a HARD CASE OF SMALL-pox.-A poo

aud children, have just recovered from
the smallpox, in order to prevent the
disease from going any further if posi-
ble,.two or three days ago took their
bedding, clothes, etc., used during the
long and fearful siege of sickness, out
into a vacan space and Judi ciously
made bonfire of the same. Some Of
his hard-hearted neighbors living to the
leeward, conceiving the idea that the
smoke thus created was u dangerous
propagation Of smallpox instead of being
in reality u disenfectant, went and had
the poor fellow arrested. He gave bail
for his appearance before the Police
Judge yesterday. We are pleased,
however, to record that better counsel
prevailed and the prosecution was 6nal-
" dropped. IT'S well. 1t was rough
enough on tue poor individual to have
both himself and family reduced almost
to bsggary by the smallpox, without
being afterwards given into the clutches
Of the police for burning up valuable
bedding and clothes just to keep the
disease from getting ont among those
very neighbors who had him arrested.
lie was indiscreet. He should have
done like some other folks up there in
Horntowu-sent the bedding to An auc-
tionstore, and the clothing to 4 China

OPERA HOUSE CLosED.-Piper's Opera
House will remain closed for some
weeks unless Mr.. Piper should effect an
engagement with some attraction, the
L.yster Opera Troupe, for instance, ut
an early date. The opera would be n
decided novelty in this section, and take
we'll. Parepa- Rosa's entertainments
were merely concerts, and not the opera
at AL. The Lyster Opera Troupe is in
San Francisco; and although bringing
them over here would he nm expensive
experiment, yet, we doubt not, il wonld
be n successful one. Piper, however,
is the only "A in this community who
has nerve and bottom sufficient to try it.
The Opera House, however, will remain
closed until Miss Annette lnce and John
Mccullough, with II powerful dramatic
company and II series of new and rich
plays, come Owe here, which will he in
about six weeks.
