From letter written by friend AZ lsdiasa-
Pnlis, we extract the following notice Of IN excel
lent bill which We have not seen reported else
, who're. We understand several scoundrels Of
this e'ass frequently visit OUR place, with their
faro banks and roulettes, and ent;ce the younger
portion Of cur community into their company and
wickedness. Such men are the most incasnats
f'ends that Prowl about our country, and no law
could be too severe for their sins. They contain
mate the fountain which will in all alter life,
send forsh its foul waters upon community, unless
some almost supernatural power should stop it,
source We hope this subject may receive the
serious ate ntion Of the legislature and that this
ball may also pass the Senate, one more severe
even imprisonment for life. Such beings should
be separated altogether from virtuous comnuni-
~.
ishing severely, persons convicted Of being rcgu-
lar gamblers, Or who pass through the country
with gambling apparatus; the punishment is PEN
itentiary for, from ono to FIVE years, and dsfran-
chisemcni for . term not exceeding five years at
tbs discretion Of the Jury"
0rWe have been compelled to exchange our
tripod this week for the "composiag stick" and
thus forgo the pleasure Of "boring' our readers
with our own remarks. However, we will say,
that we enabled BY the kindness ofJohn Cain,
Postmaster at Indianapolis, to give readers
more and later intelligence from our legislature
than we have been enabled to do heretofore. We
understand that he has repented of his sins and
n II novloduAA HE ;unoranrn ~,r.oouo~sl,,
may hope to expect hereafter to have papsss
sent directly to US, instead Of via. Columbus.
CoUNrEHFETrs.-We are Informed that there
are q great many countcrfeiis, on the CONNER
cial Bank Of Cincinnati, in circulation through
this state. They are Of tho denomination Of len
dollars, and on plate, unlike any ever issuedby
the Bank.
BOARD OF HEALTH SMALL POX.
To arrest the diffusion Of false rumors, and 10
give tho public correct information, respecting
the existence Of smallpox in this borough, the
Boari Of Health met on the 9th. inst, and nooni-
mated two Of its members to ascertain the actual
number of cases Of said dacaan- and $1,000 Ia
result Of their Investigations TO the comm~~;sv.
In compliance with the direction Of the Board, We,
the aominased members, have paid such attention
to the subject, as II seemed TO demand; and re-
port ~ follows:
On Marion street, We found one family, resi-
ding adjacent the dilapidatcd stone building At
tho corner Of Main and Marion, four Of the mem
bers Of which had been attacked with said disease;
one Of these had died; the remaining three had
recovered. Further north on the same street,
we found a single individual who had recently
recovered from a very mild variolous attack.
We believe, that At this time, there does not
! exist case Of smallpox in the borough; and We
desire that any rumor, contradcting this state
ment, may be received as altogether grouudless.
And, to aliay any needless appretensions in the
minds Of such as have occasion to visit town, we
assure them that shall hereafter Immediately
report any cases Of said disorder which may ap-
pear in the borough; all statements, therefore, al
variance with our reports, should be considered
a. unfounded. BY order Of the Board.
