THE CHOLERA.

A dispatch from Marseilles, dated
July oath, says:-
There were ten deaths at Marseilles
last night; twenty at Toulon and thir-
ty-one deaths at Aries in two days.
The majority of the Inhabitants OF the
towns have fled.
At Marseilles there were sixteen
deaths from the cholera to-day be-
tween IL a. IN. and p. m. There
| were seven deaths to-day at Aries and
| three at Lavalette. -Four deaths oc-
Cured at Toulon between 10 9. IN. and
| 6 n. m. The condition of TOulOn is
greatly improved. Eighteen fresh
cases were admitted into the hospitals
there to-day. St. Mandrier hospital OF
| that city contains 122 cases, and only
| a few of them are serious.
The aspect here is becoming more
somber. One steamer only arrives
| weekly from Algeria, and the suppress
ed line 10 Syria is stopped. The South
| American packets have ceased to call
here. The custom offices and quays
are deserted. Many funerals occur
during the night, the burials being
| performed by the aid of lanterns. The
| mayor has interdieted the annual fair
and forbid the professions of August
Is. The official inquiry into the
deaths of twelve sisters Of charity and
Almoners of the nunnery, "Retraite."
showed that the last rites of the church
were performed yer the body of the
first sister, who became the victim to
the disease, and that neither the cloth
ing nor the cell of the deceased had
been disinfected.
1t is officially announced that the
cholera epidemic at Marseilles and
Paris is good.
At Marseilles at noon six deaths
from cholera had occurred since 9
o'clock. At Pharo hospital five died
and five were discharged, cured, since
last night. Eighty patients remain
in the hospital.

We have heard that there is talk in
some places, that the democrats of the
county will not vote for Judge X.
Ryland on account of his union record.
We do not believe any sensible man will
take such a stand as this. The union
democrats stood up manfully when the
majority of our people were disfran-
chised. While we do not take any
choice between the very worthy gentle
men who are candidates for probate
judge, we do d%enounce the loose way
of a few irresponsible persons casting
a reproach on the democracy of the
whole county.

The students of St. Petersburg re-
spectfully requested one of their num-
Der to poison a high police official, who
was his sw%eetheart's father. The stu
dent, rather than wound the feelings
of his betrothed by removing her faith
er, poisoned himself. Two letters
which he left to the young lady not
only told the story but exposed a plot
for the removal of the car. 1t now
becomes the painful duty Of the Russian
government to remove as many of the
late Students associates as may seem
compatible with the peace and good
order of the empire.

A citizen of Sparkers, N. Y, while

at Sharon Springs Intercepted the
