OK PEAR HORN COCNTV. ICR (ON'.RESS, SECOND DISTRICT. CYRUS L. DUBJHMsI OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. CT A Telegraphic dispatch from Pittsburgh on Saturday evening announces that there have been heavy rains during the last twenty-four hours. The river is stationary with seven feet water in the channel. CO-We find in our exchanges quite a number of complimentary notices of our Daily. We confers that they tickle our vanity, and the reason why we don't publih them is because we do not like to ac- ! knowledge that our bump of self-esteem is ro Urge. We return our thanks to our friends who have thus kindly and favorbly noticed our undertaking, and hope that we may never give them occasion to change their opinions of us. 17 Many of the guttt-r in this city are in a most AT.hy condition, as well as many other places on private property. There should be a thorough cleaning, and lime houId be used freely both by the city and by individuals. No tax should, and we believe none would be paid more cheerfully, than that created by putting the city in the best possible condition to avoid cholera. The weather that we have had for a few days past, is well calculated to give the disease a start, and our citizens cannot be too cautious. To be forewarned is to be fotearmed. O The democrats have elected every congressman of Virginia the whole fifteen. One is a sort of whig, but elected by democratic votes. J7" There were nine deaths from cholera i in the Cincinnati Hosptial, during the week ending on Wednesday. Fie. The wholesale liquor store of Mr. T. B. Wilson, situated on Main-cross, between Mulbeny and and Weststreets, was consumed by fire between three and four o'clock yesterday morning. The wholesale dry goods store of Mr Potter, immediately adjoining, waseonsiderably damaged. The buildings belonged to Mr. Whitehead, and were fully insured The stocks, we under- ! etand, were partially covered by insurance Nothing is known as to the origin of the j ftre. . ; The MadiMn (I ) Courier reporta twenty ca- j e of cholera in Louisville on Wednesday. Wei Ute the fact to let our citizens ee. how a report j will magnify! Louisville Democrat. We gave it as a report, and the absence of infromation from the Democrat may explain it. Oir own opinion is that the newspapers shmild faithfully report all canes. Such a course would satisfy the public mind and prevent prejudicial rumors. We re-jo.ce to learn that cholera is not o !

ITit is not because Gen. Taylor re- , moves democrats from clLce that demo- ; crats complain, but it U because General ! Taylor and hU Fupporters said before the

election, that tliey intended to proscribe proscription it is becati.?e Qejx. Taylor and many of his nion prominent supporters l have st ilfui!y and basely Violated their own voluntary pledges. If integrity and t honesty are not to be found in the high : places of our government, where shall we I look for them! If the President cf this great people is to be sustained and sup- ! ported in wilfully violating solemn and j voluntary pledges, what may we not e.tj pect, in. the way of treachery, Irom minor positions! Let the candid and reflecting portion of our people look at the numerous removals in this light, and they wiH see a vast deal of difference between it and mere party preferences. Ckolerjl. A case of cholera occurred on board a steamboat at our wharf last night. The person attacked was cook of the boat. The attack was not attended with the usual premonitory symptoms of diarrhsea.but was sudden and severe, the patient dying at 10 o'clock to-day. Glory Enough. The democrats will now in & probability, have the next Con gress. O" Hon. T. J. Henley, late member of Congress from this district, started for California last Thursday. 0We did not get the loreign market reports in our telegraphic dispatch of Saturday. They may be found in the appropriate column to-day. 0O A few days since a report was started that Judge Meeker, lately appointed for Minesota, had been drowned in an effort to cross the Licking river at a high flood. We are happy to learn that the report is erroneous. Covington, of the Midison Courier, has come to the- conclusion that the salvation and prosperity of Madison depends entirely on the Wisconsin's time, and urges the firemen to "fire up." Lou. Democrat. We mention the Wisconsin's speed, bei cause some of the Cincinnati papers atj tempt to have her underrated. If Millar, of the Democrat, will come up and i take a trip on the Wisconsin, he will soon j be satisfied that she is the fastest boat out 07" Mrs. Gen. Taylor is quite ill at Washington, and her indisposition has been a source of deep anxiety to the President. Vj" Not many miles distant from this city, and not many years ac;o, a gentleman stepped into an establishment for the purpose of wetting his whistle." A number of persons were standing around, and some of whom, if not all, being acquaintances, lhey were of course invited to drink. One fellow replied to the Invitation that he did not feel like drinking just then, "but" said he, '"a fip's a ftp, whether it's spent for liqnor or anything else, so I'll just take a mackeTk for lny sl,are;" and suiting the action J 10 1118 ollli 118 urneu iu a mackerel barrel close by, helped himself to one, and started home We hardly know which to admire most. the fellow's coolness, or his good sense in swapping off his drink of liquor for some thing for h's family to eat.

Sanatory Regulation foe Cholera. ; We copy the following sanatory regulations

from the May number of the Louisville 1 Journal of Medicine and Surgery. Com mon sense, experience, and observation have abundantly testified to the truth cf these regulations : Thft editor of the London Laacet says: "Thes simple measures are worth all the nostrums and j specific which have ever been vaunted for the j cure of Asiatic cholera." The quotations we make are exactly conformable to the laws of ma- j aria, and show a most triumphant proof of the accuracy of the malarious origin of cholera. J based upon one of the most minute investigations j that ever was made fnto the circumstance at- j tendant trpon an epidemic disease: 4 Let every impurity, animal and vegetable, be quickly removed to a distance Irom the habita tions, snch as daughter-houses, pig-sties, cess pools, necessaries, and all other domestic nui sances. We do not believe that animal putrefactions are ever connected with epidemic diseases, but there can be no objection to their removal from habitations. "Let all uncovered drains be carefully and fre- j quently cleansed. j "Let the grounds in and around the habita- j tions be drained, so as effectua y to carrv cfT , j v, J v" , mointure of everv kind. "Let all partitions be removed from within and without habitations, which unnecessarily impede ventillation. "Let every room be thrown open for the ad mission of fresh air, and this bhould be dona about noon, when the atmosphere is dry. "Let dry rubbing be used in domestic cleans ing, In place of water cleansing. "Let excessive fatigue, and exposure to damp and cold, especially during the night, be avoided. "Let the use of cold drinks and acid liquors, especially under fatigue.be avoided; or when the body is heated. "Let a poor diet and the use of impure water in cooking or for drink, be avoided. "Let the wearing of wet and insufficient clothing be avoided. "Let a flannel or woolen belt be worn around the belly. "N. B. This has been found serviceable in checking the tendency to bowel complaint, so common during the prevalence of cholera. This disease has, in this country, been always found to commence with a looseness in the bowels, and in this stage it is very tractable. It should, however, be noticed, that the looseness is frequently attended with pain or uneasiness; and fatal delay has often occurred, from the idea that cholera must be attended with cramp. In the early stage here referred to, there is often no griping or cramp, and it is at this period that the disease can can be most easily arrested. "Let personal cleanliness be most carefully observed. "Let every cause tending to depress the moral and physical energies.be carefully avoided ; aud let exnosure to extremes of IihaI nri rnlH h. avoided. "Let crowding of persons within houses and apartments be avoided. "Let sleeping in low or damp rooms be avoided. "Let fires be kept up during the night in sleepiug or adjoining apartments, the night being the period of most danger from attack, especially under exposure to cold or damp. "Let all bedding and clothing be daily exposed during winter and spring to the fire, and in sun. - mer to the heat of the sun." A New Way to Pay Olu Debts. About a half-dozen years ago, a very worthy farmer in a neighboring State used to come to this village weekly to sell Ii is produce. He soon found that it was much easer to sell than to get payment. Among others, he had trusted a widow two or three dollars. He dunned and dunned her, until he began to feol somewhat vexed not angry, for the lady was very lavish of her smiles, and managed the affair o adroitly that the creditor almost resolved to "grin and bear it." After no little reflection, he determined to make one more effort. Knowing that every person has a weak spot, he thought that if he could di.-cover hers, anJ attack it with all his forces, the might surrender, and he get the debt. He called one Saturday at her house, and ran into the kitchen where she was at work. Her looks beppoke confusion, but, recovering her presence of mind, she, with all the ease of a schoolboy who has repeated his lesson for the fiftieth time, said, "Why, Mr. , I am very glad to see you, but I can't pay you to-day. You must eall next week." "Oh, my dear madam," replied he, "I did not come to talk about that; I cid not even think of that lHtle sum. I'm coin on what is more important to my happinesn, and I trust to yours. Madam (here he directed a most killing look at her), madam, I'm a widower." Here he paused, as if his rising feelings choked hi struggling j voice. The widow instinctively felt what the j widower was aiming ut, and ought not to be censured if she attempted to meet him half way. adioiniu nom, where ahs placed sa her head a
