A SMALLPOX scOurge, if we may credit
the dispatches from all sections of the
Nation, is now one of the threatened
calamities. There is something SO stimuli
taneous in its movements, appearing in so
many cities and towns at the same time
and in virulent form. The cry comes
from all directions and many deaths have
occurred, not only of those in low but in
high places. The Boards of Health are
using every precautionary measure
possible and generally with show of
success, but vaccination is ADMITTED the
only protection against this filthy disease.

OUR EsTHETICs.-Osca Wild's mission
Will not be completed until he comes to
our Penlnsular towns, and especially our

lem OF refined beauty, and would revive
an artlStle RENAISSANCE of individualism. Il
passionate calm of the romantic spirit

10 one OF such temperament the effect
might be disastrous. Imagine for instance

DIa1onsd letters he reads Daubers ONLY

tGrther ON St Judas Oil, "A sure cure
Tor all kinds of rheumatics," think Won
not his sensitive soul would be Mortified
and the man dash off on the first tanren-
tlal line for the town limits? His first ex-
preston would be Shocking! horriblel /,
mas the first esthetical ray never entered
the confines of the town? What sum
could buy from an owner of property such n
privilege to thus disfigure it in the most
repulsive lines, abhorrent to culture a
earrlcature of the first principles of art

Wild should come to Smyrna we shall
seek the earliest interview consistent with

NEW ENTERPRISES.-The ideas of de-
Velopment and enterprise are more infused
IN the minds of the people Of this PENN
suia at tins time than at any previous
perlod. There is scarcely town. as we
gather from our exchanges, that is not
starting some new enterprise. This idea
generally takes Shapei in the erection of can
ming orpacking houses, either by Joint stock
companies or individual capitalists. Two
purposes are accomplished in these estab-
llshments-giving employment to those
VINO are only awaiting the opportunity.
and increasing the agricultural production
OF the surrounding country. Thus. more
money is put in circulation. while mt the
same time the population is increased.
Some Of the towns have been 80 in earn
est as to be in an actual state of ferment
ihls is a healthy sign, indicating as it
does, an aroused sentiment. We have
been watching the current of feeling in
our town with some anxiety, and while il
exists, it is like the turtle down in the
mud, waiting for some warming ravs 10
Drlng 1t to the surface. Why this slug
glshaess, waiting like Mioawber for some
thag 10 turn up'Y If 1t ever Is turned
up, 1t most probably will be by ourselves.
and here is hint for our capitalists.
canning factories and drying houses are
very well as initial enterprises, but Smyrna
has the capital and should have the pluck
to engage in something of larger magni-
tude. Such an enterprise would be found
IN the erection of a paper mill. Estab-
lished near the town, or at the head of
navigation on our creek, which would
perhaps be better, there is every reason
why IT should not only be q success. but
remuneratiVe. Small taxoS low frejobte
cheap labor, abundant material in straw
and marsh hay, no place offers superior
advantages. What say our capitalists
