the sincere hope that the timely
hints and suggestions therein given,
NAV be taken up closely observed, and
the smallpox now among US be spec
div put to fight. The article was
prepared at our solicitation, and also
at the request of many Of the readers
of the Register, in answer to the ma
ny questions now being hourly asked
with regard to the contagion or In
fectioa Of smallpox, and of the pro.
tectiye power Of vaccination, and of
the duration of the protective power
Of vaccination and re-vaccination.-
The article on smallpox, vaccination
and REORGANIZATION, was hurriedly
prepared by one of our mosteminent,
respectable and conscientious physi-
clans, whose opinion on ailqnestions
arising in his profession is sought for
and held in high respect by his bro
thcr physicians. The author has
seen much of this disease, now at our
doors, and has a deadly horror of it.
To WHOM else can We turn for coun-
sci to guide and protect US in times
like these but to our physicians
And to whom else can we appeal for
aid and assistance but to our physi-
clans in protecting our community
against an epidemic spread Of a con-
tagion and infectious smallpox, and
! to the municipal and other legal au-
,horities in our city, and throughout
our county?

That Goose, Ex-Governor Steven
son, is gone. We tried to procure it
for your Thanksgiving dinner, but
alas. we were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The owner had been victim
of your "cruel registration" and be-
fore he would let it grace your table,
he swore his old SOW should have it
for her dinner, and with d-m old
Governor Stevenson, threw it over
into the pen, when it was quickly
deyourcd. We plead with him not
to do so rash an act, but to no effect.
