WASHINGTON.
The Wing says: There is considerable
alarm at Vanceboro, in regard to the small
pox. The existence of the disease at St.
Croix, directly across the river from Vance
boro, and the fact that large number in the
latter place have been exposed has led to
great fears that the dread scourge will break
out in that town. The excitement in regard
to the matter is quite general. Mr.. Eugene
NJ. Hersey returned from Vanceboro last
evening and informed us that the authorities
had ordered him to Immediately close his
clothespin factory in that town and remain
suspended till the danger is passed. The
suspension is unfortunate at the present time
as Mr.. Hersey has large orders already on
hand and had commenced to run the mill
nights.
