Editor Of the Register.
Having heard considerable fiction re.
lating to the first case Of small pox IN
our town, ! wish to give your readers a
lew facts in connection with the second
case, which should interest all who are
dcsirecus Of keeping the disease from
spreading. A few days since persons, in
the vicinity of the pest house, noticed
that the guard was getting careless in the
performance of his duties, and reckless in
exposing himself and others to the disease.
BY bringing himself in direct contact
with persons from the house and handling,
and carrying away to be handled BY
others, articles which had been in the
house and handled by the inmates. Be.
lieving that the disease was liable to
spread in that way the facts were report
cd to Mr., Heman LaDgworthy, who
politely told the person reporting that he
did not believe it. | met Mr.. Lang
worthy in the evening when he told me
that Mr.. March denied the truth of the
statement, l told him that l could prove
it by two reliable witnesses. He then
remarked, in his quiet and gentlemanly
way, "they are liars" without even know
ing who they were. The next morning
took the trouble to investigate the mat
ter little farther and found that there
were six persons who were willing to
testify to the foreg ling facts. | again
presented the case to Mr.. Lengworthy
with the request that he should inquire
into the affair, which he absolutely relus
ed to do, protesting to believe Mr..
N arch's statement against the evidence of
six reliab!e witnesses whose names | gave
him. w, Ii. II. PARKER.

Gold is going up, and California min
ing stocks are going down. OF course.
These gold swindlers don't want Uncle
Sans rag money to be sure. But the
fact is curious, at any rate. 1t is an
anomaly to have speculative property
decline when gold is advancing. The
value of mining stock in the San Fran
cisco market has declined over $780,
900, 900 within few weeks. But it is
just AS well. 1t don't hurt Californi-
an to lose his property and fail semi
annually. The only thing to mourn
over is the possible disturbance of sub
stantial values throughout the country
