BOO iCUOLKRA AND OTIfltU DISEASES. The immense losses annually, to our people Irora the ravages of cholera among the hogs, and which has thus far bullied all efforts to arrest it, has caused the Gov ernment to appoint a committee ot gentle men, with an appropriatioa of 10.000, to investigate the causes and character of the disease, aud il possible to ascertain a .remedy. Dr. t. E. Salman ol Charlotte, N.

A LEADINU IlAI.TIMollK KIltM K3 TAIII.ISIIK8 A llltANCH HOfSE IN I,Oi;iluN. From, liiillimoru Daily Oanntlo. It is inlcresiing and grsiitying to note the (act that Messrs. Wm. IC iabc & Co., one of li iltiinore's leading manufacturing firms, has been Bolieitcl by u gieat London music house to establish an agency in that city for the sale ol their pianos throughout Great HriUm. The Loudon firm rclerred lo is the leading music house, el the Enulish metropolis, Messrs, M-i.'er & C '., of (iie it Slnilborough street, whose estab lishment is Itimiliar to all Americans who travel abroad. This gives to Messrs. Kuab; it Co., an agency coveiing all id Great Britain, and also an nutlet lor their insutitiic tits throughout continental Europe. It is, of course, unnccess irv to speak of the excellence of the Knabe pianos; but while they are so widely known throughout the United States, their reputation abroad nnd the .demand lor them in other countries than ours, to such an extent as to prompt the leading London li'io to purchase them directly, is a a event in the piano tra 'o ol America unilhy ol special mention. Bnltimote is to be con gratulated upon the enterprise of such n wide-awake and public-spitited house as that ol Knaho it Co., through whose t II irts our inaaul.ictures have gainel an enviable reputation in other countries as well as the United State. Messrs. MeUlcr it Co.'s representative visited Uiltiuiote a lew days ago and close I the final urrang- uients with Messrs Unabo iK Co., leaving with them large orders and bespeaking an extensive business in the early lulnru. A large shipment ol grand nnd upright pianos the styles most desired in Europe an cities -was made during the present week, and it is probnblu that Messrs. Kn.ihe it Co. will hud it nercssary to increase their fence ol employees to meet this extra demand, as their large lorce is now taxed to its lullest capacity in sup plying the home trade lor their instruments.
