SMALLPOX PRECAUTIONs.-We have

those who have means of information,
that are now no less than 5000 cases

the many thousands Of visitors now con.
Fegated there are not contaminated with
AwOBe poison than the GREELEY virus
all paris Otthe country will have reason
to be thankful. We trust the visitors
from this city will escape scotiree. There
IS not now and has not been for near
two months, case of small pox in this
city. We doubt il the same is true Of any
city Of like magnitude in the coun.
Try With constant and intimate commu.
nlcation With Baltimore there is Of
course constant exposure to fresh
lnpOrtations Of the disease. But
The danger was even more imminent some
months ago when Pittsburgh, Steuben.
vile and other neighboring cite were
anlc'edi and If through the judicious
management Of our health authorities
Teescaped then with comparative immu.
aity, when the city had no smallpox hos.
pi'al' we should expect now with the
same vigilance on the parto oil the Health
oiileeF and the aid Of hospital that any
fresh appearance OF the disease would be
Stamped out even more successfully than
before AT the same time, all should re.
member that while the disease RACES with

haole to encounter the contagion: es.
peelally should no one think of travelling
Without being thoroughly vaccinated.

Card from W. c. Bryant..He is NOT
Presidential Asnirant.

New York, July S.-The following
card was published today:
Certain journals of this city have
spoken Of me as one ambitious OF being
nominated as candidate for the Presi.
denCy OF the United States. The idea is
absurd enough, not only on account Of
my advanced age, but my unftness in
various respects for the la6ors OF so emf.
nent post, do not however object to
the discussion of my deficiencies on any
other ground, than 1t is altogether super.
tluous, since It is impossible that I should
receive any formal nomination, and equal
ly impossible II It were offered, that l
should commit the folly Of accepting 1t.

Rev. Browne..Browne Arraigned
for Murder.

CINCINNATI, July S.-The shocking
tragedy reported last night, in which
pioneer and respected citizen shot and
killed The boy Schikk while trespassing on
his grounds, is the common theme of the
day, and is most profoundly regretted by
Mr.. Brownies friends. II appears from
additional evidence that the boys had
trespassed on his grounds for the purpose
Of stealing fruit twice during the lore.
noon, and had been driven away; and in.
stead Of the boy having entered the yard
for lost ball, number Of boys came
seeking fruit. 1t appears, too, that
Browne has been in the habit of shooting
to scare away the boys. Whether in this
case he fred at random or took aim, will
probably only be developed in the official
examination.
CINCINNATI, July S-Evening-The
Rev. Samuel ]. Browne was arraigned
today before the Police Court for the
murder OF the boy Schikk, and on motion
Of the Prosecuting Attorney the case was
continued till Thursday to enable the

PnosAsLY one cause for the anxisty
manifested BY some Of the Radicals to
maintain the validity Of the election OIL
members Of Congress in August is the
difficulty they will otherwise have in
disposing of Hon. JOIN j. DAVIS.
Having voted for him in August in con
sideratiou of his services against the
Constitution, they will render them
selves liable to the charge Of ingrati-
tude if they 60 back on him at the legal
election in October. At the same time,
the consideration having failed and
there being no longer anything
for the Radicals to gain by eat
ing the. fragments of cold crow
left over from their August repasL il
will De rather difficult to persuade the
party 70 vote for DAvIssin October. In
this dilemma the tricksters are con
tending that Notwithstanding he Au.
gust election was absolutely null and
void and Of no validity whatever, it'was
a good enough election for members
of Congress, AID Governor JACOB should
give DAVIS and HAsANs certificates &c
that effect. They want to get DAVIS of
their hands some how and they are moi
very particular as to what becomes o
their logic or their consistency.

Terrible Aecident-CareIes Han
rllIing or Fire Arns. q,
On Saturday morning last young
man by the name Of George Kidd,
some sixteen years of age, residing
near the forks Of Coal river, 10 this
county, was handling rifle carelessly,
apparently, preparatory to q days hunt.
In the course of this process be put his
mouth over the muzzle OF the gun as if
to ascertain whether or not the connec-
ton between the barrel and tube was
clear, and pushing the hammer back
With his foot, began to blow, but ct this
instant the hammer slipped discharged
the cap which, unknown to the victim
was upon thee tube. aud sent a full
charge from, the gun into his mouth,
Kidd vas not standing directly oyer the
fire arm at the time, and the ball took
course through the right side OF the
face, making ternbleIwork as, it went,
and, finally lodged just baekiof the eye,
in the lower part OF the temple Ygdt
DR., Comstock. Of this city, was sum-
moned later inCthe. dsys and rbaying
gone to the place indicated found the
young man in a prscarious condition.
Tue ball is stillinF the victims head,
imbedded in q perfect pulp of crushed
bones which were 80 rendered by the
whirling motion of the, bullet. "A por-
ton of the broken bone upon the right
eide Of the face has been removed, and
other proceedings taken necessary to
therremovsl Of the projectiie, which,
from the Lature Of the case, will be a
very difficult thing to accomplish. q 1t
is needless to cay that the condition Of
the young man is still dangerous in the
extreme, suffering as he is, not only
from the decorations of his face by the
bullet, but also from the serious burns
about his face and mouth, made by the
fire from the discharge.
