colts under eight
months old to the sturdiest stations
and thoroughbreds. The Michigan
Central Railroad will transport horses,
sulkies, trotting wagons and grooms
free, from September 9th, on the usu-
al terms, and passengers at half fare
during the week Of the Exhibition
Application may be made to the Sec
rotary for information in regard to
other arrangements. Horse fanciers,
amateurs and advocates of improve
ment in stock and breeds Of his equine
majesty, the horse, will govern them
selves accordingly. Hon. Chas. e.
Stuart is President, and Geo. +. Kid
der Secretary Of the Association.

The TrTLR OF THE PREsIDENr.-The
editor Of Providence paper enlight-
ems his readers upon titles, and says
Of the President, he is not "Honora-
ble," like the members of Congress,
or State Senators and Judge Of the
Superior and inferior courts; he is not
"His Excellency," like Governors and
Ambassadors. He is simply "the
President" This is not only mat
ter of usage, but it has been settled
by Congress. A proposition was
made to give an official title to the
President, and the one that was re-
ceived with the most favor was "His
Highness the President of the United
States and the Protector of their Lib
critics." But after discussion, it was
decided that the title should be the
President" The dignity and sim
plicity of this is far more effective
than any of those swelling titles that
have come down to us from barbarous
times. Any other title is ridiculous,
vulgar and snobbish.

NEWS.

In these "piping times of peace"
there is dearth of general news,
quite in contrast with the superabun-
dance of that article during the few
exciting months which closed with the
final surrender of the Confederate ar
mics. Texas now has to be raked
lersistently for the last sulphurous
vestiges of warlike incidents, and
Tornados, Hurricanes, Shipwrecks
and such trivial occurrences, with the
customary soporifics in the way of
European Intelligence, London Mar
kets House of Lords items, intelli-
gence from Spain and other heather
nations, make up the quota Of ire
pressiblo Geographic dispatches to the
Associated Press.
The great Commercial Convention
has had its week Of reason and rev.
elryr Barnum's Museum has been
burned, not, it is said, without the aid
of phosphorus, the Siberian plague
has been lost sight of, and the great
approaching sensations. the Atlantic

Freshets at the East.

A Philadelphia dispatch says the
rain of Sunday caused severe fresh
ct in the Schuylkill river, causing
great destruction of property. A num-
Der Of small houses on the banks of
the river have been carried away
The aims house meadows arc over
flowed. The trestle work on the west
ern side Of the Chestnut street bridge
is carried away. The Schuylkill ca
nal is badly damaged. Several bridg-
es along the Wissahickon have been
carried off and the streets of Many
unk are flooded. Several miles are
flooded and number of canal boats
are wrecked. The track of the Nor
ristown Railroad is under water SO
that the trains cannot run.
A dispatch from New Brunswick,
N. j., says: We have been visited by
a heavy freshet in the Raritan river.
The lower part of the city is under
water. The rise in the river began
about 2 o'clock Monday morning, and
itrose ten feet above high water mark,
but last evening was slowly falling
The Delaware and Raritan Canal is
broken in several places, and several
days must elapse before navigation
can be resumed on it again. A num-
Der of BOATS, barges and other crafts
have been carried away. The amount
of damage cannot be very well esti-
mated at present, but it will be con-
siderable. The boat yards have also
suffered considerable loss by the fresh
ct.
A dispatch from Sommerville, N. j.,
says a heavy storm set in here Sun
day afternoon, causing the most extern
sive food known in these parts since
the year 1911. Along the line of the
Raritan river, field of grain and
meadows are completely flooded and
the damage must be unprecedently
great. Houses and barns are nearly
submerged, and fences and highways
are completely lost to sight. At Mid
dlebrook bridge was completely un.
dermined and caused the smashing up
OF freight train on the New Jersey
Central Railroad. In Consequence Of
this disaster some twelve Founders
were precipitated into the flood, and
Of cars containing cattle,
sheep and hogs were piled into one
another in ruInous confusion. Many
Of the animals were saved from the
wreck only to find a watery grave
The flood at present prevents the en-
ployees Of the road from clearing
away the debris, and the bridge re-
mains impossible.
About 200 feet Of the road bed of
the South branch Railroad, near the
bridge across the Raritan River, is
washed away by the freshet causing
a suspension in the running Of the
trains. The water is now falling

E1The Union Pacific Railway,

OuR SAGINAW FRIHNDs.-During the
past few days a number Of ladies and
gentlemen from Saginaw have been
sojourning in Goderich Tor the benefit
of their health, and as it would never
do to let them depart without some
mark of hospitality, it was planned to
drive them out to Clinton last evening,
Thursday l3) in order that they
might get a glimpse of the resources
of our fine county, and enjoy them
selves in pic-nicing, free-and-easy
style. Accordingly buses, carriages,
etc. were levied upon, and party Of
about seventy of the ladies and gen.
tlemen of Saginaw and Goderich start
cd at 4 P. Nj. Everybody being in the
best Of humor, the way was beguiled
by many joyous burst of song, and
by many a flashing reparteo. AT
Clinton the party put up at the Gin
ton Hotel, kept by Mr.. r. FL. Reid,
and after partaking of a suitable re-
past, which had been ordered before
hand, proceeded to amuse itself &C
cording to the varied taste Of those
composing it. The young and gay
tripped it on the Eight fantastic toe"
the elders gravely discussed "pop"
and international politics, and alto
gether few hours were passed away
very pleasantly. Such reunions have
a tendency to cement still more firmly
the bonds of friendship already SUBJ
sisting between Saginaw and Code
rich, and we earnestly hope that the
daily line of steamers expected next
year, and the consequent increase of
trade and traffic, may be the means of
rendering our intercourse as profitable
as it is pleasant to all concerned
Most of our visitors intend, we be-
lieve, to start for home this evening.
