CHOLERA.
Madison, Indiana. June 24.
We presume our patrons will require no apology for presenting
them with an 'Extra.' If they do we can only refer them to the
derangement, distraction and distress, that have prevailed here
during the past week, occasioned by the ravages of the cholera.
Some of our hands left the office; the sick, the dying; and the
dead, claimed our attention; our co-editor amongst its earliest
victims—all combined to derange our affairs, and prevent the
issuing of a full sheet. From present appearances, however, we
presume we shall be able to continue our regular publication
next week. We cannot at this time announce to our readers the
entire subsidence of the cholera amongst us; but we can say it
no longer prevails as an epidemic. During the last two or three
days, there have been a few occasional cases, some of which
proved fatal,—but generally, they yielded to medial aid.
We think the disease has been more violent and rapid in its
progress at its late visitation, than it was in the fall of
1832. At that time there were 60 cases and 27 deaths reported to
the board of health; at this time, the number of cases has not
as yet been ascertained, but the deaths amount to 32. Twenty one
were announced in our last paper, and the name of one victim,
Mrs. Martin, who died before our paper went to press, was
omitted, making 22 up to that time. Since thursday morning last,
up to 12 o'clock on yesterday (Wednesday,) the following persons
are reported to us as having died of that disease, viz:—

Making 32 in all who have died within the corporation. We have
heard of no new cases to-day (Wednesday) but the humidity of
the atmosphere, and the intense chilliness of the air admonish
us to be prudent, and to [undecipherable]
cholera yields to medical skill, if promptly applied, put if the
premonitory symptoms are neglected, it soon obtains the mastery.

Cholera.—We regret to learn that this dreadful disease
continues its ravages in the vicinity of the Red Lion with
increased virulence. Since our last paper, it has proved fatal
in the following cases;—Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Priscilla Thompson,
son of Mr. Rosser, Joseph Green, Benjamin Gustin, sen.; Hannah
Gustin, John Bogart, James Gallaher second son of Mr. Olinger;
and Dr. Joseph Stanton, of Springborough. Since the commencement
of the disease, Friday the 12th instant, eighteen persons have
died in the neighborhood of the Red Lion. Dr. Stanton, when
taken, was on his way to visit a patient in the infected
neighborhood; in which he had attended many cases before, He
immediately returned home, and in a few hours, not perhaps more
than 8 was a corps.
