CHOLERA NOTES.

From the Trenton Gazette, Aug 16.
We have heard of two cases of cholera in
our county, In the neighborhood Of Lynn
Point, one of which proved :stal. One Of
our most intelligent ply sicians made the
remark one day this week that there was
more sickness in the neighborhood Of Tren-
ton than there had been for some time.
From the Knoxville Chronicle, Aug 16.
The section hand, Mr.. Cannon, down
with cholera at McMillan's Station, we
learned Yesterday, by the noon train, died
about 8 O'Clock on Thursday.
The news from Carter's Station is still of
an unfavorable character, and considera-
BILE amount of unessiness is felt in that
community. The death of young Schell
was not confirmed by the noon train yes
terday, and we will hope that we were mis-
informed in our yesterdays issue.
Only one funeral took place yesterday,
that of John Willis, of Shieldstown, wLo
was attacked at 10 O'Clock on Thursday
mo ming and died the same night.
Mr.. S. B. Luttrell had severe attack Of
the prevailing disorder, but by timely pre-
caut on the danger was averted, and last
night he was resting easily. He attributes
hi, illness to a small slice of watermelon.
Mrs. Elizabeth Shields was lying last
night In precarious condition from chol-
ers, which is also attributed to the same
cause as that of Mr.. Luttrel.
We had call yesterday from Hon. j. NJ.
Meek, of New Market. de reports that up
to date there has not been a case Ct cholera
in Jefferson county.
From the Knoxville Chronicle, Aug. IL.
The order forbidding the sale of water
melons has been made of non effect, by par
ties bringing in mixed loads of watermel-
ons and musk melons, End selling a very
small muskmelon for from % to so cents
and donating a watermelonof size to cor
respond with the price p id for the musk
melon.
F:om the mail agent on the Western
bound passenger train, who is a resident of
Carter's Station, we learn that there are
four C Ases at that place, namely: Young
Robert Shell, younger brother and sister,
and Miles Perricks, a son-in-law of old
man Shell, deceased. None of the cases,
however, are considered dangerous, and all
of them are improving. There is some ex-
element there still, but healthier feeling
seems TO exist.
From the mail agent of the eastern bound
train, we learned that Miss Ingledow
died on Friday morning in Chattanooga, of
cholera. Although come report that it was
not cholera, the agent says that be was at
the house and the father of the girl told
bin that it was cholera. She was taken
down Cd Thursday evening about O'Clock
and died early Friday morning. He says
that there is al ayerace of two cholera
deaths In THAT place every day. Yet no ex-
element prevails and everybody is taking
matters quietly.
The news from other points continues
good.
Cholera runners were afloat in our city to
some extent yesterday, but with slight
foundation for the same. DR.. Bailey, the
health officer, informed us last night that
there were really only three cases Of cholera
in the city, and that they were all doing
well aud likely to recover. TheTs are 9TH
er parties, living in that neighborhood, OPP
posite the lanyard, on Second creek, who
are suffering with cholersic or premonitory
symtoms, bat no fears are entertained that
it will reach violent type. DR.. Boyd,
we understand, attributes the CutbreakiDg
of the disease in that neighborhood to the
nae of the water out of the spring opposite
the LANYARD, and has notified Sll persons
liyi NO near there to desist from using 1t,
We DO not think that there is the least
cpuse for excitement, or fear Of an epidem-
jc, as there is nothing in the cases spoken
of TO Indicate anything Of the kind, yet 1t
will be well for persons living in that neigh
borhood to look we'll to the matter OF clean
Illness and their diet.
