WE have referred in our local col
umns to the death of Capt. Porter at
SeWickley, OF Cholera, and also to the
remarks ofthe Pittsburgh papers in re-
laiion to the looked for appearance Of
ihe disease in that city at any hour
The news from New York in this morn
ing's dispatches show that the cholera
Is extending in that city, and is consid-
ered more formidable now than at any
previous period Monday evenings
New York papers, received Last night,
confirm the subst ance.of the dispatches
this morning The ooBazaereiaI -AoF,er-

not aiarningly prevalent, yet ii Is on

the cholera does not break out among
them sooner or later. The disease
follows the lines OF travel, especially
immigration. And this being the case
We are warned 10 expect the common
fate and 20 prepare ourselves Accord
ingly. We can only prepare by doing
our whole duty in the matter OF cleanli-
ness-cleanliness in respect to our per-
sons and our dwellings and premises.
Every family should make a free use of
dtsinieetants. In addition, all should
be careful of their diet. Good, plain,
wholesome food should be used. and
everything like stale meat or vegetn-
bles carefully avoided. Generally those
persons who eat and drink TO excess
are the first victims of cholera. Their
systems being unnRtuFally overtaxed
and stimulated, readily invite and Weld

Journal Of Health cautions its readers
against drinking freely of ice water
when heated, as In doing SO tIthe eoui-
nortnm OF heat, SO necessary to the
system, is destroyed. Il recommends
also caTeiulness in the matter OF bath
Ing. Excessive bathing weakens the
system. Enough for cleanliness, such
as the sponge bath three or four times
week, Is all that Is required. In a
word, the best medicine for every citi-
zen IN these times is to be clean and
