The cholera broke out in Maysville, Ky. on Saturday, since when there have been twenty-six cases and twenty deaths. Four new sick and not expected to live. All the deaths but one have occurred within a half square and but three deaths outside of the infected district. Among the dead are Mrs. Rusk and three daughters. Other children of the same family will probably die.

Very little sickness here or in the interior. "V PirraauRG, June 8, 8 p. hi

PITTSBURGH, June 7, p. m.

A ratification meeting was held to-night in the room of the Supreme Court—flie room was well filled—Wm. Wilkins presided speeches were delivered by James Snowden, W. W. Irving, P. C. Shannon and others. Resolutions approving the nomination of Pierce and King, were unanimously adopted, also one approving the Baltimore platform.

The Washington Republic says Pierce is an old Hunker of the strict sect, having distinguished himself in the House of Representatives by hostility to river and harbor improvements that he even voted against all «uch bills, that subsequently were approved by General Jackson, including one for the Delaware breakwater also, against the Cumberland road. In the Senate he also voted against all harbor and railroad bills, even •against a grant of land to the Indiana railroad that offered to carry the mails free for 20 years as a recompense. His greatest «peech in the Senate was against the relief of the widow of Gen. Harrison.

The Intelligencer considers him a firstTate man but thinks his experience has not been practical enough to the extent to qualify him to administer the affairs of government, should the people call him to that •trust.

MONTREAL,

June

A fire commenced 8 o'eloek yemterday -morning, in a carpenter's shop on St. Peters street, corner of Lemoine street, which -was destroyed. The residence of J.Martin, adjoining, was also destroyed,and two of his •children burned to death. The fire extended to the old Standard Church, which was destroyed, as also Mahoney's dwelling house and the store of Ryan Brothers &.Co. Thr south-west wind carried the fire to St. Paul «treet, destroying tho roofs of several houses In its passage. In that street the buildings occupied as the Customs Department, Seymour & Wbitrag's store, Ogleby Woods, dry .goods Scott it Lyne, dry goods and a number of others, were destroyed. Loss eatimated roughly at a milion of dollars. Further particulars are escpected.

We notice that several prominent papers in commenting upon the late sad «ft»ir at Covington,H* which Mr. Hannogan stabbed and killed his brother-in-law, intimate that the trial for that offence will result 4n nothing, as Mr. Havnegan has heretofore been an old favorite ha'Fountain. We are much deceived in the people of Fountain county if they do not give Mr. Hanne* gan just such a trial as he. and every other man in like circumstances, de* serves. Neither his former prominent position, bis talents, nor his influence will shield him from just such punishment as he merit*. The citixent of Fountain county owe it to themselves that the trial should be impartial, and Fountain county has too many men who will not forget duty to themselves and their country, to suffer any partiality in this matter, even if Mr. Hannegan and his friends desired it, &s we are ascured they do not.—Lafa^etu Journal.

iswtsible contemporary says: "The women ought to make a pledge not to kiss a man who chews tobacco, and would soon break up tho practice."—

friend of ours says they ought also to pledge themselves to kiss every man that don't use it—and we go for that too." Diuo us.

An invincible wit and punster asked the captain of a craft loaded with boards, how he managed to get dinner on the pasaage. "Why,** replied ihe skipper, ••we always cook aboard ." '"Cook a board, do you?" rejoined the wag "then I see you have been well supplied with provieion# this trip, at all events."!

What will You take for Yourself 1 This Is question often propounded by exasperated young gentlemen In flight of words. Here la a case in print.

A young Dutchman named Charles Yander Choux.iweim -nine year* of age, having in the space of ten year* dissi

Saiher,aand

tated large fortune leh him by his being now absolutely without a thaler, has resorted to the follow* lug original method of replenishing his impoverished treasury. He puts himself up in lottery. One hundred thousand tickets at ien frances each, amount to one million in round numbers. The prospectus accompanying each ticket acquaints the public with the de tails of the operation: •Up in a lottery, a young man, twen ty eight years and a half of age. five feet eight inches high, of agreeable face —which has, by the way, pleased on several occasions. The winning tiekct will be evidently a man or a woman.— If it is a man, the million produced by the sale will be divided between him and M. Vander Cboux. He will therefore realize a clear gain of480,900 francs —If it is a woman, she will have her choice between the person of M. Van der Choux and 5(H),000 francs. W ho* soever she mav be, with as many years as hairs. M. Van der Choux engages to marry her unless she prefers 600,000 francs. In on® or the other hypothesis, her profit is evident, secure your tickets early!'

Mr. Choux expects to have disposed of all his scrip before summer is over, and has summoned a Parsian manager, of such enterprise to the Hagues to confer with him for the Paris market. He seems to have forgotton to state what wilt be the course pursued in case a married lady holds the winning ticket. So here is a lottery whose very shoestrings that of the golden ingots would not be worthy to unloose.—Paris Cot' respondent, N. Y. Herald.

LOLA MONTEZ.

Whatever Lola's talent as a dancer may be, we are assured that neiiher Taglioni, EUsler, nor Certio ever possessed such magnificent costumes as this ex-Du Barry of the age. One dress is entirely embroirdered with real pearls and trimed with fringe of the same. With this a whole suit of diamonds is worn, which is, to use a common phrase, 'fit (or a queen, as, indeed it ought to be. having bentf given by a king, and forming part of the Crown jewels of Bavaria: There is a Tyrolean dress, of which wonders are related. Besides all this, the lady prepairing for a tong dancing campaign has brought 600" pairs of satin shoes with her from Paris. She has avowedly the most beautiful foot and ancle in the world, and though her dancing is not of any school, we hear from those who have seen her that it is the most graceful and fastitiaiing. She will have a chance of wearing out all her shoes. Fanny EUsler wore out three pair of shoes a night. —N. Y. Evening Echo.

ECCENTRIC BEGGARS

Rather a ludicrous scene occurred in St. Mark's Place on Saturday afternoon, An old woman with three children was asking for 'something to help along a poor widow woman with three children' one gentleman dropped a penny in her hand. This she deemed an insult, and immediately resented it by throwing the penny at hiin, saying: 'Ye dirty blacguard, can't ye be after giving a poor widdy more than a penny? It's fine clothes ye wear, to be sure, to give the likes of Bridget McGee one cent!'— Then followed a terrible tirade ot abuse and malediction upon the head of the donor. He was completely taken by storm, and left, declaring that if he ever gave another beggar less than a shilling he hoped to be shot. It stands goood citizens in hand to be cautious what pieces they give street beggars hereafter, and particularly to the ,«iddv woman with three small children.'—N. Y. Sun.

A W sshington letter has the follow* ing reminiscence: When the great hotel on Monument Square wns in building,* Mr. Barnum told Mr. Clay, in pointing out to him some of the best apartment?, that thia was to bo designated as the President's room and that the Vice President's.— ••Ah!" said Mr.Clay."but what will you do with us poor Secretaries?" Make Presidents of you," was the quick reply of Mr. Barnum. And from that day to this. Baltimore has been a President making city.

Any sudden alarm is very apt to throw men into ridiculous actions and positions. At an alarm of fire last werk. an old covey imagining his house in a blaze, got out of bed to dress himself in such a hurry, that instead of pulling on his pantaloons, he pulled off his shirt.

MRS. CLAY.—The

New York Express

copies an article from the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian, which stated that Mrs Clay had never visited Washington, and says:

This is a very good story, and we are sorry to spoil it, but truth requires the correction. Mrs. Clay, then, in her day, has been one of the gayest and most graceful women of the Federal Metropolis, and ia so remembered by many in the District of Columbia. She has, however been an excellent wife and another, and always distinguished for her domestic qualities.

The barbers in towns in China go about ringing bells to get customers.— They carry with them a stool,a basin, a towel, and a pot containing fire When any person calls to them they run to him, and planting their stool in a convenient place in the street, shave the head, clean the ears, dress the eyebrows, and brush the shoulders, all for the value of a farthing.

A man at the east recently invited a large audience to see him enter a bottle. After settling his cash account he apologized to the audience for disappointing them, but said it was impossible to perform that feat, as he could not find a bottle large enough.

Why is,a young man hugging bis sweet-heart like an epicure who permits his wine to leak away 7

Because he is misting what he loves.

Effect the Present Tariff* We find In the Qasetle of Utica a letter from a gentleman Interested in the manufacture of woolen goods, who states, that of over 300 sets of woolen machinery that three years ago were at work making broadcloth, only 44 seta are now used for that purpose some are burned, others burst up, and others at work on other fabrics. On the whole, the writer says that one*third of the woolen machinery of the country is now idle, and, unless wool should decline 11 or 12 cents a pound from the prices of last year, one-third more will be idle in less than six months. The price of la bor in the mills Is already reduced to the lowest notch, economy of every sort ha* been carried to the extreme of meanness, and unless the furmers can be made to suffer in the value of wool, the manufacturer must stop. So great is the importation of foreign clothes un der the present tariff that American wool-growers and manufacturers must succumb.—JY. Y. Tribune.

THE SCUOOLMASTKR ABROAD.—The Troy Times says that a bill against the city, presented to the City Commissioners tho other day, opens thus —"The Onibel Coprashon Dr." We hope the 'Onibel" will "Fork over" instanter!

PUMPS! PUMtfS!

NGENUITY in all ages has been busy in de the easiest and most practicable method of obtaining water from the deep cavities of the earth. But nothing has as vet surpassed the old fashioned sucker pump. This good old principle has been greatly improved upon by Mr. FAG AN. recently in Terre Haute- Instead of the old wooden stoclt one piece, be has improved the material by a combination of iron and wooden pieces, and solar altered the old plan as by placing the plunge within ten feet of the water, to produce a material difference in the volume Of water, and also in lessening the expense. Several of these pumps are now in operation in this place—two or three at the Pork Houses—and give the moat entire satisfaction.

The undersigned, living in the town of Terre Haute, have purchased alf the improved pumps ol Mr. FAGAN, and have them for sale—and are also prepared to put them in operation for all persons who will give them a call. decl4 50-16-tT J. St J. W. BOND.

We, the undersigned,(by special request,) acting as the Board of Examiners of the Commercial Institute of Indianapolis, do certify that we have attended the examination of the present graduating class of said institution, and find said class as well acauainted with the elementary principles of Double Entry Book Keeping as could well be expected, their age and opportunities of actual practice considered. We helieve them to have received from their present Instructor, a thorough drilling in this all important branch of Commercial Education, which, if steadily observed and properly practiced upon, will render them able accountants and valuable citizens, #nd we would

recommend that the following"named members of

the present class receive Diplomas, to wit: James B. Weeks, John M. Dorsey, Hezekiah W. Roberts, Samuel J. Morris, Joseph R. Haugh, John T. Ferguson, George W. Dorsey, NirlioTa

And, in conclusion, we would congratulate the citizens of Indiana in now having it in their power to patronize a Home Institution of Commercial Education where as much information, in as short a time, and at far less expense and anxiety of mind on the part of parents and guardians, can, and we believe will be imparted, as at any other similar institution in the west.
