Melancholy intelligence still comes
from Russia concerning the progress
of the cholera in that country. The

its ~virulence, though in some places
there was a slight diLlinutiOn of the
number of deaths. European Russia
is entirely overrun by the disease.
Mrs. B. A. Park, Of watertown,
Connecticut, made a ''grasshopper bo-
quet'' which received a premium at
the WATERFOWL Fair, under the head
Of domestic Manufactures" The in
seets are arranged on wires in the
shape of a boquet, the monotony Of
grasshoppers being relieved with an
occasional ladyburg.
Licking county, Ohio, is Demo-
cratic. The sinking fund to pay up
thirty thousand dollars now coming
due Is missing. A large meeting of
taxpayers, irrespective of party, ap-
pointed a committee to investigate,
but the Democratic officials refused to
show their books. 1t was testified in
court in Licking county, that the
Democratic Auditor, and a Demo-
cratic Commissioner were bribed to
work and vote for a new bridge, and
that they took the money and did the
work.
General Butler for Governor of
Massachusetts, appears to be growing.
The Federal ofice-holders are said to
be working for him as "the Admins
tration candidate and it is said,
furthermore, that with this Mr.. Bout
well is greatly dissatisfied, and that

He has proved himself a far more
"ugly customer" than he was estima-
ted. Of course as a plurality vote
elects, the Democrates are growing in
h~opefulness that MI. Adams will be
the next Governor of the State.
Under a law enacted at the last ses-
sion of the Vermont Legislature only
graduates of normal schools are to be
permitted to serve as teachers in the
public schools of the State. AS there
are something over 1900 districts in
the State, with not more than one
fourth that number Of available gradu-
ates, and the ''normals'' are only
about 100 school ma'am power annu-

cent. will get married and retire every
year, the rural districts are necessarily |
trying to reconcile themselves to shut
ting up their literary shops until their
lawmakers come to their senses.
Judge Chase has left his Wisconsin
health seeking retreat, proclaiming
himself nearly as strong as ever and
a Presidential candidate in earnest.
His idea OF the political prospect, as
explained by himself, is as follows:
IT remark again that a strict adj
herence to the ancient principles Of
the Democratic party, and the princi-
Piles Of equity and justice which un-
derlie the foundations Of the Govern

Hon. Horace Greeley reached Min
neopolis, Minnesota, or the 18th. All
along the route from Oshkosh and
Madison, Wisconsin,, he was greeted
by the people, many Of whom forced
their way into the ian to shake hands
with him, and to such an extent was
this ceremony INDUCED in that Mr.,
Greeley's hand became much swollen
and quite painful. His reception at
the fair grounds was a most catering
one. The exhibition, it is stated, was
quite q small affair, being largely
made up of human monstrosities.
The managers arranged to draw an
immense audience by means of Mr..
Greeley, and succeeded admirably.
Never before on any similar occasion

Greeley rose and faced the multitude
he was greeted by prolonged cheers,
and hailed asthe "Minnesota farmers I
