american from Vienna, under date OF
July 18th:
The cholera Is making It's appearance
iu the suburbs Of Vienna, and there are
dozen or more cases reported daily.
There Is no evidence yet, however, OF its
being likely 10 become an epidemic, and
the greatest efforts arc being made to
check it. There have been some cases
in the hotels, but they were parties who
came from Turkey, where Il is prevailing

The BURNING OF BELLS FOUNDRY
The fire last night, detailed In our local
columns, was the first that has occurred
III the city for several months. MesarS.
BELL & Co., the sufferers, have the sym
psthy OF the community. They had at
grest expense got their establishment
6lted up in the completest manner, with
extensive machinery and large stock Of
patterns, and were turning out work very
rapidly TO supply their large and rapidly
growing trade. This Gre totally destroys
the most valuable part Of their establish
ment and indicts direct loss which they
estimate at So5,OOO, against which there
was but $4,000 insurance, In Wheeling
companies. The loss will really be much
greater than this, becshae they suffer by
tho interruption to their fourishfDg fall
trade. We trust and expect, however,
that this interruption will be but brief,
and presume 1t will not be long till these
gentlemen will be rebuilt and driving
away again as busy as ever.

mercilessly in mid air, and then sat down

intend giving up the ghost 80 rapidly, for
he clung TO the rope tenaciously, aud
struggled violently 10 free himself. Al

monster, he determined to expedite mat
ters, and started 10 a house. near BY to
borrow an axe with which to cut of the
victims head. The neighbor, learning
what the axe was wanted for, alarmed
the neighborhoOd, and among them the
victims mother; and they all rushed TO
