The Cholera in Europe.

Dispatches on Thursday night say that
cholera is reported in Berlin, despite the rlgld
measures to prevent its Introduction. Inc
excitement at Antwerp, Belgium, over the
official acknowledgment Of the presence OF
the scourage continues, and those residents
who can afford it are preparing to leave the
city One fourth of all the persons suffering
from cholera removed to the hospitals in Ant
werp have died. The disease is spreading in
ST. Petersburg, but it is less fatal, owing to
better medical service and arrangements for
the treatment of the patients. In Hamburg
the situation is distressing, and it is reported
that 1863 dead bodies of victims are unburled,
the terror being so great that it IS difficult to
get men for the work of burying the dead.
The London authorities are making ready to
insolate all cases that may be introduced,
and inspectors have been sent to the chief
English ports with full authority to use all the
means short of quarantine to exclude the
disease 1t is officially reported that thirteen
deaths occurred at Havre, France, on Wed

grants from ali European and Asiatic ports
should be disinfected New York and Phila

protect those ports. The Hamburg American
Packet Company announces that it will for
ward immigrants on ships separate from first
and second class passengers, and that the ex-

A Battle Near waraeldsburk.

Reported fOr tne DeulOciatlC SAu'OSaee'I
At the festival held last Saturday, under
the auspices of the Church of God, the crowd
in attendance had the very good fortune to
witness SHAM battle. The Linganore
Guards were on the field and after an ex-
ceedingy pleasing drill, were divided into
detachments, one of which marched to the
extreme limit of the field in which they were
assembled. We give an account of the battle
in the words of am eye witness. We were
present ourselves but think the. other party
described the event much better than we can,
so we quote his words.
''For few moments all was still, and the
crowd, which numbered about one thousand,
waited with breathless expectation. Sud.
denly the silence was broken by the crash of
musketry; soon the field was filled with smoke,
which, clearing away, showed Uncle Sans
gallant men engaged in desperate strife
This skirmish was soon over, and the men
moved slowly, but fearlessly. up the hill for
the purpose of attacking the party upon its
summit. The latter remained quiet, the men
in as comfortable attitude as possible. This
was more than the attacking party could
stand, so they wheeled and drew off in good
order, and the bloodless battle of Warfelds-
burg was at an end.

Quite an excitement was created in the
village of Roseville the past week. A dog
supposed to have been rabid passed through
the place on Sunday morning, visiting alto.
gether about dozen houses, biting cats and
dogs and one child, a little son OF Jacob 7.
Sellers. The dog was afterward found to be
that of Mr.. Samuel Zepp, and had showed
some symptoms of hydrophobia on Friday,
and bit his little grandson, Luther Yingling,
and four pigs. The dog was then chained
up until Sunday morning, when Mr.. Iepp,
not believing the dog to be mad, let him loose.
After being let loose he left the premises and
was travelling until about II o'clock, when he
was killed by Charles Cleffier and his son
George. The places at which the dog was
seen are: Henry Zimmerman's, John Ru,
by's, Jacob Sellers, David j. Leister's, John
T. Albaugh's S, John Leister's Chas. Cletfier's,
Adam Wink's, John Plowman's S, James A.
Leister's and John Delfs. Nearly all of the
dogs bitten have been killed. The two chill
dren have been examined and treated by the
Westminster physicians. The doctors are
unable to fully decide whether the dog was
really rabid or not, but the general impress
sion is that it was.
Geo. E. Lippy, of Westminster, an en-
ploye at the custom house, of Baltimore, Wis
tied his cousin, Mrs. Harry Matthias. on Sun
day. He attended church at Testers and as
he was ready to go home his horse started as
he was stepping into his buggy, throwing him
between the wheels and dragging him some
distance. Fortunately he held on to the lines
and drew the horse up to the grave yard fence
and between the hitching posts, causing him
to stop. He narrowly escaped a serious ac-
cident.
