LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
SMALLPOX.

Cases Reported In LaEcaster-Comn,..nicss icss.
ton From the Board OF Health.
The following communication from the
board of health explains itself. 1t should
be read and its recommendations adopted
by all who would prevent the lcathsome
disease, smallpox, from becoming epidem-
ic in our midst, as it is already in so many
other parts of the country:
To THE PUBLIC.-Wc, the members Of
the board OF health of Lancastcrcity, deem
it our duty thus publicly to warn our fel-
low citizens OF the alarming prevalence OF
smallpox IN SO many sections OF the coun-
try; and i'll view of the fact which has
come to our knowledge Of the existence of
one or more as yet isolated cases in our
own city, We earnestly urge the adoption
of all hygienic and preventive measures,
such as cleanliness in and about dwellings
and thorough ventilation OF the latter, as
we'll as personal attention to the we'll
ydcctndtiOn as the specific protection
against the attack and contagious commu
nicatiOh of this most loathsOme disease.
The sanitary committee Of the board Of
health Of Philadelphia. have issued circu-
lar in which they say
l. Vaccination is one of the best means
of preventing the attack OF smallpox.
9. All persons should be re.vacciDatcd
after twelve years OF age.
:. When smallpox prevails every person
should be Immediately re-yaccinated by
a legally qualified medical practitioner.
4. Every child should be vaccinatcd
within three mouths after its birth.
We would also venture respectfully to
urge upon councils the necessity and duty
of providing for the vaccination of those
among US who have not the means o
procuring vaccination themselves. 1t has
been reported to us that our sister town O
Columbia has appropriated one thousand
dollars to the like purpose.
We cannot too strongly recommend q
general and prompt compliance with the
above rules. BY their observance, primary
vaccination and vaccination after the
expiration of seven or eight years, the
most etfectual protection is assured against
the spread of this terrible scourge. as well
as being the surcst way of robbing it ol

HoN. A. II. SrErHENs, who is now "a
years old, has never read fairy story,
and until the other day never heard oi
Cinderella.
Contrary to the custom Of his immediate
predecessors, Attorney General BREWSTER
has determined to appear in person in the
supreme court Of the United States in all
cases affecting the public interests.
The Chambersburg Valley Spirit au-
nounces upon authority that Hon. Will
LIAM S. STENGER is not a candidate for
governor. Glad to hear of one modest
man. Next?
EDGAR PINCHoT of Pike county, Pa, is
an applicant for the Belgian mission, and
is indorsed by the Pennsylvania delegation.
He has never held All important state or
federal Office, but for years has been prom

of the state central committee.
The members Of the bar of NOrthamp-
ton county have rendered ex-Judge REED.
Err a complimentary banquet as a mark of
their appreciation Of the ability and court

during his torn of Office. Judge Rceder
has responded to the invitation and the
time is fixd for Friday evening next, at

Green will preside, and many distin-
guished gentlemen will be guests of the
occasion.
WILLIAM ii. VANDERBILT has moved
into his new house on Fifth avenue, and
it was opened to friends of the family.
Some idea of the cost may be gathered
from the fact that between GOO and 700
men were employed upon the interior
decorations for a year and half. Sixty
foreign carvers and sculptors were en-
ployed for two years, having been engaged
i'll Europe for the work and brought to
this country under contracts which as
sured them pay at an average rate of $50
a week and passage both ways.

produce evidence in five minutes to show
that Mr.. Hayes has never paid the 81, 900
he subscribed to his campaign for governor
nor has he ever paid the S., 900 that he sub
scribed toward his presidential campaign.
The books of the Ohio state central COM

TIE Clinton Democrat thinks that
g when the Democratic state committee
meets it is to be hoped that it will prompt
ly adopt the rules framed by the COM
mittee On the subject and reported to the
last convention. A large majority of that
body was in favor Of their adoption, but
vote upon them was prevented by the fac,
tious conduct Of the Philadelphia delega-
ton. Emphatica!ly in this case, the will
should be taken for the deed" 1npart
the state committee,nightp profitably adopt
these rules. Such of them, however, as
relate to matters over which a convention
only, and not The state committed, has Con-
troll could not be adopted by the commit
tee simply, SO as to have binding force.
By the way when does Chairman Bogert
propose to gather his committee together: ::
The threo wings of the Republican party
having met and conferred it is time for
Democratic "long talk " at least. And
let it be in Philadelphia.
PorTsTowN has an ordinance under
which minors, found Oh the streets after 9
p. m. in the winter, Or 10 p. IN. in the
summer, without sufficient reason for
being out so late, may be fined So and costs
or locked up for IS hours. OF two boys
who lately stopped to speak to each other
on their way from church and blocked mp
the sidewalk momentarily, one was ar
rested and fined, but upon a certiorari
Judge Ross set aside the proceedings, as
he thinks the ordinance is stretch of mu-
nicipal authority. He strongly af1frms the
right of municipalities to pass ordinances
to enforce order on the streets, and sets
forth the following as the powers which
they may exercise {:
First. They may prohibit corner loung
ing OF any other loating or loungins at any
point along the public street.
Second. In prohibiting such all evil they
may impose penalties for violation Of the
prohibition.
Third. They may pass any proper ordi-
nance forbidding indecorum and miscon-
duct which amounts to a breach of the
peace in Or along the public streets.
Fourth. They may give their officers the
power to make arrests, for any violation
of any ordinance legally and constitution
ally passed, in execution and pursuance of
the powers enumerated.
Fifth. They have the right to require of
every passer-by, and to insist upon such
requirement by proper penalties, good con-
duct, order and dccOrum.
Sixth. They may prevent by ordinance
and penalties, upon the pnblic highway,
all conduct. acts and demeanor, which
! violate good order and public decency.
Seventh. Prostitution seeking its wages,
drunkenness with its disturbance, rioters
or those threatening riot, and all others
threatening the public peace, arc all fairly
within the power of an ordinance properly
passed.

WE print on our first page to-day the
complete list Of awards in the poultry
show and some special points concerning
this interesting and successful exhibi-
tion now drawing to close. The intel
ligence and experience of the professional
judges who have determined these mat
ters leave no room to question the fitness
of their judgments. We doubt if our
citizens have fairly appreciated the
merits of this show, which is probably
equal to any of its kind ever held in
this state and reflects the highest credit
on the enterprise and energy of our
local association. We know none of it's
members grudge the highest special
praise which is universally bestowed
upon their secretary, Mr.. Jacob B.
Lichty, to whose labOrious and we'll
directed efforts is largely due the in
creasing success OF these displays. He
has shown what can be done in our COM
in this single department of
stock raising and, with all our vast agri-
cultural and industrial resources, we are
10th to believe that successful general
county fair could not be organized if the
matter was taken hold of by the proper
parties and run in the proper manner.

TIE delegation from Philadelphia to
the Democratic stale convention, 50 far
rs it is elected-all but seven of its mem
bers being chosen-may he better than
the ordinary set sent from that city, and
it may he worse. 1t is very hard to tell
from the list of names published. The
half of them who are not contested are
as likely as not to send other men in their
places, and Of those who are contested the
merits of their cases are as likely as not
to be never heard OF considered in the
strife and turmoil of state convention.
Besides, experience has shown that dele
gates who never knew of contest at
home may find one set upfOr them when
they get to the state convention. AS
published, the names of the delegates
have very ancient and iish-like smell,
beginning with Hughey Boyle and end
ing with Samuel Joscphs, with fine as
sortment of Macks and Killackys, For
sythes and Haggertys, ,Sherrys and Boyles,
Maguires and Mahers, Delahantys and
Gallaghers, sandwiched between them.
There have been all kinds Of rival con-
ventions held in bar rooms and on curb
stones, promisinga Il fruitful crop of con-
tests. AL in all, the Philadelphia De-
mocracy have given their country brcth-
rem no occasion for congratulatiOn or
