11/07/1832	DEATH OF JUDGE BIBB - The last mail brought us the following afflicting news of the death of Judge Bibb, one of the Judges of the Superior Court of this Territory, appointed in the room of Judge Bibbs. We had not the pleasure of his acquaintance, but understand he gave a general satisfaction to the people of his Circuit, in which he held the Courts at the last Spring term, and we have no doubt his death will prove a great loss to the Bench of the Superior Court. We learn with deep regret the death of Charles S. Bibb, Esq. recently appointed United States Judge in the Territory of Arkansas. He died at his brother-in-law's, near the Yellow Banks, on Monday, 15th October, having been attacked the morning before with the Cholera. He was the oldest son of George M. Bibb, United States Senator from Kentucky. - Russellville Messenger.

11/07/1832	PREVENTION OF CHOLERA Camphorated Burgandy Pitch Plasters. The Burgandy Pitch Plasters are recommended physicians of the eastern cities, as a useful preventative for the Cholera, and are admitted by all to be in no case injurious. They have been successfully used in several parts of Europe, where the disease was much more aggravated and malignant than it has yet presented itself in this county, and it is stated that out of a large number of persons who make use of these plasters, there was not a case of death from the Cholera. The addition of Camphor in the composition of the above plasters, has been found highly advantageous, and will render them much more efficient, and altogether superior to the common plasters, as a preventive for the Cholera. These plasters are neatly and carefully prepared and sold by RITCHIE & VAN PRADELLES Druggists and Apothecaries Little Rock, November 6, 1832
