CHOLERA.

TOWN AND COUNTRY. Will the Cholera prevail again in Cincinnati? Is a question put every hour by hundreds, and answered by as many vvith the hope that it v ill not. This reply is perhaps more comfortable than philosophical ; still there ace reasons which may be adduced to sustain it. I. In the invasion oflast autumn our city lost one out of fifty of its inhabitants; a proportion greater than the average loss from Cholera elsewhere. Why then should we anticipate another visitation? II. In the higher parts of the temperate zone, that is above the latitude of 32 and 31 degrees, the Epidemic has not often prevailed with great mortality a second time in the same place. It will probably follow, hereafter, the laws which have followed it heretofore. It seems indeed to be conforming to them at the present time Cincinnati, Louisville, Frankfort, St. Louis, NewOrleans and our Steam Boats suffered mortally last fall. This spring it was reproduced, to 5ome extent, in all these places, except Frankfort; but has keen far less violent, than in Vicksburg, Lex

ington, and Wheeling, which were

but slightly affected last year. It would seem, then, that those towns which were scourged severely in 1832, are likely to be comparatively exempt in 1833. Several weeks since, a number of fatal cases occurred in this city, and others happened a late as the close of last week. But the disease as yet makes no decided progress. For three or ur days past, the number of attacks has not been such as to occasion any serious alarm. Society is not disorganized in the slightest degree, and very few have left the city. Now as the Epidemic influence rarely hangs over any place, for a longer period than has elapsed since the first cases occurred here this spring, we may not only hope, but expert, that Providence has not in store for us, a second mortal and desolating visitation. To the question shall we fly to the country. 1 would oppose another is not the country likely to suffer this as thecity suffered last year? Every where the disease has first attacked the populous cities, and afterwards the villages and the coun

try. Miio, last year, with the exception of Cincinnati, suffered but hub, and proved to b a safe asylum for fugitives from thecity. It may be far otherwise this year, it probably will, and should it they

w.io go into the country, may have cause to repent their flight. it sh uM be known and flit, however, that such, at this time is the tendency, to the Epidemic, in every part of our citv. that all exciting causes should be carefully avoided. It should, also, be known and appreciated, tUatthe disease this snrini'

In front, above Otter treet. a roor famiU of the name of Sparks, ar.dctr.sistingofa man, his wife and sevenl children, have for i-cme time resided.

One blow was insuflicient; and procuring a heavy stick he ccnrinitnced the task of murder with renewed determination and vigor. He struck he: with thisVlub, until at length with a heavy blow upon the head he felled tar to tbe earth. He then dragged her is t the house.

The night passed away with the horrible witness of his crime in tbe sair; room, and within a few feet of him vet he slept on as if murder w ere a sportas if blood the blood of his own wifecould be spilled upon his wn hearU&ic without exciting regret or apprebtr.s'or. Even in the morning when the fumes of passion had passed olT, he arose from hii bed and leaving the body of his vie tim remaining untouched and almcsf unnoticed, repaired as usual to his work. When the neighbors came in they fourd the body extended on the floor, with one child lying asleep beside it, and the infant upon its murdered mother's brea'f seeking nuture from that sourse which its unnatural and fiendish lather hndfa' ever closed. The wretch was reprehended and taken before Alderman Hutchinson and committed. A core ner'sjury was convened, the corpse ti amined by several physicians, and a verdict returned that she came to her deads by blows inflicted by her husband.
