CARBoLIcAL.-Gabriel, the heightened
"local Of the Horntown B6rer, read
n Of u items in last Thursdays
Nsws, whore, in speaking of the vac
~eination OF the children Of the public
schools at Virginia last summer, we iu-
c~identAlly remarked that since then
three Of those connected with the school
Of the Sisters Of Charity had had the
smallpox, and one of them died OF the
disease. Without going where he could
learn the truth Of the matter, Gabriel,
in a 1T OF carbolic indignation, came out
with an item rashly asserting that u
item was s'without foundation that
there was ''not II single case in the
school, nor had there been" Now, we
had not said the smallpox existed in
that school at the present time, but, de-
sirous Of correcting Gabricl's last
assertion, We made another item on Sat.
urday, giving the m Of some OF the
scholars belonging to that school who
had been taken with the Disease. We
arc happy to know, however, that our
informants were incorrect in giving the
name of Mary Ramshart as one Of those
who died. II was simply another little
girl who died instead of her-a mere
mistake in identity which VIC hasten to
correct and at the same time apologize
to Mary as an old friend and well wishsr
OF hers. The other two cases men,
toned by US were correct. Gabriel
opened wide his eyes he snorted. He
resolved himself into II smallpox com
mittes Of one, grabbed u fresh bottle Of
carbolic acid, and charged of down
street like q cl~othes-horse. Judiciously
taking u preparatory snuff at his acid
bottle, he mustered all HE courage aud
Yentured into the Asylum building OF
the Sisters Of Charity, where the schol-
ars were. Chow many of you have
got the smallpox gssped he, ner-
yoasly twisting the cork Of the acid
bottle in his pocket. They all laughed
at the apparent joke, doubtless mis-
taking him for a Democratic policeman
from the pewter badge they saw stuck
on his vest but directly, in order to
put the pool fellow At his ease, they re-
piled that none of them were afflicted
with the smallpox. Gabe felt better,
but still uujustly suspicious, he made "
raid of inspection through the entire
establishment, dormitories, baby-cribs,
clothes presses and all, finding every
thing, Of course, kept rs clean and neat
as wax, and a perfect pattern OF health
full neatness, order II cleanliness
throughout, just rs we could have told
him if he had only asked US. The only
thing he could find that reminded him
of smallpox was a little girl with n sore
eye, causing another ~convulsive resort
to his acid bottle, and so ho went back
home the same way that he came. Then
he wrote a crusher and published it in
the Enterprise of yesterday morning,
aiming to give US particular jesse, and
accusing US Of being possessed OF
"mischievous" desire to iujure the Sis
ters' school by leading people to believe
that they were ''criminally careless in
the management Of their establish
ment." He, however, in that item
simply corroborated what We have here
tofore said and which the Sisters do not
deny that some Of the scholars con-
nected with the school were taken with
the smallpox three or four weeks ago,
and were removed from the school in
consequence. Mary Rsmshart WAS sent
to the hospital about that time, under
the belief that she had the small pox.
Gabriel found no smallpox there at the
present time, Of course, owing to the
prompt precautions taken to get rid of
it rs soon MS it appeared neither is
anybody fool enough to suppose it orig
mated there. And now in conclusion
we simply reiterate what we have said
before, that in making mention o: the
smallpox having been among those
scholars, we were actuated by no mo-
,ives Of uarrow.minded prejudice, or de-
sire to injure in the east an institution
which we have always regarded with
feelings Of the profouudest respect, ap-
probation and esteom. We simply eS-
ercised our privilege, as we always in
tend to do, Of speaking OF smallpox
whenever and wherever we may find It
in that or any other school. We pass
over in silence and regret the unIiud
and uumerited apparent desire OF our
brother Of the reportorial pencil, espe.
cially in his hst item, to make capital
for himself to our prejudice and at our
expense, and feel heartily sorry that he
should have compelled us to say so
much about the matter as we have.
An ErFEcrUAL PREvsSrIvH.-Prerent-
ives against the dread smallpox being
in order, an exchange furnishes US the
following. We most unhesitatingly
vouch for it as a positive, sure pre-
yentive, every time /: To prevent TIA
king the smallpox, dissolve one pound
each of blusstoue, corrosive sublimate,
caustic, potash, indigo, verdigris, n
Prussian blue in two gallons OF aqua
fortis, and take one pint three times per
day in a weak mixture Of nitric and
muriatic acids, sweetoned with sugar
Of lead. As some OF the ingredients
are dangerous in large doses, no one
should take the above preventive until
after having made his will"
BUSINESS SoLlcITupE.-We know of u
chap keeping u little bit whisky dead
fall on South c street, Virginia, who is
getting terribly afraid of the smallpox.
"Dam it ALL" says he, Ga amt got no
partner, and if the cussod smallpox gifts
me and | die my whole business just
goes to ruin. 'Twould be jest my luck
to gi, busted out in business that way
BY the smallpox. The public admins
traitor would be wuss on it than the
smallpox, you bet"
NEEDED I~MPRovENxSr. We notice
tina, = sewer is being laid under tue
main street, opposite the Washington
House, on the Divide. By this means
the street will be freed from the nui-
sance of standing water aud mud SO
long existing at that point, from a con.
tiyuous China wash-house and a hotel
sewer. Transfers aud drivers OF Vent
cles generally will highly appreciate
this Improvement.
Strike IN THE IxPRRIAL.-A hne httle
vein of $50 ore was struck a day or two
