The Cholera
There have been a few cases of Cholera in Dubuque,
confined principally, to the floating population - and some few
have died. To our knowledge there has been no panic or excitement
whatever in regard to it, and we have not heard of any of our
citizens flying from it - if any have done so, we can assure
them, that they can, with perfect safety, return to the bosoms of
their anxious families, and expectant friends, as there has not
been a case of Cholera in Dubuque for several days past. Our
friends at Hazel Green, who have been thrown into such a state of
excitement about the ravages of Cholera in Dubuque, may rely upon
the truth of our statement as avoe given.
Appointments By The President - By and With the Advice
and Consent of the Senate
William Stotts to be surveyor of the port of Keokuk, in
the State of Iowa. William H. Merritt to be surveyor of the port
of Dubuque, in the State of Iowa.
