prominent physicians on Tuesday, he in
: formed us that we might safely say there
have been but tlcO new cases in the last two
weeks. Let those who have been instrl-
mental in promulgating alarming rumors take
this fact and circulate IT, We reiterate our
: assertion of last week-that as vet not cess

Stoops, has died since our last issue. lie had
the small pox. but il was thought he was fast
recovering, when he was taken with the Ery-

wife is also very bad with the small pOx; in
