treated for cholera in the various I'arh hos
pitals. Of the 511 buccumlied te the disease
(cenfiistliig erSW men and Wl women,) w hlle
239 patle nta had been nt the last date com
pletely cured. The mortality hnd liccn 6i
33 per cent, for men nnd 3.31 ler women.
Hng gatherers, 8Cainstrese9, washerwomen,
bricklayers masons nnd shoemakers were
the classes which supplied the large-it rela
tive number of victims, and many of these
npre pel-neus who hnd Ixcn exposed te phy

Dr. Kech rclcrs te the occurrence of cholera
among washei women exposed te infected
clothing as proof that the cemma-liaeillus is
the cnuse of thu disease. Ordinal lly the
bacilli are aparently destroyed In the healthy
nlemach, but it would koeu become fatal w hen
digestion is deranced. for the clinical facts of
cholera seem te show, as an authority en the
Htibleet nayn, that "of a given uumlier of in

taken 111, and these almost all sullen from

A most horrible murder was cemmitted en
Monday morning nt Oak Hill, Urynn county,
On., about two o'clock. The murdeier,
Allen Askew, ncceidlng te his own state
ment, heard a nnise in the room In which
hl v Ife was sleeping and discovered another
negre, named Mack Loften, in the room w It li
her. He went out and walling n whlle
called te him. Instead of tcplying Loften
picked up a gun and pointing in the direction
of the votce of Allen pulled the trigger, but
it failed te llie. Allen then procured a tur tur
pentine nxe, u long, keen, thin bladed Im
plement, id ways kept as sharp as a razor, and
made a Lrcnk toward the man, and coming
un te Mack struck him. Mack fell and
Allen continued te cut and hack at him
w hlle en the lloer although the room was in
dnrknes. Te the surprise of Askqw Loften
hpmngupnud lied. unlMirring the deer uml

Askew seen usceitaincd that instead of
having planted his blows en the body of
Loften, as he thought he was detug. he had
been cutting away ut his stepson, William
Harris, who was sleeping en n pallet near
where he had knocked Loften down. Ko Ke
lunlniug long enough te ascertain that lie had
killed the boy, he tee tied, The lumdcier
says he had nodeshe te strike or hint the
boy in any way, but he did tiy tp kill Loften,
of whom he was afraid. Frem information
received from ether sources it was thought
Akew also attempted te kill his wife, from
whom he had licen separatcd, although living
in thosamehouse,but, inlslakliiRhcr position,
he kllled the seu. Askew wus captured and
ledged in Jail in Oak 1111!, en Wedncsdas.
The details of the eiliue nre sickening in the
extreme. The peer boy, doubtles, nevcr
knew what struck hi in. His head w ns split

in which a systematic plan were followed,
the organized effort would net foil of satisrae
tery result. Lincoln made the first general
raid en Buzzard's haunts en the Fphrata

no doubt her late meve in tlie matter or organ
