The daily newspapers of the coun-
Try note the gratifying intelligence OF
the abatement Of cholera in the various
cities where it has been prevailing for
some time. Ia Nashville and Memphis,
where it developed in its most virulent
type. the number of deaths daily have
diminished more than one half Louis
vile, and other cities, thus far have
been comparatively exempt from its
ravages. Every indication is that the
progress of the disease is checked so
far as it may appear in general form.
The eastern cities have entirely escaped,
which can doubtless bo attributed to
the prompt sanitary measures that they
have taken.
II Memphis and Nashville the chol-
era is rapidly on the decrease, evident
ly having spentit force. The accounts
from Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Louis
vile, lead US to fear it will prevail in
these cities.

The general prospect for crops in

an average crop.

cat leapsd upon wall, and, with swol

challenge, and bolt of lightning
struck at the cats tail, who only turn
