'sThere have been only two deaths during
the two days past of cholera, and none to-
day. People are looking cheerful, and l
doubt not will invite their absent friends to
join them in a few days"
The GAINESVILLE Chron;cLe of the Sssh has
the following There has been an Unusual
predispositicn to bowel aft ctions, and the
use OF early fruits and vegetables de-
/ veloped cases of cholera-morbus to an I'M
usual extent, and have been fatal in some
instances, but such have not been reported
to u.s. AT this time the tendency is to lux
rather than cholera, though we have heard
OF no case OF the former that has progressed
| beyond the p emonitory symptoms. If
| there Is Cholera here we don't know 1t; If
| there were, We would not hesitate to say
| so.
We give below all the cases we have any
| reliable information about b wing any symp-
| toms of cholera:
Mr.. Henry Wall, who resided at the ferry
three miles south Of the city, left home last
Saturday evening, his bowels somewhat dis
| ordered, he travelled for sometime through
the hot sun, stopped at Mr. Charles Merri-
wethers and drank freely of ice water, then
proceeded to Mr.. 10. Hacher's, near Tren-
ton, KY, and died next day.
10. Martin, eolored, who lived near Steel's
Station, in this county, was cutting wheat
last Friday week, and was, as it is termed,
running race with the othtr harvesters,
got oVerheated, eat lot of plums, was taken
sick at 2 O'Clock Saturday morning, and died
about 10 O'Clock same evening.
Last Tuesday m Tning three smen ar
rived at the passenger depot upon the con-
struction train to get their pay Mr.. o.
burn, the fireman, and two negroes. 1t is
reported that they INDUCED in eating oys-
tiers and drinking whisky to excess, which
produced cholera mOr6us or symptoms of
cholera. The white man, Mr.. Osburn, was
sent to bis home at Erin, and has since
died. The negroes under treatment of DR..
Johnston, one is recovering, and the other
died Thursday night.
Another negro man named Patrick Bell,
cook on the work train, was taken sick at
Budd's Creek bridge, and brought here late
Thursday evening, and died that night.
DR.. Greenfield has a patient, a negro
man, who was brought here on the train,
who was reported TO have cholera. DR.. G..
pronounces the disease a clearly marked
case of congestive fever, and the prospects
Cup to this writing, Thursday, were that
he would recover.
at Palmyra, on the 10Th inst, two deaths
oc3urred-Miss Pattie Eldridge, daughter
of DIR. Eldridge, and Mrs. Alkaline Ramey,
relict of the late AosoIem Ramey, and
their disease was pronounced cholera.
Both died in a few hours after being at
tackled.
Whether these cases were cholera, we
cannot state, rs we have no statements
concerning them from the physicians at
tending them.
We md the following letter from Greene
vile published in the Knoxville Chronicle:
GREENEvILLE, June 2S-7 p. M.--Our
beautiful little town is turned into 4 place
of death and mourning. This evening" it
presents an appearance of desertiou, and
the few who remain lock more dead than
alive. Only four stores are open and en-
gagged in dealing out TO the people the nee
essaries of life. The drug store of Spencer
& Brown is closed, Dotn of the owners
being iGcapacitated for further labor. One
of the undertakers' shops is also closed.
THE DEATHS TODAY.
This morning at one o'clock, Mr.. Moore
head died. He fingered longer than was ex-
pected By his friends and family.
Last night Mrs. Farnsworth, mother-in-
law of Col. j. G. Reeves, was attacked vic
lently. She suffered throughout the night
and expired at 7:45 A. NJ.
THE SICK.
a number of those reported yesterday
have shown but few faYora bic SYMPTOMS
since.
Hiram Lemine, nea- 20 IN, was attacked
in most violent manner, this morning a.
10 O'Clock, while harvesting in his wheat
field. He is now dying. he is an aged
man, and one of extreme recklessness
in his personal habits. lis has had diar-
rhea for eight days, but persisted in eat
ing vegetables of every kind, and finally
new honey. He was in town yesterday,
laughing and joking over the cholera, de-
claring there was none in the town.
James A. Lane, cOmpositor in the Ma
tiorGl Union office, has severe attack
but will doubtless recover.
A negro woman at the Godfrey House
lies st deaths door ana may not survive
another hour.
Another colored woman, left in charge of
Charlie Marsh's house, is in dying con-
ditioD. There is no one to give her atten-
ton save cOlored man hired for the par
pose.
Two other colored parties are given
up as hppeless-nsmes not now remem-
bered. .-
Mrs. E Without was stricken Just an
hour ago with violent type of the disease.
She is easier now.
Ex-President johnson is troubled with
the premonitory symptoms, bat gave him
self early treatment. He is still about and
better this evening.
Thos Lane, ST., one of our Oldest mer-
chants, is threatened seriously this eve
ming.
Mrs. Weathers, n;ec8 of Mr.. Morehead, |
who died last night, is also down with an |
attack which came upon her this afternoon. |
| have not learned her condition Within |
the hour.
A SAD, SAD STORY.
No one who is not here to see and feel |
the influence of the scene of suffering and
its commingled horrors can have an idea of /
our condition. Over seventy families have
left the place, and but handful remain of |
these who are able to go. That portion of |
,ur population, the poor and the negroes,
" DO had no means to 90 upon and no place |
% 70 to, mako up our entire population,
almost, at present. The suffering is in
ense among them. They want
bread and meat almost as u
.ently as they do medicines aud treatment.
Col. Mckee, Geo. Jones, W. p. & J. G.
Hawkins, wi th two or three others, have
lone all that Christian and charita ble men
,ould do; buy ug medicines, provisions and
hiring help. B ut they re unable to supply
Ill. Aud it doe s seem range to us, who
ire left with thes,1 suffering human beings,
md unable 10 hei Q them, how our neigh
,ers, who can sympathize so generously
md contribute 50 literally to the healthy
,icsims of "Bostop fire." can also pass
,allously by and offer nothing to the af-
iicted and dying o; their own State and
ec.ion.
s'Alas for the rarity
OF human charity
