DaownxD. readers will remember
t:aas some days aeo ws published . notics
stating that the son Of Mr. W. B. Barnes, Of
Gilbert, had wandered from his home while
laboring under an epileptic ct. to which he
was frequently subject. His dead body
was found yesterday in Duck Creek, on
the Harrison street road. Il Vas
scarcely covered with water, and bad he
not been utterly helpless, he would not
have besn drowned.
Tss CBoLsnA.- A party Of homeopathic
physicians in St. Louis have recently pub
lished circular in the democrat announ-
c;ng the principal predisposing cstpes Of
the cholera. Among these 10 the fear Of
tho disease, and the exercise Of too much
energy. II the physicians are correct in
their surmises, and We have no reason to
believe that they are not, we think our
City Fathers arc about the safest set Of
fellows in this western country.
ACCIDENT. "A few evenings ago. while
young lsdy vas crossing the street not fer
from the Post Ofice, . wagon vas driven
furiouslv past her, from the rear Of which
extended . long pole, awaying and bending
in the most threatening manner. Tho end
Of it struck her above the LEFT eye, cutting
an unseemly cash. and knocking her down.
The Y ,und, although no triflins affair. was
not dangerous one. and the young lady il
nov doing we'll. We suggest that team
sters who have such press Of business o.
to warrant them in driving st headlone
speed. either select unfrequented thorough
fares. o. lay aside oil head breaking ap-
pendagss attached 70 their vehicles.
TsR AlLroHIAx TAsELRAux-The exhi.
bition Of the drama Of Milton'a Paradise
Lost, commences this evening in the
Theatre. To those who have read the sub
