we propose, as speedily as possible, 10 en-
1eayor 10 settle up our books as far as may
be convenient. In the course 0fa few weeks,
we expecl to be prepared to call on our sub.
scribers, with the small amounts of their re
pectve dues, and we hope Ihey will not
think hard of us for SO doing. If it is not
convenient for them 10 pay, they have only to-
say so, which surely cen do no harm, One
of these small sums,is Of flrfling import to any
one man; but when aggrcga'ed,lhey comprise
printers revenue, keep his press in moio9,
feed and clo'te BIS family, and, meagerIy,
perhaps, supply him with the pecessaries Of
lie. Donf you see?'
SMALLPOX, ,-Don't be frightened,
read2r. There are no cases, al This time,
in The borough of Cadiz; hence you need
not. fear that The infection will be borne TO
your fire sides in the iolds of this paper. We
understand, however. that il is currently re-
ported in the surrounding country that This
loathsome and dangerous disease is devnstnt
ing on, town, aud causing uniyersaI dsmay
among the citizens thereof. Not n word of
truth IN it. We have no small pox amongst
MS, and, what's more, we doa't expect TO
have. So do not stay away ffom Cad q for
fear oi smallpox YOU run no greater risk
in coming here, than yon do plowlng and
sowing in your fields at home. The only
case near Cadz, is that Of Mr. WIN GRIMES,
a farmer, who lives about half mile from
town. There is no communication n between
the prcmires and the town. whatever.
We are sorry to learn that the reports 81
the prevalence of this disease in Jefferson
in this county, nre not without foundation
though they have been greatly exaggerated
Flom hundred ard twenty fvc cases in the
town aud surrounding county, when We
! come across correct information it cuts then
down to twenty fse! This is almost as grea
fdk as the boy made in his enumeration o
The catss
Some few cases have, also, occurred il

The Bakers Concerts.
According to announcement, the Bake
vocalists gave two concerts in Cadiz, on Sal
urday and Monday evenings last. The at
diences were the largest we have ever see
assembled on like occasion in this place. =
We cannot attempt TO give any descrptc
of their style Of singing, and will be conlel
with saying that il is peculiar to themselve
and gave perfect satisfaction to al! who hea
them, save, perhaps, u few who have "n
: music in their souls" and every body knoN
: the anathema pronounced upon this unfort
, nate class of people. The Bakerswli alwa
be welcomed 10 Cadiz, and their departu
cause regret. They go away with the kin
est wishes of our citizens, and will be &C
!, daily greeted should fate, al any future tin
i throw them in our midst.
