For the week ending Dec. 81, 1881,

and erysipelas increased and that in
termittent fever, diphtheria and typho-
malarial fever decreased considerably in
area of prevalence.
At South Haven "thirty vaccinations"

Dec. 81.
Smallpox is reported at Bay City,
Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo,
South Haven and Union City. The one
new case at Grand Rapids was believed
to have been brought from North Car
DINA. The case at Union City was
brought from Cincinnati. At Kalama-
ZOO the disease was probably contracted
by sorting paper rags. At all of the six
localities from which small-p ox is re-
ported it is believed to be under the con-
troll of the local authorities, being re-
stricted by isolation of those sick or
exposed to the disease, by vaccination

cases which appear. If the people and
the local boards Of health would act as
promptly and carry out as thorough
measures for the restriction and sup
preston of diphtheria and scarlet fever
as they are anxious to enforce on the
outbreak of smallpox it is believed that
scarlet fever and diphtheria might be
nearly as well suppressed. The expense
and trouble of such prompt suppression
of these diseases would be much less
than that of later efforts to put them
down, life and health would be pre-
served, there would be great saving of
expense attending sickness, and no Gloss
of trade" would be occas; oned.

bins has just put in his mill set of
magnets, and if farmers will just take
the pains to call at the Hank Office they
can have the pleasure of seeing pile of
nails and screws, caught in eight hours
run, that would literally astonish them.
Yet every farmer will say his wheat is
clean.
The Bay City Tribune permits one of
its correspondents to kiss the book and
depose that boy aged IL, named King,
pursued deer in boat, caught it 10y
the tail, and lifted it's tail end 80 high
that its head was forced under water till
it drowned. When we remember how
we caught a fifty-barrel whale off Nam
tucket shoals, when we we're only 10
years old, with n pin-hook and line cut
from grandmother's spool of linen thread,
we feel satisfied that the Tribune's deer
story is probably true.
