St. Petersburg Escapes Cholera.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 11.—The fear - that there would be an epidemic of cholera in Russia this summer has not been realized. It was expected that the disease would be brought from Persia, where it was prevalent last summer, and many precautionary measures were taken on the Persian border and elsewhere throughout Russia.
