he received from the atten ling physician
certificate that Mr. Barkley died Of
Hcmorrhagia This certificate was given
by responsible physician Of this city,

Indeed it is well known that agents of cx-
press companies arc forbidden 20 receive
the bodies of persons who died OF small
pox, and tho fact that Mr.. Pink holds the
certificate and that the remains we're
shipped by the Southern Express compan y
should put rest to all such reports.
Hearing 1t also reported that member
OF Mr.. Rexford's family had the smallpox,
