Tt weather to cooler temperature has had a
marked influence in reducing the number of
stantIy reported in that city, the number of

lyD, however, the cholera Is on the increase,
notw. outstanding the change in the temperature,
and on Monday last twenty-one cases and
seven deaths occurred in that city. The fact
that cholera has gained fOothold in the

active since the heat has moderated. There
are symptoms of an increased eemand for goods
from the South. Prints more active. The
assortment of fall styles is large and attractive.
There is no desire to press sales and prices are
firm. Bleached shrungs and sheeungs are in
very moderate supply with a fair demand.
Prices are steady. Brown goods are active
and firm. Drills OF heavy grade are In request

cassimeres of desirable kinds are moving more

NATURAL EXPECTS OF MIsCEGENATIoN-
Attemptto Poison.-Friday afternoon the resi-
dents of Oak street, between Batavia and Syca-
more streets, We're shocked at the brutal treat
ment of a good looking white woman, by her
negro husband. The couple had Just moved in
the neighborhood, and who they were and
cued the woman were entirely ignorant Of As
soon as released from the clutches Of her liege
lord-who in perfect harmony with negro in
srincts, after the honeymoon had passed had
been indulging the Africans disposition to
tyTannze over the weak and helpless-the
woman walked up the street and at the first
drug store purchased poison, which she swal-
lowed on her return, hoping thus to be re-
lie we'd from her loathsome condition. The dose
however proved too large TO produce the
desired object, and the stomach revloting, and
the skill of the physician being brought into
requisition, her life Is in a fair way of being
sayed.-Bufdlo Courier.

DISTURBANCE ON THE EASTERN SHORE OF
VIRGINIA.-Tne u. 5. tug Geneva, has re.
turneo TO Fortress Monroe, from the scene Of
the disturbance on the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia, near Drummondtown, between the in
habitants ana the negroes. From the state
ment of the officer in command of the detach.
ment of troops sent over TO preserve order, it
appesrs that the troubles originated in a band
OF W bite men hunting down some OF the negroes
for the purpose of searching for one named
Couch, who few days previous had attempted
TO cut the throat of a white man, and robbing
them of their arms and money. Complaint
was made to the civil authorities, and war
rants issued for the arrest of eleven of the
men committing the outrages upon the negroes.
The 14th instant was set apart for the hearing
OF the case. at a village named Woodstock.
On that day about one hundred well-armed
white men assembled, swearing they would
kill every negro who attempted to testify,
and threatened the magistrate. Mr.. Dix, with
violence IL the proceedings We're gone through
with. The magistrate seeing the state OF
affnrs, endorsed upon the warrants for the
arrest Of the parties the impossibility Of con-
ducti1g the trial under such circumstan ces,
ano gave it TO Major French, the agent Of the
Freedmen's Bureau. This latter officer ad-
vised the negroes to quietly return to their
homes, and while doing Sc were again assaulted
and pursued by the armed whites. until they
reached place ofkafety. Upon the arrival OF
the troops from the fortress they all dispersed
in every direction. not one of them being found
after the rigid search made by the soldiers.

From The Rochester union.

From The Rochester UEion.
To those who may at any time have enter
tanned doubts Of the feasibility Of constructing the
telegraph line through Russian America and Asia TO
connect the two continents, the information just re.
ceiyed will at once dispe their doubts The entire
feasibility Of constructing line over the entire route
can no longer DO questioned.
Col Palmer has received from st. Petersburg letter
which gives very interesting information. IL is from
Mr. s. Abasa. Russian gentleman who resided in our
city for long time, and who justly esteemed by
all who knew him. lie went 10 Russia under the
auspices OF the Telegraph Company. and proceeded
with party 10 mako examinations for the route OF the
telegraph through the region to tho east OF AMOR
River.
He writes under date Of Jan. 10 from Oskotsh. and
states that he has not only surveyed the entire country
from that place eastward TO Anadyr River but has de-
termned In person the route OF the telegraph line This
district Is that OF which little known and connects
with that portion OF Siberia whch Is settled and about
which there doubt Ii presents no obstacles.
and the work Of construction will 90 along there with
out difficulty.
Mr. Abass sent his letter by post to Irkurst where II
arrived on the 10Th Of February. Thence IL sent
by the wires eco miles to ST. Petersburg and LEFT there
by mail for this country on the 2lst OF February.
Mr. Abasa does not appear to have found anything In
aversng tbountry that he explored that excited
mark TO the practicabity Of constructing line
glance at the map will at once show the region he
visited. " is the unknown country about which the
croaksrs used TO soy so much.
As the entire limo Of the Russo American Telegraph
has been explored surveyed and the rous located aud
considerable PORTION OF the line constructed the day
draws when the wires will fash intelligence from
continent to the other with much ease as they
pow send 1t from town to town.
