Russia.

The latest European mails have
further intelligence of the progress of
cholera in Russia, from which it ap-
pears that in some places the proper
ton of deaths still continues very high.
At Boresolegbsk, a town of 10000
inhabitants, for short time $50 per-
sons died every day. In one village
in Voronetz seventy persons have died
out of population of 200. At Mini
Novgored in one day every case proved
fatal. In some places the people are
panic stricken and doing nothing,
looking upon the scourge as divine
punishment, to which they are bound
to submit. Everywhere there is a
want of medical aid. In the district
of Navjoperski there is only one
doctor for population of 5000. He
has visited patients who are forty or
fifty miles distant from the village. In
St. Petersburgh the disease has con-
siderably diminished.

The following extract from the law
relating to salvage should be pasted
in the hat Of every vessle captain and
owner:
"Thc master has authority to throw
overheard a part Of the cargo for the
purpose of saving the ship, and the
residue Of the cargo in case of ex-
treme peril. Where the goods are
thus thrown overheard the owners Of
the strip and residue of the cargo must
contribute pro rata to the loss sustain
ed by the owners Of such goods for
their common benefit; and the master
has a right to detain the goods of the
shippers until their proper share Of
contribution is paid or secured"

From Ann ArbOr.

A correspondent to the Detroit
Free Press under date of September
9Th, writes as follows:
"A child of Charles Church, of this
city, five years of age, was acciden-
tally killed by poison yesterday morn
ing. The child had been taking black
berry cordial, and the father, intending
to give the usual medicine, by mistake
gave it a teaspoonful of cyanide pot
ASIA, which Church had formerly
used in the daguerreotype business
1t complained that the medicine burn
ed its mouth, and Immediately went
into spasms, and died within an hour.
John Stoll, a man living in the
Township Of Scio, was killed Satur-
day, by falling from a straw stack
He was assisting in threshing, and fall
ling, struck his head upon a stone, and
died in few minutes afterward."

could better afford to pay outright a
sa'hcient to remunerate the proprietor
and lessee of this house for their eff.
forts, rather than to suffer il to deter
iorate. The society here is excellent,
comprising much Of intelligence, re-
fnement and sterling worth. The
wholesome influence Of the Churches
upon the tone of the community seem
ed to me quite marked, and the most
Inveterate sneerer at these institutions,
If he were honest, would be compelled
to admit that they have proved of inesti
mable value to Alpena. The work of
Improvement is being prosecuted on
every side, as though the people had
come here to stay, and not merely to
make money for time and then leave,
and while there is manifestly yet much
to do in this direction, there is as
manifestly determination that il
shall be done. The river is a fine
stream, while, few miles back, good
farming lands are reached, and the
work Of cultivation is already begun.
| see no reason to doubt that this
bustling and good looking town in des-
tined to large and permanent growth.
Two papers, the Pioneer and Argus,
are printed here. The former is the
old established Republican paper, and
has seen much of hard struggle, but
is gradually getting a secure foot
hold; the latter is newly started and
seems to be doing well. Alpena has

Death in a wheat Bin.

A terrible accident occurred at the
elevator Of Musgrave & Lacey, at
Charlotte, on the afternoon of the 9th.
The man having charge of the eleva-
tor was loading car with wheat, and
finding the outlet clogged, suspected
all was not right, and on making an
investigation found that two small boys
were in the bin. He gave the alarm
at once, and let the wheat out on the
floor as soon as possible, but when the
boys were taken out they were both
dead. One of the boys was a son of
John Shear, the other Of Jerome
Smith. Both lived in the vicinity of
the elevator and had been frequently
warned of the danger of playing in
the wheat bins.

Caying Of moIteubeck Mine.

A dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pen
nsplvania, states that the large mine Of
the Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron Com
pany, known as the Holtenbeck mine,
caved in on Saturday morning, caus-
ing great CONSERVATION at that place.
The mine was abandoned Saturday,
as it has been considered unsafe for
months. An area of five or six acres
of ground sunk 200 feet, when the
mine collapsed. Thousands of people
have visited the scene since the caving.
The mine was nearly worked out
The greatest loss will be to the miners
who are thrown out of employment by
the occurrence.

A correspondent of London pa

of June Odd, says:
"The famine in Persia NAV be said
to have almost come to an end, but
the distress caused by it will continue
for a long time. The price of bread
has fallen considerably, but all the
property of the poorer class, excepting
the most necessary clothes, has long
since been sold or exchanged for bread
and it is but too evident that starva.

more. On the road from Bushire &c
Shiraz one can see at many place,
half-interred bodies. AT caravansar,
about thirty miles from Shiraz, man,
people, it is stated two hundred, die,
of starvation in about week. Kas
Groom, a town eighty miles from Shiraz
is half depopulated. Many of its in
habitants went to Shiraz, Bushire an,
other large towns, and great number
died. On the roads and highway

GERS of the present State administra-

ragged there during July is abating-
The disease has been very fatal to for

Para, where the British Consul, Mr..

the epidemic. Many inhabitants of
Para have fed to the interior of the
country, and some regions have been
almost entirely depopulated from tho
ravages of the disease.

Tragedy in Illinois.

man, a well known drunkard, killed
his wife, an old lady of 20 years, by
stabbing her with carpenters scratch

A correspondent of the Detroit
Tribune, who recently made a trip
from Saginaw to Mackinaw, thus speaks
of Alpena:
"About thirty miles more, up into
the extreme northwest corner q Tun-
der Bay, brings us to Alpena, the best
looking and most inviting town, by all
odds, between Port Huron and Mack

Thunder Bay river, which extends
back into Alpena county about half
across its territory when it divides
into two branches, the northern going
up into Pres ne Isle county, there
turning in southwesterly course to
its sources in Montmorency county,
while the southern passes in a south
western direction through Alpcna, in
to and through the eastern and south
ern half of Montmorency, finally TAX
ing its rise in the northern part Of
Otsego. As we steam up the bay, the
smoke pouring out of its numerous
mill stacks, its four Churches, its large
Union School, and the multitude Of
neatly painted white residences, many
of them quite large and elegant, all
give the town pleasing air Of busy
thrift, intelligence and refinement
which a closer inspection does not be.
