SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL
THE ASIATIC tHOLKIU.
An erroneous opinion prevails among many
persons that the Asiatic Cholera Mi ikes its
victim with the suddenness almost of light
ning. Tho fue,t is that there mo few diseases'
which give eatlier or mote certain warning
of their approach J and it is only after the pa
tient hot labored under the incipient Binges
for thrco or four days, Jhut. the fjnal attacjs
occurs." If tho premonitory symptoms ore
Watched, cholera is comparatively harmless,
indeed far less fatal than any other disorder
to which mankind is subject.
The first indication of tho approach of tho
disease a hardncs, or fulness irl the abdo
men, betraying a slight derangement in the
organs there situated. If a class of water is
taken, a feeling of distress, or uneasiness en
sues, generally of a light character, however,
nnd in consequence frequently disregarded
altogether, or soon forgotten. In time on
tho next day perhaps occasional pains shoot
through the stomach, and a sensation of nan
cea is experienced. Pianhna ensues, per
haps Vomiting, tho day after, or, in violent
vases, on the same day. F.ven I hough the
patient may have disregarded the former
symptoms, if he will now call in a physician,
and lako proper remedies, he i3 nearly sine
of recovery, more mire than a person attack
ed with fever, or oilier ordinary disorders.
If, however, ho neglects these forewarning,
violent cramp succeeds, and then there is
teal danger.
The only pciil, therefore, that exists, arises
from the carlessness of ihe public, .superindu
ced by the gentleness of the disease in it
earlier stages. If a man is attacked with the
rramp, and dies in a few hours, it is said that
lie fell a victim to tho cholcia in a single
day! yet, in reality, if enquiry was institu
ted, it would bo found that he had been la
boring under Iho premonitory stages of the
disease for several days; ami that the cramp,
which was considered the first, was in reality
the last assault of the enemy. The lassitude
accompanying the earlier progress of the dis
order, joined to the extreme mildiies of the
symptoms, induces frequently a criminal
carelessness, which leads to the most fatal
results. Yet, if the approaches of the disease
are watched, they are certain to yield to
proper nnd timely treatment.
We still believe that tho cholera is not
here epidemically. A few cases may have
occurred ; but even these Iouk somewhat
questionable. In 132 the rice-water dis
charge infallibly accompanied the fatal slago
of the disease. Wo hear nothing of this
symptom now ; and without it there can be
no Asiatic cholera. Wo have, eveiy year,
as many fatal rases of common cholera
weekly, as the reported cases of cholera as
phyxia within the last week ; so that there
js scarcely more cause of alarm now than in
ordinary seasons. Bulletin.

About $300,000 have been coined. Per.

a wiso precaution, as far as health is concern

some enthusiastic physicians in the West rep

'treats of the new remedy in this style:
' The statement of Dr. Derrick is liable to

Tho death of Martin Irwin, the Register
& Recorder of this county, on Wednesday
morning last, imposes upon Governor Johns
ton the duly of appointing a new ollicer
until the next election. Mr. Irwin has left
a large family a wife and eight children,
most of them small. He was in embarassed
circumstances, but hoped with the aid of
his ofiice, to which he was elected last fall,
that he would be able to secure the property
in which he lived, and which he had recent
ly built. A manlier of our citizens have
recommended George P. Buyers, for tho of
fice, who generously agrees to appropriate
the profits of the ollice, lor the benefit of
the family of the late incumbent. Mr.
Buyers, is a good whig and well qualified
for the office.
We have also learned that David Rocke
feller, l.s., is an applicant on the same
terms, and is strongly recommended. Mr.
Rockefeller is au excellent business man,
and would make a good officer.

storm on Sunday week last, which did con

the Luminary says, were as large as a man's

Cholera. Having arrived at the novel and lo
gical conclusion by Ihe mere lorce of genius,
'the next step was to find an auliduto, and
this '-the accurate chemical knowledge" of
Dr. Bird enabled him to f'suggesl" sulphur.
How can any medical man believe that Or.
flerrick, editor of a medical journal, was so
'ignorant of foreign medical literature as not
to know that this "inference" as to the
"Ozonic" origin ofcholura, was so familiar
as to havo been already abundantly tested
and found to bo idle ? And can any body
believe that Dr. Bird diew iqxm his "aceu

of sulphur as the antidote, when Ihe same
page of Iho "periodical" on which he proba
bly lead the article from a German chemist,
(ixige .132, April number of the American
Journal or tho Medical Sciences.) contained
,a.-,o,the identical "siilphiiious"' suggestion !
1 1 Confess that my inferences from conduct
en,ch as this do not incline me to place much
confidence in the report of tho experiments
with sulphur, which follow the narration, of
iho primary steps in this aflair.
As to Osone, it may be well tn rcmaik,
that diligent search was made for it in thu

, well as in the external air of St. lVtci.-burgh,
, dining the lato prevalunco of tho epidemic,

A considerable amount of sympathy is
wasted about every four years upon the
, gentlemen whom the chances of jmlilics re
move from official stations. Tho New York
' Tribune says
"We have no tears for those doomed by a
r turn of the political wheel to go out of ollice.
We never could squeeze out a tear of com
(j passion for the sorrowing "victim," who, af
, ler having enjoyed the emoluments of a pub
r lie station for some years, is made to give
place to another. If the office were desira
ble, he has share as one of the people. If to
hold it involve a sacrifice, he has endured his
,r part, and ought to be relieved.' If there is
any crying to be done in this case, let him
. do it himself at all events, he can have no
help from this quarter."
This is right. We can excuse private grief
' for loss of an office, but it is a little too much
to ask the whole public to ioin in. We com-
mend the Tribune's remarks to the considera
tion of the Washington I'nion, and hope they

hands are returning, and thu town is filling
up. This will be cheering news to many.
The sudden transition from actiwrntcrpri.se
and industry to dulness and inacthity,
caused by the stopping ol the iron works,
gave to Danville, for a time, the appear
ance of a town abandoned on account of
pestilence. We are pleased to hear of a
renewal of business, nnd trust it may be
permanent. Webster never uttered a truer
sentiment than when lie stated that the
great ends of government, ;md the best means
to secure the blessings of our tree institu
tions, was to furnish the peoi de with em
ployment, and such employment as would
remunerate tiiem lor their laiior. 1 Ins is
true ns well as practical philosophy, and is
I worth more than all the abstractions of tho
' free trade theorists of the last century.
Ul" The coal trade is now vigorously
I prosecuted in the Schuylkill region. The
amount taken to market last week reached
nearly sixty thousand tons, of which the rail
road carried 13,2'.l(i tons and the canal lti,-
151 tons. Thus far the amount taken to
market exceeds that of the same time last
year considerably ; but it will require ac
cording to the Miners Journal, -1-00,000
tons, to make up the deficiency in the slock
occasioned by the strike by the miners and
thu deficiency of last season. The coa!
trade must, we think, prosper for this sea
son ui u-ast. i ne ix'iugn region on ac
count of the difficulties with their boatmen
will also fall something short of the amount
anticipated.
t?" The Miltonian speaking of counter.
fcils, says, that "a man cannot be prosecu
ted for passing a counterfeit bill of a bank
of another state of a less denomination than
five dollars." This is a mistake. This ques
tion was raised at the last court, and Judge
Anthony decided that such persons were
liable to be prosecuted. If the law was
otherwise, the counterfeiters would have
a merry time of it at present.
BISHOP DO AWE. .
It will be recollected that Bishop Doano
of New Jersey, failed recently for a large
amount. His liabilities having been various
ly estimated from $200,000 to $800,000.
The Bishop has published an address, giving
a brief account f his difficulties. He says
ho was elected Bishop of New Jersey when
rector of Trinity Church in Boston in 1832,
without his knowledge, that he labored as
siduously in building up a poor diocese, with
an official income that did not exceed $500.
Bishop Doano is married to a widow lady
of Boston of great wealth, and we presume,
having been accustomed to spend freely, of
funds which lie had no trouble in earning
he was but jioorly calculated as a financier,
lie attributes these difficulties to his endea
vors to build up two institutions of educa
tion on church principles. The first diffi
culty encountered was the general failure
of 1.S37, which arrested a subscription of
$2r,000 towards an endowment, before two
thirds of it had been obtained, and left him
to supply the deficiency as he best could.
Its further effect was to keep down the pa
tronage of the institution, for several years,
to a point far below Ihe cost of maintenance.
Merging his whole resources and credit in
the institution, it went on, and with return
ing prosperity success became embarrassing.
''He says: Every thing was to be done;
and nothing to do it wilh. i'.very thing was
done, and done with nothing. And he, who
with (iod's blessing, has accomplished these
things, utter two most dangerous attacks ol

months, bavin" exhausted, in his enterprise
for Christian education, his means ami his

it is intended to aid the election of some

fty- Much of our paper this week is
taken up with subjects on the cholera.
An account of Dr. Bird's discovery of a
remedy, will be found on our first page.
It is severely commented upon by an arti
cle in another portion of our paper. What
the substance' ozone is, has not been satis
factorily explained. Physicians are ex
ceedingly prone to use terms to mystify
their patients and readers, and generally
use Latin or Greek, or even gibberish, in
preference to the plain English. The con
clusion arrived at by some is, that ozone is
azoic or tu'lroiren, one of the constituents of
atmospheric air, which of itself is jxiison
ous, and that the cause ol the cholera is the
undue prevalence of that substance. We
shall however wait before we condemn the
new discovery. Old school practitioners in
all professions, are very apt to condemn
new discoveries as humbug?.

COMMUNICATION.
Mr. Editor: Allow us to recommend
through your valuable paper, Major WM. I
DKWAKT, of Suiibury, as a candidate I
thu nc.vt Legislature. It hasbecn the custom
of late years by the Democratic party of this
county Id choose their liepresentalivu nit
irately from eilliei side of tho river, and as the
l-'oiks have had the member for the last 2
years, it now belongs to the lower end. And
iu facl it is ceded by them lo this side. We
know of no man who wo would nuuo cheer
fully recommend to the Demoeralii: portion
of this county than Mr. Dewart ; he is a man
of pure democratic principles; ho has alw ays
battled in the good cause, and we are sure
that he would attend to the interest of his
constituents, ami go iu for the great principle
of "doing the greatest good for tho greatest
number." There are many principles of great
interest now agitating the public, nud wo
want a man of a strong mind to represent us,
one whose own interests nor those of any
clique oi faction would contiol him, and such
a one we find in the Major. By publishing
this you will confer a favor on many.
Dumoi-rats ok Jackson.

An Exi-kuimf.nt to increase the sic of
plums is about being tried by our townsman,
(ii:mu;K A. FliicK, Ksp, who showed us a
few day3 ago a plum-tree in his garden, on
one branch of w hich the fiuit appears latger
and more thrifty than on others. During the
blossoming time, Mr. Fi-.ick separated thu
bark from around thu limb iu question on
one place, about inch wide, thus compel
ling, as it were, the sap ur nourishment to
force itself through thu body instead of be
tween it and the baik, as we believe is usu
ally the case ; and strnugo ns it may seem,
Ihe limb looks limn ishing and thriving, and
thu fiuit on il hixin iiiut and healthy much
more so than on thu other branches. We
shall watch the resell of Mr. Fkick's experi
ment with some interest, and see if tho end
will justify the means. Danville Democrat.

and juicy for any length of time. But, with
all my care now iu this closet, now iu that;
now wrapped in paper, now iu bran ; now iu
a cool place, now iu a dry ono they would
dry up and became hard as wood. (If kite,
however, I have preserved thein perfectly

thu education of tho colored population uf

having charge of that subject gavo rise to a
protracted and animated debute, the stum
bling block being the conflict with the laws
of soiiiu of the Southern States, which forbid
tho education of slaves, and do not allow
them to assembln together for religious wor
ship. Nevertheless, tho Convention passed,
on motion of Mr. F.lfonl, of South Carolina,
the following important resolution .'
Resolved, That we regard Ihe religious
instruction of our colored population as a duty
imperatively incumbent upon us as Soulhren
Christians ; that we regard the preaching of
the word of God as the best means of dis
charging this duty, and we earnestly recom
mend to our churches to devote a stated por
tion of their publio exetcises to the particu
lar instruction of colored persons in the truth
of the Bible. .
