The FIRST OUT.-It will be seen
from his announcement III another
column that our friend. Jas. Z.
Thompson is q candidate for re-elec-
ton to the Office he now holds, and
which, so far as we have heard, he
has filed with general satisfaction to
the public. We hear rumors of other
county offices being aspired to by
various gentlemen, but our columns
show nothing by authority. County
elections in this State will occur on
the 9Th of August. Sheriffs, County.
and Circuit Court Clerks, Registers
and Trustees, must be then chosen.
The election of State officers will
take place on Tuesday, the Sd of
November, this year. 1t is not too
early in the day for candidates to
let the people know, through the
OF the GAZETTE, for what
Office they shall ask for votes, es-
pecially as our charges will be no
more from this date, till the election,
than if their announcement is post
poned two or three months, or long
err. We advise all candidates to
to put their names in our announce
ment column early in the canvass.

PARABLE LOSS.

The loss to Mcfarland and Evans
is simply inealculable. In books
and Office furniture, they probably
lost $500; but their greatest loss
were numerous and valuable papers,
private and otherwise. In one brief
hour was swept away the accumulate
ed work of years A number of inn
portant files from different courts
were destroyed with the rest. To
replace some of them will be a task
of no ordinary labor; to replace
others, an insurm0untable difficulty.

hEPReSY IN CANADA.

In the Acadian village OF Tracadie, near
the mouth of the Afiramichi river, says the
Toronto Globe, there have been lepers fol-
the last eighty or ninety years. A hospi.
tai for their benefit is supported by the To-
cal government. A correspondent OF the
Church Journal. who has recently made a
visit to the establishment, says the laEdr-
etto, though well kept as far as it goes. is
much too small to furnish the requisite ac-
commodation. The sexes are kept apart,
and everything is done for the comfort OF
the unfortunates that is possible with the
means placed at the disposal of those who
manage the institution.
The leprosy from which they suffer is
elephantiasis grocorana, so called from its
tendency to make the limbs swell to ele'
phantine proportions. The disease is UNI
derstood to have been brought there by
French vessel, which, on lis return voy-
age from Smyrna, touched at the island OF
Mitylene, and took in large quantity OF
clothing and other stores, and on her way
to Beaubaris Island-a French military
port-she was wrecked near the mouth OF
the Miramichi. The people in the neigh,
borhood played the part of wreckers, ana
helped themselves to the clothes cast
ashore, which, it is supposed, were tainted
with leprosy. the consequence OF which
was that the disease soon broke out among
them. Another account is, that the yes
sci brought two lepers from St. Maloes,
and that every leper known in Tracadie
descended from one or the. other OF these
men.
The prevailing opinion there is that the
disease is not contagious. but simply he
reditary. The people have no dread oft.
and persons engaged about the lepers for
years never contract the disease. Not
only do the lepers marry among them
selves, but such IS the feeling among the
poor French in Tracadie that there is no
repugnance in many cases among per-
fectly healthy people to taking lepers for
husbands or wives The faint generally
manifests itself in every alternate gener-
alton. In this way the disease has become
permanently seated in the locality, while
the general poverty and not very clearly
habits of the French population tend to
extend and intensity it.
1t first shows itself in the form of small
white spots on the breast; then the face
assumes puffy appearance, and there is
much pain, languor, and drowsiness. The
fingers become crooked, the neck swells,
the limbs show all the symptoms OF drop
sy, the nails fall off. and at last the throat
and lungs are attacked. and the sufferer
dies, mere mass of loathsome disease.
Its duration varies from five to twenty
five years, according to the strength OF
constitution.
