A WARNING TO THOSE WHO NEGLECT
VAccINATIoN-Two children of MI. James
Harrod, residing in this county, near Hus-
bands Forge, were recently taken i'll with
what was supposed at first to be attacks OF
chicken-pox, or something of that nature ;
but upon q physician being called in, he pro-
nounced the disease to be yirulent smallpox.
A neighbor of Mr.. Harrod's, who had been
vaccinated, was attacked with varioloid, and
there is little doubt but that Mr.. HIS children
contracted the smallpox from contact with
that disease. The children of Mr.. II. have
fortunately nearly recovered but this shows
the importance of persons seeing that them
selves and families are on the safe side, by
being properly vaccinated.

THE ToURNAMENT.-At the risk of SEEM
ing to intrude this subject too frequently upon
the notice of our readers we again call atten-
ton to the Hartford Tournament, to take
place near here this summer or early fall
AS indicated by the name, it is to be coun.
ty affair, although our neighbors of Balti-
more county have been invited and will par
ticipate on the OCCASION The ground has al
ready been secured, and the names of many
gentlemen handed in to the committee, who
will try their skill as knights Also it is
designated to invite a gentleman of promi-
nence to deliyer the address, whose name
will be announced in due time, and whose
Grafton will be feature of tho day. A full
band of music will be in attendance. We are
authorized to state that the committee having
this matter in charge are making every effort
to perfect arrangements for this tournament
that will render it an imposing and interest
ing display But their efforts to ensure sue
cess must be co-operated in by the citizens
generally. 1t is only by general interest
throughout the county that it can be render
ed an occasion that will be worthy of our
first attempt to hold a tournament in Har-
ford. One ground upon which it appeals to
our people for support is the excellent oppor-
tunity it will afford to show the speed and
appearance of the many excellent horses
which we know are owned in this county
On such an occasion it is expected that this
shall be considerable part of the display
Let us see to it that expectation in this re-
gard is not disappointed. To any wishing
to participate, OF to obtain any particulars in
relation to the tournament, information will
be furnished by the chairman of the commit
