BLACK Hills Gold.

PROFESSOR JANNEY INSISTS THAT THE REPORTS
HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED.
WARRINGTON, July G.-Walter P. Janney, ge-
ologist Of the Black Hills expedition, in letter
to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. dated
June %, says: While examining tho gravel de-
posits at tho North Bend Of CASTLE Creek, he
found gold in small quantities, in 'bars" or
terraces" of alluvial quartz, gravel resting on
the bed rock, about ten feet above the present
level of the stream The area of these bars
was quite limited. The gold in them had ev-
identity been furnished by the quartz
veins traversing the states along the
stream. There was considerable excitem ent
among the soldiers and teamsters about gold
on the arrival of the expedition on French
creek, but as no one obtained, even by several
hours hard labor, more than a few cents worth
of gold dust, none Of the command was after
wards seen working for the precious metal
About fifteen miners have located claims on
the creek. The reports they give Of the rich
moss OF the gravel bars are greatly exaggerated
Mr.. Janneys prospecting shows general diff
fusing Of small quantities Of gold over u large
area. He had sunk shaft OF Is feet to bed
rock near the stockade, and obtained but a
trace of gold. Nothing has as yet been discov-
cred to warrant extensive mining operations.
He intended examining the country to the
north OF Harneys Peak. Mr.. Janney sends
with his letter small grains of specimen gold.

GREENWOOD, DEL, July G.
The 4th OF July was appropriately celebrated
here on the 3rd. A beautiful and pleasant grove
one mile from town was chosen as the scene Of
exercises. Persons living many miles away be-
gan to assemble about 2 p. m. in such number
that, at o'clock, there we're no less than one
thousand people upon the grounds. Every one
seemed jubilant and delighted. Everything
worked well and harmoniously. Tho Seaford
Cornet Band WAS present.
Brief but stirring addresses were delivered by
Rev. E. p. Ecock, Of Bridgeville, and j. Penne-
will, OF Greenwood.
After the speaking was over, the majority of
the Sussex club, of Greenwood and became the
spectators TO lively and interesting match
game between the Centennials Of iBrdgeville,
and the Sussex of Greenwood. 1t will be re-
membered that,previo1sly, each club had won
game, 30 that the present was to be the last and
decisive "rub" Of the series. After contest
vigorously disputed throughout the Sussex nine
succeeded in vanquishing their opponents by
the following score /: Sussex, 30 Centennials,
25. The game WAS mpartially umpred by j.
H. Randolph, of Brooklyn.
The concert which had been well arranged by
Mr.. T. Sharp, and which was expected to take
place in the grove at O'Clock in the evening,
was postponed.
However, the day throughout was all that
could be. desired, and it seems to be the wish OF
all that such days may be more frequent in the
future than they have been here in the past.

CONTAGIOUS Diseases.

THE EMAIL FOX AND THREE DEATHS WITHIN TWEEN
TY FOUR HoURs-How SCARLET FEVER AND
wHooPING COUGH BECOME EPIDEMIC.
Within the last twenty-four hours, three deaths
from small pox have occurred in this city, and
the continued spread of tho disease, under the
fdrerse condition OF the weather. is attracting
considerable attention thereto. There are now
known to be six cases Of the small pox in the
city, one of which is newly reported, and all are
in the Second Ward. Two patients have been
removed to the hospital.
The manner in which the small pox has been
communicated to the Second Ward, whore there
had not been case OF it since the epidemic Two
or three years ago, is not known. Physicians
suppose, however, that it has been done in a
careless way. Persons who have had the dis
ease and arc not afraid of 1t 30 far as they are
concerned, rush into it to see their friends and
return to their families without a change
OF clothing. 1t is i'll this way that the
present spread OF the. disease. is peiieved u
have occurred. So with the scarlet fever
and other epidemics. A distinguished physi-
clan has given it as his opinion that contagion
may even be communicated by means OF cats
and dogs visiting families where they exist and
bringing the poisonous eifluvia away in their
coats OF hair. All contagion docs not proceed
from an impregnation OF the atmosphere, ana
with the proper precautions many OF the epldem-
les abroad may be confined to narrower limits.
A physician residing in this city went out ON
an excursion, the other day, and his attention
was attracted to the violent coughing of a child
in the arms of its mother. 1t had the whoop-
ing cough. And yet, all around it WAS group
OF sympathizing children, who were inhaling the
very air which It expelled from the lungs in the
| paroxysm of the cough. This physician thinks
| it will be miraculous il these children es'

authorities, John Guthrie, the keeper of the
small pox hospital, was locked up in the cells
while he had patients under his care, but as sooI

directed to leave the place. Should any Of the
prisoners then in the cells take the disease they
| may know where it came from.
| Other instances OF this kind might be related
| but it il not necessary. These will serve to SHOW
the carelessness of those who mingle with con
tagious Diseases and ought to impart some in
formation whereby the spread of contagioi
