THR cholera has now ragged in Munich
eight months, to the great despair oI
hotel'keepers and business men generally,
who have kept open their establishments
at q rulnous loss. The number Of deaths
has been enormous, but Is now on the de-
crease. Not a single new discovery has
been made as TO the real nature OF the dis
ease, Its prevention or cure, except thai
the close connection Of Its spread with
peculiari.les Of the soil seems to be estab
Iished in even more intimate way thar
has been hitherto supposed.

RIAL ETATR.-The Cincinnati Daily
Tines in speaking Of the prospects for
real estate in that city says that "the
promises Of trade are better than they
have been for years, indicating an activity
in investment almost without a precc-
dent" 1t remarks that "the recent panic
has created such ieverlsh feeling with
capital invested in bonds and stocks that
mOnled men, who, for the past ten years
have declined to purchase real estate be-
cause other interests bore greater pre-
miums, are now Withdrawing capital
from them and seeking both improved
and unimproved property"

wood did not hear 1t. 1t was not only
interesting, but instructive, and calculated
to do good. There were several points In
1t worthy Of our serious attention, es-
pecially the training Of children. Mr.
Tuttle appeals TO teachers and parents u
develop the moral aB well as the
mental and physical. We think the moral
training of the young too much ignored,
and thus we have stealing, lying, swear
ing and drunkenness as the result. The
lecturer pointed out the true and false In
human character, and how to restrain the
false and cultivate the true.
Other points in his address might be
given, but let this brief notice suffice. Al
literary production 1t was chaste and

The financial discussion was not re-
sumed yesterday in the U. 8. Senate, and
there Is nc telling when the subject will
come up for final action. And even when
ii does come up there Is NO certainty that
bill either for contraction or expansion
can pass that body, 80 evenly divided Is
il between the two views. Why cannot
the whole discussion, therefore, be accom-.
modated by declaratory resolution on
the part Of both houses setting forth that
nssmuch as ireconcilable views, in
consequence Of conflicting interests,
prevail throughout the country on
the subject Of our finances, that there.
lore It is the sense Of Congress
that no action whatever should be taken
On the question, but, on the contrary, that
the volume Of currency should be lett just
as 1t Is now, and that for twelve months
TO come the Secretary oI tho Treasury
shall have no power to dCrauge the cir
culation Of the country by any action on
hIs part further than to sell gold when he
needs currency for the actual expenditures
oftbe government. Such action on the
part of Congress would come as near Civ.
Ing satisfaction to the conflicting views Of
sill parties as any that they are likely to
take after delaying decision for months

The Farmers Friend.

The Agricultural Insurance Go. of Wa tertown has attained it's majority. From it's start to the present time its career has been uniformly successful. During the first ten years no efforts were made to ex- tend its business beyond it's own and few adjoining counties. In 1863 it's entire as. sets were less than $96, ,Oo0. .00, and at the close of 1874 they figure up the grand to- tai of $S24, ,0O0.00. During these twenty one years the company has paid in losses $1, ,272, 4S0.00, yet has msoer insured, or lost, dollar on any but farm pro perty and private residences and their contents, and never lost 1000 by any one fire, sweeping or otherwise. The sweeping fires of the last few years, destroying millions ot dol lars worth of property, and rendering worthless thousands of Policies upon the homes of our people, are convincing proofs of the wisdom of the "Agricu ltu. ral's" plan of separating dwelings and farm property from business hazards. To farmers and owners of dwellings these facts are of importance, and when to them may be added, that the Policy of the 'Ag- riculturaf can be had for Jess rate than that charged by companies doing general business, what man will hesitate to place his insurance with company which a6so- lutcly cannot fall in which there is a0 oA0nce for an assessment, and which for generation has so ably demonstrated its ability to not only meet it's liabilities, but roll up so handsome a surplus.

His wife sailed from the city last Saturday to Belgium where her husband is located Y; living in fine style without the fear of a acquisition. I met yesterday the well konwn secretary of the Dartmouth graduates of this city He is a sight to behold. His face is awfulIy scared and burned and the sight of one of his eyes destroyed He owes this mutilation to his jealous attempt to bring Genet to justice. Some miscreant met him at night in Harlem, threw vitrol over him and thus permanently disfigured him.

DEAR SIR.-As you do not seem to have correspondent at Huntsville, thought perhaps few news items might be accept able. Things move on after the old sort, our merchant and his assistant being the only busy ones...... Ensign & Son stopped work in their wooien mill about the frs: of January. Uncle John refused to keep a traveller the other night because the town will not give him license to sell rum...... MT. Henry Loomis gave party Thurs day evening. the 18th ult. All had jolly good time, as all will agree who were there. The other cold and clustering Sabbath evening, as Farmer B., his family and a couple of friends of the family, were quietly enjoying the genial warmth of good wood fire, the soot in the chim- ney caught fire, which caused sensation in the usually quiet family circle, and a speedy clearing of the kitchen was the re- suit, but the timely exertions of the before mentioned friends, in throwing water down the chimney and salt in the stove, soon overcame the monster and proved the truth of the old saw, that "A friend in need is friend indeed '......We talk of starting fire company, and have conclud. ed to go the to Falls for foreman and to Lime Book for first assistant.

SharOn.

The town meeting week or two since, ing out a new road in the village, was in deed very spi1Sted one; in more senses than one. Mir. Brickman Bartram seemed to be the head-grand-center of the move ment, and like everything he attempts to do, was done thoroughly and well. There is not a man in Sharon, who would have the audacity to assert for moment, that whlskey was employed to swell the major ity to the very slZable dimensions made manifest at the counting of the votes. By no means such talk is alaOays trash The result of this meeting was quite satisfacto- rY to the majority of the better class of our citizens, and MT. Bartram bears the honors of the triumph with that modesty always allied to true greatness. Perhaps the real worth and esteem in which Mr B. is held by all classes, for his enterprise in pushing to successful cousummatlon, all matters of public interest, cannot better be expressed, than by one of the Irish citi- zens, who from the honesty of his heart exclaimed: If Neut Bartram moved out of Sharon; be Jabbers, I'd go too, as il would be poor place to live in, after that ....Deacon Woodward, not willing longer to grope in darkness, has erected a very fine lamp in front of his store, and in the absence of better place to put it, has attached it to one of his horse posts. This position, of course, is only temporary. As soon as the lamp brigade arrives on the ground, on its mission of erecting posts for the new street lamps soon to be seen along our streets, better, and perhaps more dignified, support will be provided. Agnes Daly, young lady of abe ut fifteen years Of age, died very suddenly last Thursday night. She retired to her bed apparently enjoying very good health, and about ten o'clock was heard to utter 8 scream. Her people hastened to her room where they found her in convulsions. Sue fingered but short time, and expired be fore morning. The cause of her death was pronounced heart disease.

EVERY SATURDAY has recently added to its attractions an editorial department, which occupies the two last pages of the paper, and is sprightly and well conducted. College men will find plenty of food for thought in the leading article in this week s number. Chef among the papers now being published is Far From the Maudling Crowd, novel, which, despite its cum brous title, is of great power and interest. The hand of a master is evident in it, and it is quite probable that some one of Eng lands great novelsts is trying to puzzle the critics. The style of work is curi- ous mixture of George Eliot and Bulwer, and betokens, if it be by new writer, the hitherto unknown existence of a novelist not far inferior to the prince of the tribe, Thackeray himself. A number of light stories and essays complete the current number, which is further worthy of note as containing an elaborate explanation of the old game of ombre.

train arrived in Burlington, he sprang from it with the sprightliness of youth of nine teen, and casting his eye about and among the crowds there assembled, scanning this one and now that; going from one end of the depot to the other; dodging inside, through the ladies' room out and clear around the whole building, and down again through the crowds, when he was heard to exclaim, She isn't here! she cant be. or should have seen her! Fully per suaded Ill his own mind that the lateness of the train had caused her to forego her determination to start on the trip that day, he shot off down street with the fleetncss of deer, and fortunately coming upon 6 friend who had been initiated into the mys teries of the days proceedings, was in formed that she was on the train, and er- pected to fnd Ain, MsTe! Up the street he went again, ''like shot off shovel and arrived at the depot just in time to-see the train pufing vigorously half mile away. This was getting to be too much for any one man to bear. Up and down the steps he paced with head down, utter, ly unable to decide what course he could pursue, seeing the utter hopelessness ot pursuing her. on foot, at least. Sudden ly thought struck him smack right in the face, and with countenance radiant with hope, he flew into the telegraph office, and bade the lightning hasten to Van Deusen- vile and tell her to leave the train there, and he would come at once. * A horse from the livery was soon on its way to Van Deusenville, bearing our hero with all possible haste. Arriving at the depot in that village, with the steam from the body of the noble steed, making the almos phere dense as Il London fog, he quickly alighted and skipping into the telegraph office, found-that his telegram didn't ar rive till after the tram had passed that sta tion!
