We are informed BY telegraph Of the death
Of our former fellow citizen, Champe Carter,

uate Of the University Of Virginia, after
which he studied Law, and practiccd with con-
siderable distinction in his native State. Al
about the age Of 40 he removed 10 this place
and commenced the pract ice Of law, which he
continued but short time when he was elect
cd Clerk Of the Lincoln County Court In
all Of the relations Of life, as lawyer, clerk,
member Of the church, citizen and neighbor,
he departed himself a. a christian gentleman.
Mr.. Carter vas man Of scholastic attain

Of whom are engaged In industrial pursuits,

without exception, have attained the highest

Cholera has undoubtedly made ia appear
ancs In our neighboring town Of Lancaster,
and the lists Of mortality have been sufficient
10 produce q fearful panic among the citizens.
and many Of them have ied from their homes.
This excitement Il hurful aud wholly unnec-
essAry. There are certain sanitary measures
connected with personal precautions, which
the ablest medical men In the world assert
positively have the power Of controlling the
disease and Of thwarting ia progress. The
experience Of other Kentucky ,orps that have
been afflicted with the disease IA, that timely
and thorough precautionary measures will stay
its progress. First comes a thorough and
rigid cleaning up Of every nook aud corner.
Avoidance Of alarm and calm cou6denes In
sanitary preparation and personal efficiency in
Observance Of common senss rules are equally
necessary. Avoid all articles Of food that
have natural tendency TO derange the stom-
ach and bowels. Baihe regularly, and
thoroughly ventilase your rooms. See that
your sleeping apartments have sufficient ven-
tilation at night, and are not too much crowd
cd. Kindle little hre on the hearth night
and morning, and create drat up the chin
ney, in order TO remove the heavier gasses
that settle about the aoor and under the beds.
Keep little lime on hand and daily sprinkle
every place suspected Of emitting foul Odors.
Attend TO the bowels, by seeing that they
properly do their work, and that they are reg
ular In action. Drink pure water, II possible
eisten water. Avoid great fatigue, great anx-
isty, fright, fear, daiorioufiag d'talz, and too
much ice or cold water Above all, avoid
making an apOthecary shop Of your stomach,
and leave the issue 10 Him who holds your
destiny In III. hands.

Live City Guardians.

Our livs Board of Trustees have covered
themselves all over with well merited honors
since cholera has made IL appearance In Cen
Hal Kentucky, BY giving timely attention to
proper sanitary measures In and around town.
They visited personally, the premises Of every
citizen within the corporate limits, and In
speoted and condensed such nuisances as met
their scrutiny. The County Judge acted with
the same Prc@P,ness. giving hls personal At
tention 10 having the diseaae-breeding 9Th
removed from premises outside Of the juris-
diction Of the town authorities The work Of
cleansing and purifying the town Is now pro-
crossing in earnest, under thestriet surveillance
OF the Trustees and officers Of town, and We
hope by next week 70 claim the eleanest town
in Kentucky, as Il Il a, this writing the

Cholera at LANCASTER.

Cholera made its appearance in our neigh
boring town Of Lancaster on last Friday NOR.
ming among the colored people, in a most vio-
lent form. and several deaths have occurred.
An old negro who had eaten largely Of green
corn and exposed himself in water for sew
eral hours was the first victim. Mr. William
Turner was attacked while riding along the
road and died in few hours. On Saturday
negro woman who was sick with consump-
tion was the next 10 die with cholera symp-
toms. On Sunday no new cases occurred and
IL was thought that the disease had departed; I;
but on Moaday several persons were reported
sick, and the excitement grew intense. Tues
day morning four new cases were reported, all
Of whom died that day. On Wednesday NOR
ming Mn Collier, wife Of the city butcher,
took the disease and died that evening. On
the same day three negroes died, and four
new cases were on hand. The disease Is pro
wing fatal in almost every ease. Three or
fssr hundred psrsons had left town BY We'd
nssday evening.
