CINCINNATI, May 20, 1873.
There was a sensation produced here this alter
noon by the official announcement OF DR.. William
Clendenn, Health Officer Of this CITY, that cpl
demc cholera of the unmistakabe Asiatic type
has appeared In New Orleans This statement was
verified by an Official transcript OF the mortuary
report of New Orleans for the week ending May
10, showing the number OF deaths rom that cause
to be eleven The Health Ollcer warns the citizens
ty use every precautlon OF cleanliness OF person
and dwelling to guard against the disease, remind
ing them that the great epidemic OF 1s49 trans
mitted to this city from New Orleans by passengers
on the steamboats,.
John Schenck, noted cattle breeder OF this
county, took the disease IN New Orleans last week
and died on the steamer on the passage up day
before yesterday. His corpse arrived to-day. The
New orleans papers have never mentioned the fact
that cholera IS In the city, although 1t has been
ravaging the plantations on the Lower Mississippi
for three or four weeks past and Is now so alarm
ing the city as to AFFECT It's business interests.
