A TEMPORARY lull IN the development of small
Pox cases made some people think that we had got
TO the end of our troubles. This was far from the
case. however. On Sunday last the second crop
began to show itself and on Monday no less than
3 cases we're reported at the Station House while
yesterday there was only one As We might fairly
expect very mnch larger number Of cases to be
developed during .he second outbreak. there need
be no unnecessary alarm In fact there have
hardly been as many cases as the medical men pro
phesisd, but Of course new cases VIII be probably
reported during the rest Of the week The IN

strong dissemination to resort to cOncsalmcnt- A

seven patients who had been living there for sew

press upon the native mind the necessity Of in
ssantly reporting cases. In looking over the news
from other parts of the world We notice that ours
is BY no means the only piacs which is suffering
from this epidemic; IN one district IN the United
States IT has been extremely severe ont of 30 cases
there were 81 deaths. We can therefore cong-atu-
