BEDFORD CITY. VA. July 15.-(Spe-
cial.)-Much surprise was occasioned here
this week by a publication in a paper OF
Richmond of a correspondence from Bed
ford county, in which it was stated that
there had been several cases of small
pox in the neighborhood Of Chamblis-
burg, on the south side Of the county.
Dr. e. w. Davis, who had treated these
supposed cases Of smallpox, publishes IN
the local papers this week an indignant
and emphatic denial. in toto. Of the truth
Of the statement. He says: There are
few cases Of chicken-pox there, but /
challenge the medical fraternity Of Nir-
ginia or any one else who knows any
thing about the disease TO pronounce II
smallpox There is no danger of
spread, even OF chicken-pox, as the Pc
Rod OF incubation is passed. All cases
are conyalescent." A report of the pre-
yalence OF smallpox in the county going
abroad would be very prejudicial TO the
general interests. and this positive denial
from so competent Il source as Dr. Davis
definitely settles the matter. Or. treder-
