SMALLPOX IN NEW-YORK.
NO REAL CAUSE FOR ALARM.

EASES-A LOOK AT PAST YEARS.
Smallpox in the city may be expected to in
crease for some weeks to come,' said Assistant
Sanitary Superintendent James yesterday. with
the coming OF cold weather we look for rise in the
number of cases. The reason is that people are
crowded together indoors without adequate means
Of ventilation. and the spread CT the disease is
thereby favored. When the Thermometer falls
below so. the weather is considered favorable 20
contaeion. But must not be understood as mean
ing that any serious or great danger is to be apPrc
hended There are always more cases IN winter
than in summer. The number will be comparatively
large until perhaps April and will diminish with
the coming of warm weather"
How was the disease brought into the city /"

at was introduced in October, $500 replied Or.
James, probably from Chicago or Philadelphia.
Then there may have been cases among immigrants.
