MADRID, June 16.--In the province Of
Castelleon de Ia Plana, yesterday, there were
so cases Of cholera and go deaths. Thirty
thousand people have fed from Marcia ow-
ing to the terrible dread Of the disease
which has taken possession of the people. In
the city of Marcia alone yesterday there
were, according to the latest reports, "a new
cases of cholera and 80 deaths. In the prov
ince of Marcia, outside Of the city, there
were 80 cases Of cholera and 10 deaths
within the same period. The Official Gazette
confirms the statement that the cholera Is
raging in the provinces Of Valencia, Cas-
telleon de Ia Plana, and Marcia, and In the
city of Madrid. The opposition newspapers,
on the contrary, deny that the cholera exists
In Madrid, and say that all the testimony
regarding the suspicious cases Is insufficient
to give warrant for the assertion that they
are cases Of cholera.

THE Husbandman doubts the practicable
ity OF change Of time for holding the Terri
torisl Fair to the month Of August, instead
OF q fall month. BY August the crops are
not matured and farmers are In the midst Of
hay harvest. 1t Is q most inopportune time
for them. The Fair Association, which has
been In bad luck for weather, is lodging
around the calendar endeavoring TO catch .
better spell, but the date selected for this
year practically reduces the Fair to aseries
of Horse Races. True, that has been Its
principal Characteristic hitherto, but this
date will tend 10 render II more exclusively
aRacing Meeting. II might not be bad idea
TO have two meetings-one especially for
Racing, another later In the season for such
purposes Is the name Of the Association in
dicates, with trials for young horses, and
one race day OF choice horses.

WHEN the Washington monument was In

GRANT.
BY t. q. HARRAUGH.

1t seemed to me that yesternight
heard the branches signing
Beneath my wiadew, soft and low:
"The great war chief is dying!"
His marches Ger, his battles won,
His bright sword sheathed forever,
The grand old soldier stands beside
The dark and silent river;
While fame for him a chaplet weaves
Within her fairest bowers,
OF Shiloks never-fading leaves,
And Donaldson's bright flowers;
Grim Vicksburg gives crimson rose,
Embalmed in deathless story,
And Appomattox adds a star
To crown the wreath of glory.
He's dying now!-the Angel Death.
Insatiate and impartial,
With icy fingers, stosps to touch
The Unions old field marshal,
Who, like soldier brave, awaits
The summons so appalling,
While DER the land, from sea to sea,
The silent tear is falling.
Still in his veterans hearts to-day
His battle drums are beating;
His bugles always blew advance
With him was no retreating;
And tenderly, with moistened eye,
Columbia bends above him,
And everywhere the Borrowing heart
Tells how the people love him.
From golden-fruited orange groves
To where the pines are signing,
The winds watt messages of love
To Grant, the hero, dying.
The old world sends across the wave
A token of its sorrow;
The greatest chief alive to-day
May fall asleep tomorrow.
o touch the hero gently, Death !
The land is filed with weeping,
And he is passing like a child
The counterfeit of sleeping.
Around their dying brother;
The mighty world knows but one Grant
IT will never know another.
So let him die with honors crowned
To live fore'er in story;
The fields he won, the land he saved,
Will be his lasting glory.
. mighty Ajax of the North
Old field marshal immortal!
My saddened hearts with thee to-day
Before the darkened portal.
listened to the winds last night
Hsw mournful was their signing
1t seemed to me nations sobs
OYER Grant, the soldier, dying.
o touch him, touch him softly, Death
Insatiate and impartial;
He is the Unions mightiest chief

ports of deposits and quarterly accounts, as
required by the Third Assistant Postmaster

The department desires the announcement
to come To the knowledge Of oil postmaster
