| CASES OF SMALL-Pox.-A gentleman from
this city was yesterday at Dry Creek, just
beyond the Norris grant, and about eleven
miles from this city, and ascertained the fol.
lowing facts A few days since a family, re-
lations of Mr.. Forsythe, of Dry Creek, ar
rived from the East. Ga the train they fell
in with party who had recently been afHict-
ed with the smallpox, but claimed to have
safely left it behind, and that all necessary
precaution had been observed to prevent any
liability to communicating it to others. Upon
the arrival of the family they went to Mr.
Forsythe's. and the children commenced
going to school at Dry Creel,. Two OF three
days since the smallpox broke out in Mr..
Forsytbe's family, and one of the children
died of the disease and was buried Another
child has it, and also two ladies, the latter
cases being regarded very critical The
school has been closed for the present, AM
there is much excitement and fear in the
neighbnrhood. Fifteen persons, IN all, it is
thought. have been exposed. Il is stated
also that the man who came from the East
with the party, and another man from Dry
| Creek who has been exposed to the disease,
come into Sacramento every day hauling
wheat, notwithstanding the people living
along the road have demonstrated against it.
This part of the matter, at least. should re-
eeive the immediate attention of the Board
of Health.
PERns OF IMsnGRATIoN.-Ther arrived
yesterday by the immigrant train from the
East a mother and four small children, which
furnish an example of the privations and
hardships which were often experienced by
the early immigrants who came to this coast
with slow teams, starting in the spring and
crossing the Sierras in the early SHOWS of the
| following winter. In May last the party,
consisting of man, wife and four children,
| left Missouri with span of horses and
wagon, bringing their full outfit of earthly
goods, and en- route to make future home in
Oregon. When they reached Idaho their
team gave out, and was sold at sacrifice
and another span of horses purchased
with which to make the remainder of the
| journey This unexpected outlay was a
| hardship by reason of their limited means.
| but by the time they reached Humboldt sta
ton. on the Central Pacific Railroad in Ne
vada, their new team had become so reduced
that not to exceed ten miles per day could be
made, and to complete the journey the team,
wagon and outfit were sold. With the money
thus raised the man sent his wife and chill
dren and the baggage to this city by
railroad, and only had about 50 left, which
was not sufficient to pay his own
fare, and hence he was left at Hum
boldt to either work until he could pay his
fare or some through on foot. The family
were found yesterday at the depot in this des-
titute condition and were taken by Chief
Karcher to police headquarters for shelter un-
| til something else could be done. Last even
ing gentleman whose charitable deeds are
| frequently known, took the woman and chill
| dren to the International Hotel and had them
made comfortable there until some steps can
be taken for their temporary relief.
METROPOLITAN THEArER Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday next Max Fehrman will
appear at the Metropolitan Tbeater with his
tUncle Isaacs" company. Fehrman win
be remembered as having about year ago
made an instant and positive success as the
Jew in the play of The PhGaix," presented
here by the Milton Mobiles Combination.
Fehrman is probably the beat caricaturist in
the line he essays, there is on the stage. He
is inimitsbly funny. He has just closed
three weeks successful run at the Bush-street
Theatsr, San Francisco. There can be little
doubt of his success here being repeated on
this his second appearance, especially as he
comes here at the head of troupe and not
| second to another.
