alarming extent, and nothing whatever Is being
done by the socalled health authorities to check
Its progress IL has extended TO the lower

Pavonia avenue Fourth, Fifth and Stenben streets.

VACCIN ATE.

The city council on Monday the l4th
inst, adopted the following resolution;
Resolved That the board of health be,
and is hereby instructed TO employ not
exceeding three suitable persons, whose
duty it shall be to visit all families or
persons resident in the districts or wards
severally assigned TO them by the board,
and vaccinate all persons not vaccinated,
and all who may require to be revaccin-
ated, taking down the name, age, color
and place Of residence of each person vac
cinated by them, and of all persons who
are not, and who may refuse to DO vac
cinated.
The persons so employed shall act under
the direction of the board of health, and
shall use none but the best vaccine virus
or matter procurable here, the same to be
furnished them by the board. They shall
thoroughly canvass such districts or wards
as may be assigned to them, and shall
make a full repcr, every week TO the
board Of health. They shall also collect
from all persons vaccinated who are able
to pay therefor, the sum Of twenty-five
cents, and shall note the same in their re-
ports TO the board"
The three persons employed for the pur-
pose set forth in the above resolution are
Drs. Evans, Parker and Sulivan.-Dr.
Evans taking that part of the city
below Sixth street, DR.. Parker
that part between Sixth and
Fourteenth streets and DR.. Sullivan
that part above Fourteenth street.
These gentlemen will be furnished with
the best vaccine matter, and it is hoped
that all the citizens Of Cairo will cooper
ate with and assist them in their work so
that it may be as thorough as possible.
These measures or arrangements have
been deemed necessary chiefly on account
of our connection by river and railroad
with other cities where the smallpox
seems to be very prevalent, and the sp.
proach Of cold weather renders it very
important that there be as little material
as possible for it to feed upon during the
coming winter. TIE day has passed wher
arguments were required in favor of vac
cina,ion. Experience, observation and
the Investigations Of science have set thu
matter at rest long ago. If we will moi
vaccinate out of considerations Of safety
to ourselves, let US remember that the pub
lie have, if we have not, an interest in ouI
protection against this dreadful disease.
