A NUISANCE SUIr.-Mr. Kirk, whose
cabin on the hillside opposite the Vesey
House has been used for some time past
as y sort of private smallpox pest
house, was arrested as q dangerous
nuisance, at the instiga.ion Of some OF
his n~eighbors, and brought before JUS
tics Cook, The principal complaint
against him was that he had taken out
a lot of bedding on which q patient had
recently died, and burned the same, TO
the great disgust and danger OF those TO
the leeward, who got fumigated by TINS
vile pestilential smoke. The seem to
ignore the fact that the smoke was far
less dangerous than the infected air
from the bedding and cabin constantly
issuing forth into the atmosphere
around, and which could NOT, like
smoke, be seen ; and from the very mo-
ment FIRE was applied to it, puritaction
commenced and disease and infection
were totally destroyed, together with
the bedding aforesaid. There IS lar
more danger in a person keeping or act
ing a. q nurse in such pest-house dis
tributing or communicating tho disease
by being allowed to pass freely among
outsiders whenever and wherever he
may choose, than from any smoke and
as far as nuisance is concerned, no man
has a right to burn bedding, clothing
or ANYTHING Of the kind, whicfcan Gre
ate n dirty, sinking smoke where he
can seriously annoy or disgust MS
usighbors. Smoke of any kind is I'M
wholesome to breathe, even that from n
common chimney or stove-pipe. The
smoke inhaled at the burning OF the 81.
Louis Brewery, Virginia, was the pri-
mary cause Of the death OF Chief WI
lock Of the Fire Department, and there
are others whose lungs have never yet
recovered from its pestilential effects:
That terrible smoke was mostly created
nv the burning coal oil, bedding, furni-
ture. ETC., within the building, and IN
reality WAS q thousand times more in
furious and fatal in its effects than n
dozen smallpox mattresses, even were
they 10 be burned in the middle OF the
public street.
A SAD AccIDENr.-E. \. Freeman,
blacksmith at the Ogden mill, SiN.mtie
Canyon, near Virginia, was the untor-
inmate man whom we made brief men,
ton of Yesterday as having mis- leg bad
IL broken. It appears that he was as
sisting to put II new stamp stem into the
battery, to replace IL broken one, when,
by the slipping of the hosting shatt,
the stem, Weighing some 700 or 500
pounds, fell. In trying TO escape 1t he
tripped and fell over backward, aud the
stem came down on his leftankle, crush
ing il in n terrible manner. Drs. Bron-
son, Collins and Cleburnc were sent for
and rendered AL the surgical assistance
in their power, but, from the nature Of
the injury, amputation will probably
have TO be resorted to. Mr.. Freeman is
a hard working young man of steady,
correct habits, and has numerous friends
to sympathise NTH him in his sad mis-
fortune.
