LOCAL AFFAIRS.


THE DISEASE AGAIN SPREADING.
The report Of the President Of the Board Of
Health, elsewhere published shows an increase
in the number OF smallpox cases for tho past
two weeks. which. although not alarming. will
serve TO show THAT there is great laxity ia pre-
cautionary measures somewhere. The heated
term has been anxiously looked Toward to by
many in the hope tkat it would abate ths disease
but It has failed to afford the expected relief
Some Of our physicians have pretended to say
that the long protracted dry weather operated
az a promoter of the small pox, but this Ia mega
tived by the fact that since the late rains the
spread Of the oontagion has been more rapid
than at any time since the advent OF warm wealth
err Other persons say that this increase is at
tributed to the too early mingling in society of
those who have recovered from the disease,
while others again believe il is communicated by
deposting material from sick rooms upon vacant
lots in different parts Of the city. Which of
these theories the correct one, if either is 80.
we are unable to say, but il is evident that the
disease is spreading again, and some strict
precautionary measures should be taken at once.
The President of the Boardof Health requests
us to ask the people of Wilmington to desist
from the practice Of throwing infected articles,
or articles of any kind, upon the vacant lots,
and says that he will enforce the full penalty Of
the law against all offenders.
