Cholera in Clermont County. We are gratified to be able to say that the epidemic has apparently spent its force in this county, and is evidently subsiding. In this town, we have had butened death from Cholera during the past week, and the few other cases that have occurred have been of a mild char aeter, yielding readily to prompt med ical treatment. A little girl named Eliza Brannon, 12 or 13 years old, was attacked on Saturday and died Sunday afternoon. Her death is no doubt attri butable to imprudence in eating black berries,and exposure to the hot sun, even after the disease was upon her. We know of no bad case at the time of go ing to press, and indeed we do not know that we would be safe in reporting our town clear of the disease. Our accounts from other parts of the county are quite favorable, though occa sional deaths continue to occur. At Milford there have been four deaths within the past week, as follows: Thos. Hair, an old settler in that quarter, on Thursday; a Mr. Woolsey, on Sunday morning; a child of Dr. T. M. Brown, on Monday, and a child of J. T. Snead, on Tuesday. We learn that the wife of Mr. Jacob Cover died at Felicity of the disease on Sunday last.Cases con tinue to occur at New Richmond, Will iamsburg, New Boston, and in other parts of the county, but we have heard of no further deaths.
