The Wheeling papers now claim
that the small Pox in that city is un-
der good control, and there is no
danger of any further spread of the
disease, and that it is all confined
to three wards, and the closest po-
lice surveillance is kept over the
infected district. Notwithstanding
this statement, it would be well for
this town and all other towns to be
carefully on their guard.
