The reports OF smallpox at Goshen, as
usual in such cases, are much exaggerated.
There is no smallpox at the place proper,
though there are and have been six cases OF
smallpox and yarioloid in that migisteral
district, and one death of smallpox and
pneumonia combined, all a mile or more
from the town. The quarantiDe-bouse Is
from mile to mile and hall from the
town, and though all persons who have
been exposed TO the disease have been con
fined there ten days, there is no new case.
The village is not quarantined, nor are the
hotels and stores closed. No danger is ap.
pretended there, aud there is none to ira
yellers who pass through or stop there.
This statement is made by some OF the most
reliable citizens OF the place.
The work OF the Young Mems Christian
Association among the railroad-men OF
stanton has been organized by the ap-
pointment OF a railroad committee, who
will make especial Efforts among that class
OF the community. At meeting OF the
stanton Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton directory last Sunday, after an earnest
conference on this subject, this committee
was appointed, and consists OF Messrs. I.
NJ. McElwce, John w. Todd, Ii. ID. Peck,
George NJ. Filter, Rev. j. NJ. Frost, and
Henry Summerson. Mr.. McElwee, the
chairman, is the Chesapeake and Ohio agent
here, aud goes into the work With zeal
that promises good results.
The Slate.IIll Mills OF Mr.. j. \. Koiner
| the burning Of which was reported in this
correspondence few days ago, involved q
| loss Of $4,000 to the owner and his Gus
toners. Only fourteen barrels OF flour
were saved out OF 1,t50. Three thousand
| bushels OF wheat and five or six hundred
bushels of corn and large quantity OF ship
stuff were destroyed. Many OF the neigh
| bors LOST all their grain and their years sup
ply OF -four. Mr.. Koiner had recently pu
expensive repairs upon his mill, and II Il
not thought that the machinery can be re-
placed for less than $4,000. Mr.. Koinel
| will probably rebuild, however, as his pa
irons insist that they cannot do without toe
mill. The fire is supposed TO have origi
mated from q burning match which wa
thrown upon the floor by the mill-boy JUS
before leaving the building for the night
after having lighted his lamp.
A $1,000 Richmond and Danyille railroad
bond, which had not seen the light fol
twcnty.one years, was discovered at th'
Western Lunatic Asylum the other day un
der singular circumstances. A female pa
tient who has been In that institution TWEEN
ty-onc years, and during that time con
stantly wore next to her body q small bal
which sue would not part with, was takel
sick few days ago. She got too weak Z
help herself, and asked one OF the patient
to open the bag and get out OF 1t cent 10
her TO make triding purchase with.
! fiye.dollar gold piece was taken out an
the bond alluded TO, which was throw
