SMALL Pox MATTERs.-We are informed that
the people ofJunction City, Northfork and other
localities entertain serious apprehensions of dan
ger from small pox, and manifest wholesome
dread Of persons coming from weaverville.
This is but natural and prudent, and it is much
the best to err on the safe side in such matters.
At the same time we have no doubt that exao-
gerated statements have had much to do with
the existence of these apprehensions. As in
duty bound we sounded the note of alarm upon
the appearance of the disease, and urged upon
our people prompt and vigorous measures for
its suppression. health committee com
posed of our most prominent citizens, has had
the matter in charge for the last two weeks, and
has kept strict watch upon all manifestations of
the disorder. No communication has been al
lowed with the sick or their nurses except
through the Committee, and the nurses have not
been permitted to leave the infected premises
Whether It is because of the weather or our
mountain atmosphere, or both, the contagion
does not seem to scatter, and there are now no
known symptoms of small pox in Weaver
willie In the opinion of medical men and the
committee, this week determines whether the
disease has been finally arrested. Tomorrow
Sunday the committee propose to relax the
stringent restrictions hitherto enforced by them.
