In 1882, cholera came to America at Quebec, in five ships from London, Liv- erpool, Cork, Limerick and Dublin. In lS4S, the disease reached this country again, ships from France taking it to New York and co New Orleans. Reach ing the latter city on December II, by the 20th it had touched Memphis. Re maining partly quiescent till Spring, it spread over the Mississippi valley and to California. In 1854, some immigrant ships again brought the scourge. It ex- tended over part of the United States and Canada. The fourth epidemic that reached this country left Bengal in 1862-3. Carried from Bombay to the shores of the Red sea by pilgrims, it broke out among the pilgrims at Mecca in December, 1864. Returning pilgrims carried it to Egypt. It broke out at Alexandria in May, 1865, whence it was carried to Europe. In 1866, it reached Halifax and New York, from which places it spread. We were threatened during the outbreak which began in France in 1884, as in the Autumn of 1887 it was brought to New York on some French steamer from Marseilles which had taken on emigrants at Naples, but efficient sanitary measures saved the country.

The Cholera Germ.

The cause of cholera is a minute germ
 or bacterium, which enters the body by
 way of the ailmentary canal and is pro-
 pagated in the intestines. Koch, who
 discovered the bacillus of tuberculosis
 and who has indicated by his marvellous
 methods of experiment and research the
 direction in which to look for cure of
 consumption, was sent by the German
 government in 1883 to India to investi-
 gate the cholera epidemic there. In the
 intestines of all who died from this dis
 ase,he found micro-organism of pecu-
 liar shape, curved and bent like a comma
 and to this was given the name of comma
 bacillus. The comma bacillus has never
 been observed except in the victims of cholera. Additional proof of it's being the cause of the pest was afforded by further experiments, undertaken not on- ly by Koch, but also by Rietsch and Nic- ati, who produced cholera in guinea pigs by introducing the comma bacillus into their intestines. The bacillus enters the system by way of the stomach and lives anu III iubCSGiACSs AClN it manufactures ptomaine, OF poisonous which, being absorbed into the system, gives rise to the symptoms which we recognize as those of cholera. It is more than probable that the disor- der spreads by being scattered with the intestinal discharges, contaminating wa ter courses, rivers, streams and wells, de- filing the linen and bed clothing and con- trying in an indefinite number of ways to enter the human system again by means of food and drink. The germs are not disseminated through the atmosphere. They are not blown by the winds from one place to another. They follow the lines of travel and commerce. They are by individuals. The dis charges of infected persons are the cen ters from which contagion radiates.- Sun.

Fumigation with sulphur is the most practicable method for disinfecting a house. For this purpose, the rooms to be disinfected must be vacated. Heavy clothing, blankets, bedding and other articles which cannot be treated with zinc solution should be opened and exposed during Immigration. Close the rooms as tightly as possible, place the sulphur in iron pans supported upon bricks placed in wash-tubs containing little water, set it on fire by hot coals or with the acid of spoonful of alcohol and allow the room to remain closed for "A hours. For room about 10 feet square, at least two pounds of sulphur should be used; for larger rooms, proportionally increased quantities.

Speaking of the crossing where J. F.. Kflbride was killed, the Standard we'll says:
 This crossing is peculiarly dangerous one, approached from the south and es- pecially so from north bound train, as the bank obstructs the sound and nothing can be seen of an engine until it is with in few feet of the crossing. Teams have been hemmed in by trains on both New England and Housatonic tracks and New England freight trains, in switching and making up, often obstruct the cross ing. If the roads maintain that grade crossing, the public will before long call for fiagman at that point and it would seem necessity for the protection of life and property. It is 20 months to the day since Edward, son of William E. Hawley, was killed by the same train at the same place and then it was claimed that the engineer did not whistle for the crossing. There are those in town who have rec ords of the negligence of engineers in this respect and they may be of use some time.
