HISTORICAL NuGGETs FROM BRATTLKBoRo.
The first postage stamps ever printed in
this country came from Brattleboro in 1916
and 1916. About the same time Providence.
r. l., and New York city issued local car
rier's stamp, but Postmaster Palmer, of
Brattleboro, was the first to put in circuli-
tion stamp to prepay postage. They were
printed in sheets. upon light buff-colored
paper. in black ink, and were about the
size of the present postage-stamp. 1t is
needless to say that in the years that have
elapsed their value has largely appreciated.
Before their scarcity and antiquity was fully
realized, seven of these stamps were sold for
81 each, and the same have been resold as
high a. $50 apiece. going to England. A
Bath (England) magazine has published a
long article in regard to the stamps, men

ADdicfments against II shrnay CT al.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5th.-Sev-
eral of the indictments found by the
Grand Jury were not mentioned in
their report today, the parties
against whom they were found be-
ing at liberty. 1t was ascertained,
however, during the afternoon thai
two ofthem were against KearEey,
one against Wellock and one
against O'Donnell. AT a quarter to
four o'clock Kearney called at the
police station and inquired if there
was warrant out for him. He said
he had seen a report on a bulletin
board that he was wanted and
thought he would call round and
see what the bail was. He was told
there were two Indictments and
that the bail was So, 900. Inquiriug
the name of the officer who had the
warrant he and his friend went
out in search Of him. Shortly after
warrants were served on him ana
the other two. The charges against
Kearuey are melting riot aud con.
spiracy. Wellock and O'Donnell
are charged with conspiracy. All
succeeded In furnishing bail aud
were released from custody.
The Grand Jury have found an
Indictment against Thomas J.
Dixon, late Clerk of the Polio,
Court, charging him with abstract
ing $4,000 Of the Police Court

Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-01-06

WE regret to observe that the
Express, of January 4th, in an ed
itorial article, has taken view OF
the presence of smallpox in Yuma
which the facts do not sustain.
There has undoubtedly been, main
ly amongst the Indian population,
some smallpox in Yuma. In fact,
there has always been more or
less smallpox in Yuma, and it has
nearly always been confined TO the
same class Of people. On the first
breaking out of the disease, DR..
Gale, the Health Officer of the
city Of Los Angeles, visited that
place and had a conference with
the Board OF Supervisors Of Yuma
county, the only body authorized
to act. Tho Board at once accepted
DR.. g ale's suggestions and the dis
ease was rigidly ouarantined. Super
intendent Hewitt, over three weeks
ago, gave orders to conductors on
the Yuma train to examine pas
sengers before leaving Yuma; and,
If any passenger was, or was taken,
sick, to telegraph him and DR..
Gale, with the view of preventing
any infected person from reaching
our city. Our people can thus rely
upon it that the most thorough and
effsctual precautions have been
taken to prevent the disease from
reaching Los Angeles. The Yuma
Sentinel, of last week, in referring
to the cases which had been devel-
oped there, stated that they were
of so mild type that those affect
ed do not even have to go to bed.
So much for what might excite
alarm if it were not fully under
stood. Yuma, besides, is nearly
three hundred miles from our city.
