CITY lNTELLlGENCE.
The Small Por. As the public mind is a
present in state of alarm in regard to this dis
ease, we think it necessary to state that it is by
, no means so prevalent as is generally believed
We are informed by Dr. VIM. I. Leonard, the
city physician, that there are sixteen cases at
the small pox hospital, but that on account OF
their distance tlom the denseIy populated por-
ton of the city, they arc not likely to spread
the coutagion. There have been number of
cases of varcela, or chckcn-poX which rumor
! has maIntGd into varIoa or smallpox. The
latter, 1t is true, prevails TO a limited extent,
but as the winter season approaches the proba'
billy is that it will gradually diminish, and
eventually disappear. An ordinance of the
city makes it the duty of physicians to report
Immediately to the Board of Health such cases
as may come within the scope of their practice.
