From Aberdeen.

ABERDEEN. March 1S.-ManycXagger-
atcd rcpC rtS of the cases OF smallpox
| existing i'll town have spread abroad. A
| proper fear of the dread disease is wise
| but there IS less danger i'll our midst than
is generally believed. Noncw cases have
developed i'll the town, which fact is, we
think, due to the prccaution taken by
our physicians, who have vaccinated
nearly all of its residents. The home of
| Mr.. &. L. Brown, where the disease first
developed. has been thoroughly fllmigat-
ed, and Tie school and churches here have
| been closed for two weeks. One more case,
however, has been discovered near
| BoOthby Hill, that of Gracon Elliott, an
an aged man i'll the employ of Mr.. Els
worth Brown, who lives on the Alichacls-
vile road. This home has been rigidly
quarantincG. and the case is being care
fully treated by DR.. ]. II. Kennedy. There
| have as yet been no deaths from the three
cases now on record in this town and
vicinity, which are that of Ida Whlns,
coiored, at Aberdeen, Mr. William Nc
CubbinS' little son at Boothbv Hill, and
Mr.. Gracon Elliott.
The open weather has afforded much
sport among the blackhead ducks on the
Susquehanna flats during the past week,
a number of which were killed last Friday
at the New York Rod and Gun Club
grounds off Sands Cove. Spesutia Island
Riddles are, at this time, not flying low
enough for good shooting, and the feed
ing grounds are still insufficient to sustain
the coveted rcdheads and canvasbacks.
Mir. {. II. Johnson and Mir NJ. T..
Pritchard enjoyed few hours on the
flats on Friday, where they killed about
twenty ducks.
Mrs. Henry A. Berry died suddenly AT
her home i'll this town on Friday. She

left to mourn the loss of faithful and
loving mother. They are Misses Georgia
