business, touching here for trade, will

The Commander Of one Of our Dominion
Cutters has been here, and he said his
instructions were not to interfere with
such vessels, in regard to the purchase of
supplies &C. they will have all the privi-

As many may think that the RESTRICT ons

The SMALLPOX i'm Pm IadeIpbia.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 24.-Exaggeratedr eports
OF the prevalence Of smallpox in this city have
caused semi-official statement from the board
of health. The total number Of cases during
three weeks of October was 942; during the same
time the deaths were ISL During the first
three days of the last week the cases
reported were 25s; the last three DAYS, I5s;
showing that the disease was on the decrease
The contagion has the firmest hold in the 18th
ward, where 351 cases had occurred. This ward
Is in good sanitary condition, and the prevalence
OF the disease rs attributed TO being built on
MADE ground, which renders the houses damn
and accelerates the disease. In the Fourth
Ward-which comprises the filthiest part of
the city-only thirty-three cases had occurred.
The doctors report that those who have not been
vaccinated and are attacked by the disease, die
OF IL almost invariably. Thousands are being
yaccinated daily, and the vaccine physicians
have constant employment.

are greater than ever before. The gold quartz
from the Brigham canon ASSAYS nineteen hun

Mrs. Cooke sues Brigham Young for . 900 col

offsets to 81 900. The plaintiff was formerly a
