fluent" small pox, and on Tuesday last at a
critical stage Of the eisease the man was plaeed
in a wagon and brought down, being cx.
posed the entire day under broikAg sun. He
was not, of course, permitted to go to the hos
pital, but was taken short distance oft OF
town and properly taken care Of. In conse-
quence of the fatigue and exposure, consequent
ipon being hauled twenty miles over rUagh
road, it is hardly possible for the man to re-
cover. He might have died had he been left al
honle, but his chances Of life are muchlessen-
cd By his trip here; and the cost Of bringlng
hin must have been nearly enough to have
taken care OF him. Besides had the proper
representations been made, the county wo6ld
have paid the reasonable expense Of taking
care Of the maa- La sending small pox pa

Sha three weeks old aH6Ghe e'three-&ays old Re- |
publicaRS. The former accuse the ~new con-
Nerts" OF sdisPosi<ioR'tO control the eoRReR- !
zion, and get some ofthe of6ces. The latter, |
Eowcver, repel this charge, by asserting that
they are supporting Birdseye for the Senate,
one Of the.oldest Republicans OF the county, in
opposition to Knox, a three weeks man.
There is seine talk Of riding three-days men
out, on the ground that most Of them purpose
voting for Stevenson, but that they can hard
~ do unless they rerudiate the action of the
County Committee.
