The Secretary Of the State Board
of Health at Chicago recently re
turned from Peoria, where he said
he found thirteen cases of smallpox
but thought the city authorities had
the disease fully under control.
Hearing Of smallpox at Eaton, Ill.,,
drove there and learned of q case
at q farmhouse several miles from
the town. He left instructions that
every person who attended the par.
ty referred to be vaccinated at once.
He thinks the spread Of the disease
can be prevented in this way. W.
also learn that there have been Sew.
eral cases in San Antonio, Texas.
and fears are entertained that the
disease will become epidemic, in that
section Of country.

For several days back VIC nave
experienced some Of the coolest
weather known for years in this por.
ton of the State. We are reliably
Informed that on Saturday, the 9th,
at 4 o'clock a. m, the thermometer
stood at II degrees. We learn that
the stubble cane in many places, in
this parish, is seriously injured, and
that the loss is estimated at thirty
per cent. An estimate Of the extent
of injury to seed cane could not be
made up to the time Of our informa-
ton, as the ground at that date
was said 10 be frozen to a depth of
three inches. The Broukshier gin
aud compress, in consequence Of the
water in the pipes being frozen, was
compelled to suspend operations for
several days. The stock on he
prairies, SO far, have sustained lit,Ic
injury, but fears arc entertained that
great suffering will soou prevail
among some of them, in consequence
of the marsh grass, which afforded
protection to a large number OF
horses aud cattle during the cold
weather, was, a few days ago, set On
fire, and for hundreds of miles DIES.
troyed. The ponds and other small
placer, throughout the parish, con-
tanning water were frozen to a thick
ice, hence cattle and horses roaming
in these sections were, for several
days, deprived Of the privilege Of
quenchilg their thirst. Thursday
we we're visited by rain, and the
weather continuing cold.

Leleur, pilot of the spengler, which
got to that place last Tuesday, hav-
ing been nine days out, says that
in his experience of twenty-five years
