We have had some cholera here and a
big scare; !. E.; Cholera mania, lbgt all is
quiet now. Health is returning and we
hope the hegira will return. There were
two deaths from cholera last week, and
number of mild cases of cholera morbus,
but there has been no new cases for three
days, and all the sick are convalescing very
fast. There is no local cause for the dis
ease here, every case that we have had is

patients. The White Bluff hotel proposes
to accommodate all IN search of health,
whether they be sick o, well.

THE CHOLERA SCARE Az KNOX.
WILLIE

The Knoxville Press and Herald of the
Doth il St. says:
In regard to the case of K. II. Brown,
further investigation shows still more clear
ly that his disease was the immediate re-
suit of his imprudence. He was a corpu
lent man, weighing probably 225 pounds, of
free habits, and without much restraint. He
had eaten immoderately of vegetables and
fruits, had been unduly heated and drank
deeply of cold water. So that it is no won
der that his disease took on the symptoms
of ehoera, and developed into case of it.
The result of the days observa ions up to
this hour (I2 P. NJ has been that not q
case akin to cholera, has developed itself.
The death of child in North Knoxville,
from teefhing, is the only death we have
heard of and no disease of the bowels, of
sufficient degree to attract attention, has
come 10 cur hearing.

Plain Talk.

The Gallatin EIdnliner extra has the fol-
lowing piece plain talk:
The Good Boz ( assigns 'extortioner'' to
mighty hot quarters. We have some Of
them in hospitable Old Sumner. During
the prevalence of the cholera here our "a
tions have been wofully cut down. We are
beleagured by the pestilence and famine.
We have no butchers; there has not been a
piece of fresh meat in town in a week or
more. The supply Of chickens was ex-
haus.ed days ago. The gardens are useless.
Our lgrder consists of title bacon, a little
rice, -four, meal and coffee and tea. Rather
dry eating! The country people won't let
a Town man come within a hundred yards
OF bis house. Some of them even threat
ened to shoot one of our citizens who sought
to gather up few faggots, in the woods,
nearly mile from their house.
Now, we can comprehend this and, in q
great measure, excuse it upon the ground
of fright. But we hear of incidents of an
other character. Some of our citizens, in
the desperation of hunger, and getting
within hailiDg distance of country man,
propose 10 buy some bacon. They are
willing to sell it Ttoenty cents q ponld to
leave it up on the fence, or top of a gate
post (the price thereof to be left there by the
buyer) and go homs and thank God that
they are alive. We commend unto their
serious study the following:

RAYS of Hone.

A worthy young gentleman who has
given US no permission for the too free use
of his name in public way, is blessed or
troubled with an abiding faith in dreams,
not unmixed with some inclination to &C
cept as true the teachings of modernized
spiritualism. A few nights ago be dreamed,
or in sleepy thought imagined, what would
be the two most successful numbers in a
bigprize drawing to occur. He applied for
the run 'ers indicated, but was Informed
they had been sold. He bought the two
next to them, as the best to be done under
the circumstances. He also dreamed, or
thought be was informed by the spirit Of a
departed friend, that the prevailing sickness
would entirely disappear before the 4th of
July next 20 come. In this latter respect
at least, che strongly believes, we de-
youtly hope his information is entirely cor

To Those Who nouht.

A few incredulous persons are wondering
even at this late day whether the drawing
at Louisville on the Sth of July will be .
full one. Such persons certainly do not
read the papers. The statement has been
published in eve Y possible form, and the
certificate of their bank which holds the
money 10 trust for the ticlxe; LoIders, is full
and explicit. We repnbl.sh the certificate:
OFFICE OF FARMERS AND DRoVERs'
BANK, LOUISVILLE, KY, April Z, 1873 =
This is to certify that there is in the Far
mers' and Drovers' Bank, 10 the credit OF
the Third Grand Gift Concert, for the ben
eft Of the Public Library Of Kentucky, Eve
hundred thousand doll ire, which has been
set apart by the managers &c pay the gifts in
full, and will be held by the bank and paid
out for this purpose, aud this purpose only.
III. S. VEECH, Cashier.
This is plain as A. B. G. The money to
pay the gifts in full ($500, 000) is all in bank,
and both the management and bank are
solemulY pledged to full drawing on the
Sth Of July. ThosA who would foubt, al
ter such EVIDENCE as this, woQld rot believe

UntrathrnI Rumors.

About noon yesterday, various and high
ly exaggerated reports were circulated
through the city as to increasing sickness
and fatality among the people resident on
and adjacent to Fillmore street, or that
portion of Front street extending from
Franklin street to the corporation line, and
beyond for some distance on the Nashville
and Lebanon Turnpike. Careful inquiry
along the thoroughfare mentioned was made
by properly authorized persons, and dis
closed the fact that these wild rumors were
almost, if not entirely, without any founda-
ton in truth. From l0o'clock the previous
night to 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon but
two new cases of sickness similar to cholera
had occurred in that neighborhood, and it
was not thought that either you'd result in
death.

He replied provisions. The negro who was
q locker on, remarked, "You's rich, you no

The other said he didn't care if be was rich,
he had as much right to some such help as
anybody else. The old Captains eyes and
ears were open to all that was said, and you
better believe that darkey did not get
thing. These are OILY instances of what
is going on. We hear OF negroes With good
situations giving them up, because they
think it is a favorable to get provisions for
nothing.

A LADY in Paducah was recently awak-
ened from sound sleep by noise in her

see an immense fire bug performing eccen-
trio gyrations around the bed, accompanied
by noise which sounded altogether differ
ent from that made by any insect she had
ever seen. She was startled at first, but
soon recovering, she watched her oppotu-
nifty and made sudden grab
at the large brilliant star as it APP
preached. She caught something and held
on to it, while at the same moment the IA
