The scarcity of pure and fresh DO
vine vaccine virus for several days has
people In the city who have not had
their arms scratched. Smallpox seems
to be epidemic all over the country.
though not to any virulent extent. and
the demand for virus has exhausted the
capacity of the vaccine farms in the
East and North. A fresh supply was
received by Health Officer Montgomery
yesterday. and the ty vaccinating ply
sicians will he supplied to-day. About
5000 points are on hand. In view Of
the probability Of the supply being
short at any pressing moment. the an
nounccIncnt that Mr.. J. y. Wilder will
establish vaccine farm is i,npor-
tant, not only t. this city, hut t"

which can lie supplied with the
virus. There arc several special reasons
why Louisville is the best point for such
an establishment. Plenty of the finest.
healthiest cattle can he obtained. and it
is an excellent distributing point. In
Massachusetts, it is necessary to import
cattle from, distance, hut in Kentucky
the supply il incxhaust!nle and right ri

farm on his stock farm, near the city,
where he has large number Of thor
ou.hhrc<i cattle. He las been in CORE
slNndcnce with Eastern producers, and
