THE CoUTAD CHILDREN.-Some days ago,
we stated that the two children of Mrs. Coutad
who keeps drinking house on Broad street,
were suffering with the small pox. Mrs. c.
called at our Office yesterday evening, and in
formed us that her children had nothing but
the chicken pox, and have now nearly recover
ed; and as the report that they had the small
pox was keeping customers away from her
house she requested us to correct it. For
day or two past the little girl has been out on
the street, and from the appearance of her face
she must have had some disease almost as bad
as the small pox; we understand, however,
that the boy has not had it so hard, and is now
nearly we'll.
SMALL Pox.-We learn that Mr.. Benjamin
Marr, who lives at the saw mill near Blue Tent,
about seven miles above Nevada, is suffering
with the small pox. He has been sick for sew
eral days, and at first it was supposed he had
the measles, but physician who saw him yes
terday says he has the small pox-the pustules
having broken out all over his body. Mr.. Mari
says he has been vaccinated several times, but
the virus never had any effect on his system.
He does not know where he took the disease;
but quite number have been with him ever
since he was taken sick, and in all probability
there will be more cases in that neighborhOod.
FOURTH OF JULY.-At the meeting Of the
Fire Delegates, held yesterday evening, it was
suggested that the Department should have

with the recommendation of the Delegates, and
of large number of firemen.
