 Dear Sirs:: Allow me, through the col. umns of your paper, to correct rumor which has gone abroad about the Small Pox at this place, much to its injury and the injury of those wishing to visit these justly celebrated springs. We have never had but one case of small-po in the neigh borhood; that occurred some time ago in family nearly mile from the hotels, good nurse was procured, and all communica- ton with our village cut of-every pre- caution was taken, it has not and cannot spread.

 Respectfully:
