ROSS.-At her residence naar Sandy Hook
on the evening of January 9TH, of consumption
AMELIA b. ROSS, wife of VIM. Ross, in the
10Th year of her age.
We have linger'd, precious mother,
fearful round thy silent clay:
Breathed our farewells, pressed our kisses,
Bowed in grief have turned away.
Though we know thy cross has fallen,
Which in earth-life we must bear,
Yet affection clings so fondly,
We would keep thee with us here.
Far away from earths pollution,
Free from suffering, free from care,
Thou shalt live life eternal,
And await thy loved ones there.
Yet there's One, more than maternal
Knows our shrine is shattered now;
He will lead us, He will strengthen,
To His will we silent bow
BY HER DAUGHTER.

SMALL. PoX IN BALTIMoRE.-At meeting
of the State Board of Health, at Baltimore,
Monday, it was resolved, in view of a threat
ened epidemic of small pox, that application
be made to the United States government for
n portion of the contingent fund in the hands
of the President for such purposes. The
Board of Health have been severely criticized
for calling on the general government for
help, but it appears that there is no State
fund which can be touched except in case of
actual epidemic, which has not yet occurred.
The money is needed to provide vaccine
virus for the city and the counties.
1t has since been stated that the fund at
the disposal of the President is only intended
for use in case of threatened epidemic Of
yellow fever. The press of Baltimore and
many leading citizens condemn the action OF
the Board of Health, as calculated to create
unnecessary alarm and materially affect the
business of the city.
Mr.. II. G.. Smith and other officers of the
Baltimore Merchants and Manufacturers
Association called upon Gov. Hamilton, on
Wednesday, in relation to the matter. Mr.
Smith stated that he knew there were not
over 800 cases of smallpox in the city and
that the disease is abating Gov. Hamilton
prepared an informal paper, which is pub
lished, the design of which is to quiet the
alarm in reference to the disease. DIR.
Teackle, the State Vaccine Agent, gives no.
tico that for want of funds to procure it, no
more vaccine virus will be furnished this
year. The majority of the Board of Health
in published card assert that they did not
intend to create the apprehension that small
pox had reached the proportions of an cpl
demic in the city, but in view of the exhaus-
ton of the State fund and the demand for
vaccine virus from the counties, they voted
to accept tender of government aid made
by Supervising Surgeon General Hamilton.
The Offer it appears was unauthorized

NEW STOCK
OF THE
Waring Fertilizer Company

OWING to the large increase of business expe-
- r1eneed by the Waring Fertilizer Company
since the organization of the company three years
ago, they lind the present paid-up capital of
S4O,0OO too small for its requirements.
They have therefore decided to increase the
Capital Stock to 100000. The present Common
stock to be increased $4,000, making it $4,000,
and S5O,OOO of Preferred Stock issued. The Pre-
cent; per annum, payable semi-annually. The
whole income of Company is pledged for the pay
ment OF this per cent. dividend, and the entire
assets OF the Company for the payment of the
principal.
The conservative basis on which the business of
the Company is conducted and the fact that their
dealings are among farmers, the safest class of
commercial credits known, makes the business
one OF the safest that can be found.
The Common Stock lof which but $4,000 is to
be expected TO pay dividends better than 9 per
cent.
The Preferred Stock having the whole assets of
the Company, including the $4,000 of Common
one of the safest per cent. investments, and
owing owing to the certainty aid promptness of the
dividends, one of the most satisfactory.
The present charter of the Company will eX-
pire two years hence, when stockholders who may
wish to do so, will have an opportunity of with
drawing.
Farmers holding stock in The Warning Fertilizer
Company and purchasing fertilizers for their own
use as farmers by sending their orders direct to
the Company will be guaranteed dividend of
equal to the sum of their purchases during the
year. This is reduction of about one dollar per
ton in addition to dividend of six per cent.
Those wishing TO make inquiry further in re-
gard to above stock will please call on or address
