SUNBURY AMERICAN AND gHAMOKIN JOURNAL. ,
" A PAINFUL PICTIRK ST LOUS.
' A correspondent of the Boston Transcript,
writing from St. Louis on the 29th initant,
! Mys: , .y, . .. v . .. . ... ' ,
" What an afflicted city is this ! Fire, pes
tilence, army worm, rain and fogs, dlscour
age and oppress us. Calamities are all around
us. Death m every where- Cholera is deal-
ing its blows to the right and left, and thou
sands of our people have been hurried to their
, graves. A well man now, may be, an hour
hence, a corpse. The' sextons, the underta
kers, and even, trie horses of. llie city, are
, worn out with the dreadful, work of burial.
Carts ar.d furniture wagons have to supply the
' places of hearses, which, though' numerous.,
'arc insufficient to carry out the coffins, though
. filed one upon another. '. - .
; Many dead bodies lie, Without a friend to
execute the riles of Interment, tint if a public
' officer 01 a sister of charity comes to put them
, in the ground. Some persons, to save expen
ses, which they are 'not able to bear, bury
' their friends in the woods or on the sand-bars
of the river. Many is the house, lately full
of inhabitants, that now has scarcely one left
' to tell the story of the departed. Husband
und wife will take their tea together at eve
niiig. and before the next morning, one or
both is ready for the grave.
Some of the sextons, overtasked, bury the
.tlead at half the usual depth. The City
Government have abdicated their powers be
fore an indignant populace, and the duties of
the Board of Health are devolved upon a com
mittee of citizens. The public schoolhouses
are turned into hospitiils, and the chief busi
ness of the living is to take care of the sick
wild dying, and to bury the dead. Muny
' members of the City Government, and proba
bly not less than 10,1100 of the citizens have
lied. Thu stillness of the Sabbath reigns,
while death is doing its work. The newspa
pers do not, it is said, report half the cases,
( because nil the tortus of law are paralyzed,
, and officers do not discharge their duties.
A dullness, nervousness und luck of energy
are tnunifested by every one. The atmos
phere is hot and humid. Flies swarm iu my
riads. Vegetation grows with the rankest
luxuriance, and animal life sinks proportion
ally. . Painful as this account is, wo fear it is not
overcharged. The lust accounts represent
. the deaths at 200 per day, a dreadful mortal
ity compared with the population.
FETEIt MILLER'S WILL.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the deci
sion of Judge Junks, setting aside the will of
the late Peter Miller. By this decision, some
of the finest farms iu this rich agricultural
region, will full into the hands of Peter Mil
lers nephew, who is a sensible, industrious
man. and nt present in moderate circumstan
ces. The whole estate is estimated at $350,
000. We understand that part of the wil'
bequeathing legacies to several private indi
viduals, and $10,000 in equal shares to the
Lutheran and German He formed benevolent
societies, the interest of which is to be ex
pended in the purchnse of fuel, clothing, &c,

oing the rounds of the papers, announcing
le death at San Antonio, on the 1st tilt., of
ia Texan hero, who is slated to have fallen
victim to cholera. It is entirely unfounded.
Tim Boston Ciironotvpe, speaking of
iwers, iSatnury says', "his bust of Jackson is
wonderful likeness of the strong-willed
