SMALL Pox IN WAsHoE CoUNTY.-The
Reno Crescent of Saturday last publishes
the following for what it is worth We hope
our physicians especially will take the trou-
bic to read this article. Al is well known
eight patients have been sick at the foot of
the Geiger Grade, lately, with what phys
icians have termed the small pox. OF the
eight sick four have died and the rest are
not yet recovered. Living near the place is
a Chinaman of unusual intelligence. He
has seen these patients and ne says their
disease is not small pox. but is the regular
black measles of China. He says that in
China the disease is much more fatal TO
adults than to children, that in the district
from which he came all children are ex-
posed to it and made if possible to have it.
He says the ike precaution is not enforced
in other provinces, and that Chinese emf
grants from some of these places have
brought The disease to San Francisco, from
whence it has spread all over the coast. Is
it not possible that this mans statement is
entitled to consideration. We believe phys
iciaIls have disagreed on both the fatal cases
of this place. Some saying il was real |
small pox others that it was fever. Is it |
not possible that oOth theories have been at
fault. Would it not be well to give the sick |
the benefit OF the doubt and upon the hint
given BY this barbar ian commence investi- |
cation. 1t is certainly true that having the
small pox formerly is not a protection
against this disease. It is also true that
this disease assumes a malignancy never
known before Of small poX on this coast,
also that the usual proven tatiyes for small
pox ia in efficacy against this disease, and
that persons stricken die often before their
friends realize they are sick.

TIE DEED OF GoTH-About a year and
half ago resident of this city, who is
im5ued with the true spirit of the sports
man, placed some twenty-five trout, large
and small, in an incline shaft in Lander
hill, in which there was copious spring of
water. The trout were taken from Reese
river at different times and brought carefully
to their new home. The sportsman was an
-: honest m iDer," whose cabin was near by
the trout pond, and it was his habit to feed
his fishes daily; and after few months his
call or whistle, or tread even, would fetch
his pets to the surface. Their shyness
passed off gradually, and they would dart at
and almost touch his hand that held their
tidbits of minced meat. In a little while
longer they might have been taken in his
hand and caressed. But just tnen circum-
stances transferred their human friend from
the mine to the work bench, and his visits
became less frequent from month to month.
He saw and fed them occasionally, however,
and observed with pleasure that every men,
Der of the mess was on the alert for his
and that they were increasing in
size and beauty. After rather 4 long inter-
val he went to his trout spring and whistled
and called in vain. for not a single one oil
his pets appeared. He was not long in sus-
pense as TO the cause, for while looking
around near the margin Of the water he |
saw . hook and line by which some goth |
had lured his pets to destruction. Our friend |
believes firmly that the same barbarian |
wOuld eat baby.-R. Il. Rereil2e.

THAT CUTTING AFFRAY AT VIRGINIA.
|. seems that our item concerning cutting
s-rape at Gold Hill, which appeared in our
sundays issue, was incorrect in two par
,;culars. In the first place it did not take
place at Gold Hill, and in the next place
James Rule was not the man who was stab
BED. The Enterprise OF Sunday gives the
following particulars of the ARRAY which did
happen:
Day before Yesterday (Christnas) morn
ing, about 8 o'clock, Edward Rule, engineer
Of the Lady Bryan mill, Flowerv, was very
badly and it was thought for time fatally
stabbed, BY some unknown person. 1t ap-
pears that large parties at two saloons en-
North C street were singing and having a
good time together-according to their no.
tons of good tirie-and that a couple of
those in the lower saloon lat the Aiedin
building; became very much intoxicated,
when their friends concluded to send them
home. The "guardians who undertook
the task of seeing the inebriated gentlemen
home were themselves ''half seas over" and
ii getting started there was much confusion,
AL bands falling down and rolling upon the
foor. Some Of the police now made their
appearance. thinking a fight was going on.
The crowd tG., to explain matters ami OBJ
jected to any arrests being made. All parties |
got out upon the street and finally came in |
front OF the second saloon (Sam Horn |
b-ook's), where others mingled in the muSs, !
the policemen striving to take away some of |
those who we're making the most noise, and
others trying TO prevent any arrests being
made. Rule was MIXED up with the wran-
c.crs, and in the row received four cuts in
the abdomen by some person whom he did
not know. Being il the thick of the fracas,
lie was arrested and taken away by the Off
GERS, and it was not until liter he had reached
the station house that it was discovered that
he was wounded. Ii was found that he had
received two cuts in the right groin and two
otheIs in the right side Of the abdomen, be-
low the naval From one Of the latter his
bowels protruded in a frightful manner.
Medical assistance was at once procured,
and the wounded man was taken to the Mer- r
chants Exchange Hotel, where he is still
wing. At first 1t was thought that the
wounds were of fatal nature, but it now {
appears that the intestines were not cut and
that the wounded man will most probably re-
cover. One or two men have been arrested I
na suspicion of having done the stabbing, I
but the whole affair seems to be of rather a '
mysterious nature. Rule himself says he
does not know who cut him, and it would
seem that all hands were too much intoxi- {
Gated to know just what did happen. Mr.. a
Rule is very quiet man and appears to I;
favs had very little to do with the row that }
was going Oh, except in the character Of s
PEACE maker. a

What an American has Done Abroad
From the Scientific American.

| From the Scientific American
Mr. F. Watkins, of the London Works
Birmingham, England, arrived in the Scotia
few days ago, and will make tour, before
his return, through the Western and South
ern States, on usiness connected with his
manufactures. Mr.. Watkins was born in
the United States, where he resided until
1856, when he went to England to introduce
his patent machine for making bolts and
nuts. His object in going abroad was to sell
his patents, expecting to realize large sum
on them. In this he was disappointed, and
after spending some $4,000, and much eff
fort, he abandoned the hope of disposirg of
his patents, and commenced, on small
scale, the manufacture OF bolts and nuts I'M
der the title of The Patent Nut and Bolt
Company. At the expiration of TWO Years,
the demand FOX his machinemade goods had
become so great that M. Watkins time and
energies were tested to their full extent in
augmenting the number of his machines,
and extending his works until they covered
some five acres, and the number of hands
employed to about five hundred; the product
OF which was about fifty tuns of bolts and
nuts per day. The works Of our enteIprising
American have continued to be enlarged, and
now they cover an extent of twenty-four
acres in the city Of Birmingham, aud the
hands employed number about twenty five
hundred-producilg one hundred tuns per
day of these small goods. The capital stock
CT the London Company which has so quick
iy sprung from such beginning, under the
of our energetic countryman,
is now S2.000.000, Mr.. Watkins informs US
that his shipment of cotton bale ties to this !
will reach this year the enormous |
quantity OF six or seven thousand tuns.
The prime object of Mr.. Watkins visit at
this time is to establish agencies and to re-
ceiye orders for railroad supplies. of which
he is undoubtedly the largest manufacturer
in the world.
Mr.. Watkins tlste for inventions has not
abated since he first took out patents some
sixteen years ago; and notwithstanding his
immense business cares, when he visits this
which is about once a year, lie
brings with him several new inventions on
which he obtains patents, making oath to
he papers as a citizen of the United States.
The career of Mr.. Watkins is a remarkable
Xample Of YANKEE enterprise and success.
