CHoLERA.-We were inquired of in mar
ket this morning, by numerous friends
from the country, whether the cholera ex-
isted in Dayton, telling us that the most
extravagant stories of its prevalence here
were afloat in their different neighbor-
hoods. We can state that not single case
of cholera has been, officially reported by
the Board Of Health, and from frequent In
quiries of physicians, we are informed that
nothing Of the kind exists up to the pres
cnt time. These wicked stories, we learn,
are put in circulation by hueksters and
others who 60 about the country buyingup
marketing; and it is of course done for the
purpose of getting the articles at low rates,
so that they viii be able to make exhorbit-
ant profits on them when brought to mar
ket. This is the true explanation of the
matter. When the cholera makes its APP
pearance here, we shall apprize our readers
Of tile fact without delay.
STORM IN SHELBY CoUNTY.--As we learn
from the Sidney Democrat, of yester4
day, the destructive storm, of which
mention has been made as occurring in that
county, on Wednesday OF last week, was
particular injurious in Turtle Greek Town
lship. 1t swept over the farm of VIM. Haig,
unrooing his dwelling, and demolishing a
tobacco shed, and also the house of an Irish
man further west, whose name we did not
learn. The large and substantial frame
barn of Henry Wakeman, seventy-four by
forty feet, was blown down. 1t contained
his hay and grain. Four Of his horses were
crushed to the floor by the falling hay, but
their lives were marvelously preserved by
the joists sustaining the hay, being sus-
pended about four feet above the floor by
the stalls or other obstruction. The horses
? were afterward pulled out one by one from
under the dcadall with but little if any
injury.
BULLY Truman b. Handy, Esq, the
celebrated builder, on Mt. Auburn, outside
of Cincinnati went into an enclosure, Oh
Wednesday, where $500 bull WINS grazing
which attacked him flercely. The animal
did not mind pitchfork with which Mr.
Handy tried to defend himself, but caught
him upon his horns, tossing him with vio-
lence to the ground, and attempting tC
stamp and gore him. Some men near by
observed the scene and came to the rescue
driving the bull away. Mr.. Handy's in
iuries were severe but not dangerous, III
Immediately got his rifle and made good.
