The same colored man who communicated
the small pox to colored people in this city
communicated it to some in Buena Vista be-
fore he came here, and one woman, who
caught it from him there, went to Lexington
and communicated it to the family in the
house she occupied, and there are now six
cases there They have been removed from
the town where they are attended to, and as
all have been vaccinated they will probably
have the disease in a comparatively mild form
and recover. The house they occupied was
buried. There will be no danger in going to
Lexington as there is none in coming to

The precedent set by Augusta county year

securities cannot but be beneficial. The
course of prices of stocks for the moment may
depend very much upon the action of the for
eign markets; but, at the same time, local
speculation may be expected to be stimulated
by the fact that the recent rise in prices has
added some $500, 900, 900 to the value of stocks
dealt in at the New York Exchange, which
means very large profits to the "bulP' specula-
tors, and consequent stimulus to buying.

In 1881 the funding bonds were issued
