The other cases recovered. Cholera made its appearance iu New York last Fall, s.nd in accordance with the history of this epidemic in ycers past, it will scourge the UnitDd States eluring September and October. Ivxpericnce demonstrates that cleanliness and the proper efforts to purify tho surroundings of towns will, to a great extent, mitigate the severity of cholera. The alleys, drains, and out houses of Bloomington, or the majority of them, are reeking with filth, and iuvite disease. It is time our citizens were moving, in sanitary matters. Privy vaults, n many of the alleys, are overflowing, and after the warm showers that are now so frequent, load the sultry air with sickening odors. Vegetation is rank, the weeds grow this summer with wonderful r lpidity, upon every street,

town. This thing is not of common occurrence Emory Voss brought to this office, on Thursday morning, a quantity of the finest tomatoes of his own raising, that we have seen this season. One tomato weighed one pound a,nd three quarters. Have you a larger one The Republican Mass Meeting.on Thursday, August loth, was a grand demonstration. Extra trains brought the peaplo from both north and south, and each road was lined with wagons containing men, women and children ; while the

citizens of Bloomington and vicinity generally, repaired to the Court. House yard, and patien tly waited

the coming of the Express train

from the north. A largo procession,

headed by the Bloomington Silver Band, escorted Gen. Browne to the

Court House yard, and after several finely executed songs by the Glee Club, Tom Browne was introduced by Major Mulky. Gen.Brownc then addressed the people for two hours, and was attentively listened to throughout, only interrupted ly frequent and hearty applause. This was Gen. Browne's sixty-fifth speech, and although worn out by his la

bors, he rallied and delivered ODO of

the finest speeches ever made from an out-door stand. There is an unmistakable degree of enthusiasm developing in the Republican canvass that will grow stronger with each weck,and result in a decided victory at the polls in October. The Republicans of Monroe County ars hopeful ; yea, they are happy, and do not intend to allow feelings of a personal nature to distract then from their allegiance to party. At about half-past eight o'clock, in response to a serenade, Gen.Brownc made a few well timed remarks from the steps cf the National House. He was followed, in response to repeated calls, by Hon. G.A. Buskirk, who made an earnest and effective speech. Taking it all together, lie day was one long to be remembered by Republicans, and much good will doubtleis groV out of the proceedings had on the 15th of August, 1872. We will not attempt to estimate the actual number in attendance, though it was not far short of 4,000. Gov. Morton has receiA'ed a list of appointments from the Staie Central Committee, and will speak in this town on the 4th of September, at which time we expect to sije 10,000 people in Bloomington The Post Office has been removed to the Butler Building. Shelton's Grocery has taken up quarters next to the old Chase Store Store stand. Joseph M. Howe is in the east room of Dunn & Co's Building. Bolleabacher has placed his stock of Boots and Shoes in the frame building o::ie door east of Dunn & Co's. Ike Walker takes possession of his new room next to llhorer's Store. Wiley L. Bates occupies a room up-stairs in the Butler Building. Four Liquor Saloons were burned, and unfortunately for their business," thay dare not sell upon any other premises than those upon which tluy have procured License. This will give Gus. Krcuger, who now has the only saloon 'in town, a vast amount of irouble ; but he is a good natural fellow, and will be equal to the emergency A large nurjbcr of young ladies have had their fortunes told by Gipsies. Speedy marriage and plenty of money wi ;h which to buy new bonnets, is the fortune usually assured them

Those twin.s of Tobe Smith's, rc learn are doing well. We neglected to state that they arc calves, and that Tobe is proud of his cow Dan. Voorhccs made a "talk" (far

it was not worthy the name of

speech) in the Court House yard, on Saturdav night. It was the wea jest effort we have yet heard Voorhec9 make. Fully one-half the people present were Republicans, drawn there from curiosity, as thuy wanted to hear how Dan. would wriggle out of his speech against Greeley. John East, (who objected to having a resolution introduced by D. O. Spencer, endorsing Voorhees, at the Convention held to appoint delegates to the State Convention,) felt badly. He looked sick. Fact is, he seemed ashamed of Voorhece' effort, and by his restless movements betrayed the confidence he evidently felt, that he could have made a better speech himself Josliua and G. L. Stepp, of Marion township, are making arrangements to emigrate to Kansas Since Saturday last, a one-armed soldier has been grinding "Hear Me Norma" out of an organ,to the edification of the young people, and with profit to himself

A building of brick will be

put up at once, for the Dexter Sa

loon, and also for Renshaw's (Sluss Saloon) Dan. Voorhecs said in his speech last Saturday night : "Greeley had an object in view, the Democrats had nn object in view. Greeley desired the defeat of Grant,

the Democratu desired the defeat of

Grant." There it is, just what hu.s been charged upon the Democrat s, and denied by them "Anything xo beat Gh-ant .'" - We sympathise deeply with Mr. Pursel in the rrcent loss by fire, of his entire office, and hope he will be enabled to reestablish the Democrat in a week or two. Every country printing office should be fully insured, as it is seldom the material, which is heavy and difficult to handle,can be saveel. Those indebted to Mr. Pursel should step forward at once and pay the! r bills, so that he may resume busi ness immediately Let every farmer, every mechanic, every

merchant, prepare some article for exhibition at the County Fair. Begin now, if you have not already done so We acknowledge the receipt, from W . B.

A month previous to the time at which Levi left here, we referred to the fact that he purposed visiting the Fatherland, and spoke for "a bottle of Rhine Wine and a pair of Wooden Shoes." Levi is one of those rare men who never forget their friends, so when we were toiling in the second story of t be Program Building.Tannenbaum was skirmishing through the shops of Hamburg, hunting wooden Shoes, complicated Pocket Knives, Meerschaum Pipes, etc., for his acquaintances at home. We received the Woodea Shoes and the Rhine Wine em Monday evening, and propose to slip our feet into the

From the .Democrat Extra of Aug. 17. GIKK.4T FIRE! Entire Square ol' Buildings Destroyed Democrat Offiae A yong tlie Unfortunate.' $20,000 Wouth of Property Burned ! On Friday morning last, about 3 o'clock, the terrible alarm of fire was sounded from the fire alarm at the Court House. The alarm was caused ly the discovery of fire in the sccoid story of the building in which our Office was situated, on the corner of Fifth and Railroad Streets. It soon became evident that the entire building would be destroyed, and effort's were immediately macie to prevent the spreading of ihc fire, but to no avail. The fire spread to the frame buildings immediately on the East and South, and from thence to the frame buildings fronting on College Avenue, and finally to the large three story brick of Messrs. Howe and Small, on tho corner of College Avenue and Fifth S rcet;' thus completing the destruc tion of the entire square between College Avenue and the Railroad, and lifth Street and the-alley running past the Orchard House, containing fourteen business rooms. The fire originating in the room immediately under our office, the smoke and heat kept any one from gaining an entrance thereto, thus

preventing us from saviug any of

our material all ol: which was to

tally destroyed. By the efforts of

the 1' ire Company, a ladder was placed against the wall, which enbled the::n r.o get to a window near where our books were located, arid

by this effort they were saved. The front room of the second story was occupied as a Bleeping room, the other two were vacant. The first floor front room was occupied by H. Knaucr as a confectionery and bakery, most of his goods were saved: insured. The

room fronting ihc Depot was occu

pied us a saloon by U. Soulier. A

large part of hH goods saved ; some

liquors stored in the cellar were burned; insured. The frame buildings on the East were owned by Jos. M. Howe. The first room was occupied by Mike Smith as a barber shop ; the second by W. L. Bates as a shoe shop ; and the third by C. A. Mobley as a notion store. Nearly all their goods were saved. The fVarne on the South, fronting the Depot, was owned bv the O'Bold estate. The first was occupied by Renshaw, the second by Thos. Carr ; both as saloonn. about everything in these buildings were saved. The brick building on the corner was owned by Jos. M. Howe and James Small. It was occupied by Mr. Howe as a drv croods store, aim by J. Glass McPheeters as a Post Office and book store. Nearly all the goods of these stores were savt-d. They were fully covered by insurance. Next to this building on College Avenue, was Geo. Bol ienbacher's boot and shoe store, stock about all saved; no insurance. Next was the grocery store of J AV. Shelton, who succeeded in saving most of his goods. The next room was occupied by Walker & Bro. as a meat market. Tho greater pa::t of their fixtures was saved. Ti e last building in the row was occupied by Oscar Souder as a billiard and drinking saloon. The stock and fixtures were all insured. This completes the list of buildings destroyed, and the snfferere thereby. But for the great exertions and energy of onr citizens, the Orchard House building, situated just across the allev, would have

been burned. We do not know the

exact loss, but it is not far fro at from $20,000. The cause of the fire is a mystery that has not as yet been fathomed. A large number of our citizens believe it to have been the work of an incendiary. At any rate, whatever the cause which pr duced is, it was the largest fire that has ever visited Bloomington. The loss of our office is a pretty heavy blow upon us, but with perseverance and energy we hope to overcame ail difficoilties. We did not save anything out of the fire but our books. Our total loss was about $1,800, on which we had an insurance policy of $500, leaving a net loss to us of $1,300. Those persons who are owing us would do us a kindness by settling their accounts, as we will need the money. Medical. Notice is hereby giv

Wm. F. Browning. A report has Icen put in circulation with in the last ten days, in Bloomingtoa., that Wm. F. Browning will vote for Greeky. This report eomir.g to tho ears of Mr. B. he writes as fI Iowa to Mr. Tate; Tho report in circulation that I am for Greeluy and intend to vote for him fur President, is false; and the persoi, wheth er a Democrat or Liberal Republican, who originated and pat in circulation said report, originated and circulated a fahtohood knowingly. Nothing but being unavoidably kept away from the polls on the day of tlio next Presidential election, will prevent me from votin" for Gen. Grant for President, and I will also at the October election vote for the Republican State Ticket, for the Republi

can candidate for Congress in my District and for the Republican. County Ticset fit
