SMALL Pox.-we stated last week that
this loathsome disease had made its ap-
pearance in Humboldt and Milan in a mild
form. Information thoroughly reliable
Eustsins our statements, and further that Il
has broken out in several towns in West
! Tennessee, and is now raging as an epidem-
I ic in Memphis. We again warn eur peO-
/ pie TO prepare for it by being ysccinated.-
| In these times this once fatal disease has
lest its principal terrors, owing to the
treatment established by experience and
science, and yet It is well to take all the ap-
proved precautions 10 prevent its spread
| II we avail ourselves Of these precautions
the "small pox'' is not as dangerous as
measles, but neglect them and We will pay
a fearful penalty. II is not in Jackson in
any form, and may not come here, but it is
the common promptings Of wisdom and
prudence 70 prepare for the worst.
THE COY CLUB.-We are more than
pleased to announce that the members Of
the "Cozy Club" and the day pupils Of the
Presbyterian Female College, will give lit
erary entertainments IN Tomlin's Hall, on
the nights OF the 18th and 10Th Of this
month. These entertainments will be
highly interesting, and will undoubtedly
be literally patronlzed. Their object is a
most laudable one. II Is to increase the
astronomical, chemical and philosophical
apparatus Of the Presbyterian Female Col
lege, and thereby enable DR.. Bright to make
his weekly scientific lectures more practi-
cal, demonstratiye, and hence instructive
70 his audiences. Let every sne, DESTROYS
Of promoting the intellectual growth Of
Jackson attend these meetings a rare
feast is in store, and worthy object to be
subserved. Price of admission 10 the Hall
on the 18th and 18th is only 80 cents.
POULTRY EPIDENnC.-A most strange
and fatal epidemic is raging throughout
the North among the poultry. Its symp-
toms are sneezing, coughing, running at !
the nose, swelling Of the throat, inflamma- |

heart, stomach and brains. It is called the |
pullino-iebro-sinci petal-snasarehal-bul |
osity," or the pansthli-nosos-kimOs-o !
ephalitis, or the gaena- agus-biah-moragha, |
or the daoesachumigeryrit zhyenzahenwit- |
mitz. The following remedy is recon- !
mended: Apply tar water, turpentine and /
Holland gin to the teCtrices msiores, the |
tectrlces minores, the huxura and the hui
meri. Our duty as a public journalist is |
sufficient justification fer the above publ |
cation. We will state further that when |
ever this fearful epidemic makes its ap- /
pesrance, the remedy given above will /
prove almost infallible.

served him right.
