This is a most outrageous lie. We be-
licve that when the smallpox was at its
worst in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati, there were never more than
90 or 30 new cases in any one day in
either city, with from len to thirty times
the population of Wheeling. The simple
truth is, that there is less smallpox in
Wheeling than there is of any other
serious disease. Our information is, AMI
we believe it correct, that there are now
but two cases in the city; and this out ora
population Of twenty-threc thousand. The
paragraph above quoted shows the object
