From the Louisrlle Ledger, We learn Of the
sudden death Of Prof A. &. Smith, the we'll
known portrait painter, who has been in our
midst several months makinga number Of ex-
cellcnt portraits Of our citizens. The sad
event occurred at his residence, in Louisville,

Louisville on Saturday evening" ast, in his usn-
al good health, and became unwell soon after
reaching home and continued to grow worse
Ill he died. The Ledgn does not state that he
died u cholera, which We presume was the
case. Prof. Smith was a man Of social merit,
and though with US only short time, en-
desred himself to nearly al our citizens. We
extend to his bereayed family whatever con-
ISOLATION there is in heartfelt sympathy.

cSrebs-deao, hierior journal,
Accept our thanks for extr. sheets, contain
ing some wise similarly resolutions Of your cit
i1ens which we wish especially to call to the
notice Of our citizens We insist that
SANITARY POLICE
includes the sum total Of available measures
for the prevention Of cholera in any place.
This being the case, evidently, then the ques-
ton comes up, have we adopted these meas
ures? We answer, we have not. Notwith-
standing the dreaded disease is approaching
50 near, and some Of our streets and alleys are
in very filthy condition.
Then on the ground that Sanitary Police in
cludes the most available means for its pre-
vention, the measurs required Of US are OBJ
vious and familiar. The thorough and fire.
quent cleansing of all streets, alleys, private
and public buildings, and vacant lots the
abatement Of all nuisances; daily removal Of
oflal; and conseryancy, /. e., the cleansing,
ventilation, and disenfection Of cess-pools and
water closets. In the localities Of cholera,
none is more significant among the signs Of
danger, than priry odor. Then Il should be
annihilated every where. The best and most
available disinfectants, are lime, and charcoal
dry earth, chloride Of lime, liquid coal tar,
chloride of zinc and sulphate Of iron. All
parts Of hdbitations should be thoroughly
ventilated and dryed. The fresh white-wash-
ing Of cellars will be found useful. Chloride
Of lime should be used, by being placed in a
SANGER, or other convenient vessel, in any sus-
Pected room or other locality in the house.
The same solidly, or solution Of green vitrol,
should be thrown daily into foul privies and,
during cholera time, especially in the case Of
patients with the disease, every water closet
and vessel used should be disinfected constant
ly by dilute solution Of chloride Of zinc,
chloride Of soda, permanganate Of potassim
or caTbolic acid. The transportation, disin-
fiction and removal OF all discharges from the
sick room to the safest possible place of elm
nation ought TO be imperstively maintained.
All foul clothing should be washed promptly,
or II very bad, disinfiaied OF burned. Such
precautions as these have proved to be capa-
bic Of essentially limiting and mitigating the
the prevalence Of epidemies

number Of negro families camPed out In the

Macksville, and II was safer to sleep in their
houses than in the open air.

rnr CHOLERA EXCITEMENT.
The news from Stanford which reached us
on Saturday evening lasi, caused grca, excite
ment IN our town, and for the drst time
aroused our citizens from that careless, don't
care" disposition regarding the filthy condi-
ti-n Of our streets, cellars, &c., and a meeting
was Immediately called by the Hon. Chair
man II the board Of Trustees, which was
largely attended by both black and white.
COMMITTEES were appointed, who faithfully
discharged their duty on next morning, re-
porting all places that needed cleansing and
disinfeciion. Since which time a general
cleansing up has taken place, and lime and
other disinfectants freely used, rendering our
town more pleasant both To the eye and nose.
The news Of last evening greatly allaycd
the excitement here, and but little fear is now
entertained of the great scourge reaching
Somerset. One safeguard TO our citizens is
this; We have no regular negro settlement
In or near our town. Those living here being
scattered generally over the town, many Of
whom have acted wisely and lcft for the coun-
try. Our colored race seem very much con-
cerned regarding the health Of the communi-
iy, and appear willing to render all needed as
-istance that they can.
OUR PAIR.
The Directory held meeting on yesterday,
and postponed indefinitely the holding Of our
Fair. Another meeting will be held on Sat-
urday next for more decisive action. The
probability Is that il will be held about the
LIST days Of October.

Judge NJ. III. sauhey and family reached
our town last evening and left for Monticello
this morning. The Judge tells US that he con-
templates returning home in few days.
We can blame no man who has family
for leaving any locality infected with the chol.
era, but ON the other hand, we think il duty
which he owes his family while he at the
same time favors the community, because the
fewer that remain the sooner will the dread
fatality have run its course.
REV. J. n. CURRENT,
Left our town on Friday morning last to at
tend the Conference Of the NJ. L. Church
