The CHOLERA I'M JAPAN.

The Paris Temps gives some par.
s,icnlars of the ravages of cholera in
Japan. The epidemic appeared last
April in the district of Ehime, where
the tombs of soldiers who fell vic.
tins to it in 1877 had been opened
partly for religious rites and partly
for the more becoming interment oi
men hastily buried during the war.
In week forty-five ont of sixty Ave
cases proved fatal. It extended to
other points. and at Osaka it is not
uncommon to see persons fall down
in the streets, struck by it. In. July
it was reported at Toxic, the capitol.
and also at Yokohama and in some
western towns the epidemic assumed
formidable proportions. Upte Aug.
4 the total number of cases of cisol
era throughout Japan was 76, ,58s, oi
which 4 ,915 had proved fatal, 8 ,7ss
had recovered, and the remainder
were still under treatment. Up to
the end of September the numbe1
had reached loo, 600. The Governs
naent has exerted itself to the utmost
by est abiishing hospitals, forbidding
the sale Of unripe fruit (which the
Japanese are accustomed to eatl and
quarantine regulations. These last
were disregard ded BY foreign. vessels,
and the result is that the cholera has
extended every where, 50. that there

A resolution, prohibiting the Issuing of
any license at Fair of 1880, for the sale of
lager beer, was passed by strong vote, af
ter long discussion. In order that the
general public may understand the reasons,
other than those of moral nature which
induced this action for the protection of the
Society, ON the part of the Managers, it has
been thought best to make a statment.
No license for the sale of Intoxicating
drinks, other than lager beer, was ever Civ
en- by the Society, though they have several
times refused from 81 900 l,500 for the
privilege. Under the present Statute, the
Society can grant no exclusive privileges,
nor is there any law to enforce its rights, or
compel an observance of its rules, in such
way as to make them Immediately effective.
The abuse of the lager beer license in the
past two years, every officer of the Society
understands and it has at last come to be an
intolerable nuisance, as well as a matter of
gross injustice to those who have paid their
license promptly. The Society has for years
suffered from evils it has been powerless to
prevent, and has determined that, until law
can be enacted which will afford it suitable
protection, no license for lager beer shall be
granted, nor shall any drinks of an intoxi-
eating character be sold on the grounds. A
committee was appointed to prepare-with
the advice and counsel of the best legal au
thority-a bill for presentation at the ses-
sion of the Legislature of 1850, giving suit
able protection to the Society in the enforce
ment of all its rules and regulations.

Arlington hotel, Washington city, on

choosing chairman in the place of

of the committee. it is claimed by

FROM DOUGLAS COUNTY.

ED. GAZETTE: I wish to express in this
letter to you, my respect for the GAZETTE,
for do consider it one of the purest and
best secular county papers in the state, and
it always receives a welcome in my house.
Well, | have been in the saddle again,
from Drains to Elkton, thence to SCOTS
burg
Scottsburg is small village of about fifty
inhabitants. 1t has two stores, one saloon,
a tavern, warehouse and a grist mill. 1t
presents but little business or enterprise.
There is no church building OF church or
ganization in it. There is, however, an old,
dilapidated school house. This place is at
the head of tide, on the Umpqua bay.
There is no wagon road from here to the
mouth, nor can there be one. The shore is
lined with rugged mountains, towering UP
almost perpendicular, from one to two thou
sand feet high took steamer passage here
for Gardiner 20 miles distant. The scenery
all the way is wild and romantic.
Gardiner is village of about one hun
dred and fifty inhabitants. 1t boasts of two
stores, four saloons, but no church building
or organization. The school house serves
for chuch building. Tt has Masonic hall
over the school room. This is a numbering
town: there are two large sawmills here,
and nearly all the inhabitants are interested
in them. These mills do an immense bust
ness This place is ten miles above the
mouth of the bay. From here | started for
home again, for a heavy storm of rain made
me apprehensive about high water. suc-
ceeded inreaching Elkton, and there my
progress was intercepted by the food having
carried away all the bridges on my route,
two of which must have cost Douglas coun-
ty from six to eight thousand dollars.
The roads are torn to pieces, and the
bridges gone, all over this country, SO that
travel, except by railroad is suspended.
My only chance, therefore to get home, was
to secure a guide to take me across the noun
tain trail to the railroad. We started at
daylight, and for three hours it was up
and down one steep spur after another.
Then we started up the steepest spur of the
OdllpOolt HlOullDdlIS. "a very COnSluefdDl0
part of the way we could not ride. would
start my pony upi the trail, having hold of
his halter and tail, tnow, Mr.. Editor, don't
laugh, for it was serious matter to mel,
and in this manner we got to the top of
the mountain. After travelling, as we
thought, about twenty miles, we commenced
the descent, and this was more tedious,
hard and dangerous than the ascent. But
we hnally reached the railroad, and found
ourselves about nine miles from Drains /;
but our way was then an open road, and we
brought up at Drains by night.
In Drains half of the families had to
move out of their houses, the food was SO
high in Pass creek. So you see that others
have had trouble besides the poor wayfarer.
