expensive, but neat. She exercised
great taste in her dress, and was always
very clean. Her room was always very
tidy and in order, and, as l said before,

her to be q perfect lady. She hired
piano which she played upon. She was
not good performer, but said she was
very fond of music. She was fond of
going to Beecher's church, and was in
the haiti of attending every Sunday.

We note with pleasure q greater de-
gree of confidence on the part Of the
public as to our ability to " stamp out"
and fight off the cholera. The "Foun-
tain Head cases have demonstrated
that the cholera may do its work as
effectively in the country as in the city,
and it has caused many citizens TO make
up their minds to stand their ground at
home in case the disease should make
its appearance here. We have, beyond
question. a clean and healthful city,
What is equally as important We have g
full corps of faithful, skiIlful medical
gentlemen, who can insure prompt
treatment. That Is very important, and
should give our people courage. IL we
will but continue our prudence in diet
and our sanitary measures, we have
great reason to hope for continuance OF
our present good health.
