The rain which has set in to-day was very much needed all over the country, and by way of flushing the drafta la the streets it comes as a greit boon,

When we state that as many as 30 fatal cases fcholera are reported as taking place in the city daily, we think it will be admitted that this part of the provinca is having rather more than its share of trouble at present.
