SMALL Pox IN THE CITY.-Two weeks ago
Capt. Farr, living at No. 4 Atlantic street, re-
turned from voyage and was soon taken sick.
He was not dangerously sick, but as pimples
appeared on his face his family became alarmed
and sent for physician. The physician could
not tell whether it was varioloid or not, and he
called another physician who decided it was not
varioloid. Last week two of his children were
taken with the small pox and are quite sick.
One is an infant but two weeks old. As the
neighbors were in and out of the house while
Capt. Farr was sick, it is feared the disease will
spread. A brother of the captain was with him
and has now gone to Harpswell Capt. Farr
discharged his vessel at Blackwelps Island just
before coming home, and probably that is where
he caught the disease.
