CHOLERA NOTES.

From the Knoxville Press end Herald, Aug. 10.
We learned yesterday from passenger
on the down noon train, that when he pass
ed J0nesboro he made diligent inquiry
about the cholera, aCd was reliably inform
ed that only two cases remain, and they are
in 4 mild form. The citizens sre fast re-
turning, and in few days no traces Of the
fearful scourge will remain. Capt. Sewer
will reopen bis widely known hotel st the
depot this week, aud thereafter trains will
take their usual meals with him.
Along the line Of railroad n . cases worthy
of mention have occurred. The people are
quiet, and the cholera topic is being
dropped.
In our city, We have most favorable re-
port. From conversations with different
parties yesterday, We we're unable 20 even
hear of a case of cholera anywhere in or
near the corporate limits. This is encOura-
ging and we hope the last fatal case has
been recorded.
From the Knoxville Chronicle, Aug. Is.
From the mail agent ON the eastern
train, We learn that Robert Shell, son Of the
man who died few days since OF cholera
at Carter's Station, is down with that DIS
ease, and several others within mile Ofthe
place. In fact they are expecting the dread
scourge to break out there ia an epidemic
form, as there is scarcely a person IN that
neighborkood who does not feel the premOn.
tory symptoms.
One of the section hands st McMilan's
Station was taken down at four O'Clock this
morning, and By noon was considered TO be
in a critical condition.
From q private letter received By gen.
tleman in this city, We learn that the "pre-
vailing" has made considerable havoc at
Thorn Hill. some nine deaths having &C.
CURED since it first made its appearance in
that nejghborhqod, about two weeks ago.
The first victim to the disease was a man
who got terribly frightened at Tate Springs,
and crank very hard for some time. II has
been pretty well mastered by this time, and
no new cases are reported.
From the Dover Record, Aug. Is.
There has been no death at Erin since
Friday last. The disease has disappeared,
but from Tuesday up to Friday night there
was eleven deaths, seven OF which were
white and four colored.
From the Clarksville Chronicle, Aug. lG
From reliable information we are led to
infer that the return of cholera at Erin, was
on account of a local cause snd not as an ep-
idemic, Some six or seven negro men were
engaged in digging out the accumulation OF
leaves, etc, in the creek 1t that point, which
emitted such disagreeable odor az to make
all sick who were engaged in the work. We
also learn that this water containing this re-
fuse matter ran into Mr.. Boon's spring, and |
that all who drank from the spr.Dg have |
sick8ned and Gied. All the negroes engaged |
in cleansing the creek have died save one,
Ned Eldriige, who was brought here in a
state on Thursday OF last week,
and placed under treatment of DR.. SWtft.
We learn that he was able to sit up and eat
asst Wednesday, and is in fair way to get

Somewhat SURPRISED.

1t happened in front of a livery stable on
Market street. A phianthropic small boy,
with industrious Instincts, was busily en-
gagged in manipulating, with skillful (and
dirty hand, long line Of hose through
which 4 stream Of water was passing in a
lively sort of way. The ostensible DOR.
pose the small boy had in view was a thor
ough drenchipg Of the sidewalk, gutter and
other stationary objects in that immediate
vicinity, while his real object was to CRAFTY
that passion to wrestle with water in some
way, which finds lodgment In every bows
breast.
While thus engaged, the quick eye of the
small boy Che had a pair of eyes, but it
sounds better TO mention but one
in this connection, discovered buggy Just
approaching the stable, when, quick IS
thought, he turned the nozzle of the hose
in the opposite direction, and threw a two
inch stream of water full in the manly b.
som Of nicely dressed youth, who was
topping daintily across thu street just at
that moment. The youth was surprised,
as Was elso bis Immaculate shirt-front. In
fact, the latter was so overcome with IS
tonlshment, that it Wilted at once, and sew
ersl days will probably elapse before it en-
tirely RECEIVERS from the effects of that little
episode. Meanwhile, the small boy still
lives.

"reminiscences for the Washington Chroni-
Gle. Focte once fought duel with the
Gel .brated lawyer S. S. Prentiss, near
Vicks5urg, Miss. IA had taken umbrage
at Prentiss for somethin or other, and had
sent him challenge, which the latter, be-
ing Northern man, accepted; having made
a resolution TO accommodate, down there,
in that way, everybody who insisted on sat-
isfEction. A number of persons had gone
out of town to see the fight; among them
small boy who had climbed into tree for
The sake Of having better view.
Foote always was VIGOROUSLY bad shot,
AM, at the first fire his bullet flew wild of
his antagonist. While the seconds were
loading the pistols for a second fire, Prem
tiss, observing the boy in the tree, called
cut: YOU'D better come down from there,
my lad! My friend and learned colleague
is shooting very wildly this morning, and
you may get hit up here" This produced
so much merrin ent and so much good feel
ing, that, after the next fire Foote declared
himself satisfied; shook bands cordially
with his adversary, and they returned to

Edgefeld daIkies are evidently Of the
opinion That chicken, as an article Of food,
is good enough for them. At sny rate they
are making frequent visits TO the hen houses
of the residents ''on the other Shore" dur
log the silly hours of the night, and tkey
usually persuade few of the fowls occupy
ing said hen houses, to accompany them
WHEN they take their departure. But not
always, Yesterday morning fair haired
youth who resides in Edgefeld, heard ter
rihle connection among his fathers chick
ers, and saw couple of darkies moving
cautiously about the premises. He took q
loaded revolver, stole qHie.ly out toward
the chicken house, pointed it at a moving
figure, closed his eyes, breathed a silent
prayer, pulled trigger, and when the smoke
of the five shots had cleared away, found
that he had klled-nOthing. But he warns
Edgefeld chicken theses that he is not 60
ing to clOsa his ewes next time
