Doctor Walker
IN TENDS inoculating for the Small*
Pox, at his Hospital in the county of
Buckingham, on the 20Ut ul September
r.ttant ; at which time there will be a plen
ty of fresh matter to prevent (U.appoiut
„ trueut. Those, wuo nave Had tne Cow*Pox
and wish to be certain, tii.it, t ey i amiot,
take the Small-Pox alter it, will then have
a good opportunity of putting it to the test,
which the Doctor thiuks generally neces
sary ; ns the Con-Pox frequently degene
rates into a spurious kind, that has nearly !
the same appearances, as that, which is
genuine, which docs not prevent the Small
Pox ; and also, because the disease has
been brougal into Virginia from \ariou|
sources—three of which he has found bv
experiment, to be spurious—He has also
endeavoured to za if th„ disease could pot
be produced, or found in Virginia: hirst
by inoculating die Cow, from the grease j
in the horse, after the manner of Doctor J
Tenner: Secondly, by an extensive and'
strict cxamintitiott of its being an engina:.'
disease of the Cows , but in both instances
tmsuecessful.—Therefore, to give the dis- {
ease, (in its present state in Virginia) a j
fair trial, the Doctor recommends it to.
every family, not to trust to the experi- j
ment on others, ( who are apt to be as back
ward as tneinsclves) but to send at least j
cne member of their families to try its ef
ficacy. Provided it prevents the Small
Pox, the Doctor makes no charge for his
trouble ; otherwise, his accustomed prices
of a guinea for whites, and fifteen shillings
for blacks. Those who do not avail them
selves of the present opportunity, will not
have another s.* the same place, as the
Do&or intends removing bis buildings to
liis farm for oilier useful purposes.

r\ PETITION, intended to be pre
JT'K seined to the next General Assem
bly, istiis day published, for tne cpristdet ■
fttion of the inhabitant* of the city of Rich
xnoni. The objeid of the petition is to
procure two amendments in the charie.
of incorporation. The first, is the annu
fcl instead of the triennial election of the
members of the Corporate body : The se
cond it, the exclusion of the Aldenr.cii,
f -ora the Common Hall.—Cupies of the
petition, to which Sonata;?* may lie an
.'cx'.d, will be found in the handi of

Philip J/ohboimz JVic.hqlas, <
Gzoroz Ha*,
Ti has been suggested to those who
■bring forward this petition, that many of
the citizens arc anxious to procure another
amendment, by which the power of filling
vacancies in the corporate body, will be
tr insferred from the body itself to the
people. ■ ■ —After mature consideration,
it was believed, that the convenience
of the inhabitant* would be consulted, by
leaving that power where ti is now fixed
by the charter. The only mischief that
can result from the proposed system is,that
a man, not possessed of the confidence of
the majority, may for a slu.rt time offici
ate as magistrate imd common council
man. If the first amendment mentioned
above is adopted, this mischic*' will be of
short duration, and by the first eketi n
must be removed. If on the other fund,
two or three vacancies should annually oc
cur, the duty of attending the court-house
for the purpose of supplying those vacan
cies, will be found inconvenient to <dl, and
to some extn melv oppressive.
Those, however, who approve the peti
tion, as far as it goes, and objetl to it, only
because the power of filling vacancies is
?k<: vested in the people, may «afcly unite
with those who approve ,ve petition in its
present form. They have noti.ing vise to
do, but to annex to their signatures certain
letters by which their opinion on this sub
jpil will be indicated. V. i\ (meaning 'hat
Vacancies are to be fHIcd by the People)
arc recommended fir the purpose* if a
majority should concur in the tir e of ihenc
letters, aproposition to carry their wishes
into efie6\, will of course be submitted to
the assembly. (eo 2m)
PETITION will be presented to
the next General Assembly, to pass
a lew, to oblige the Mancheste^Turnpike
Company to carry their Turnpike Road
as Straight to Falling-Creek a* no* dblr, in
order that the distance may be considera
bly shorter to travel.
