furdisallowing the appropriations made by the
Commissioners (owned by George) to fire
companies In Columbia and, Marietta last
Till, where the county does not own a foot of
property, to hejp the said George to the Dis

when it is known that George's company is
composed chiefly of saurkraut gorillas, who
held " high riot" at the Republican Mass
Convention in this city, last fall, and who are
now under indictment for the same. Look to

Small-Pox, in a very malignant form, is
now prevailing to an alarming extent
throughout California. As there is no disease
more easily prevented than Small-Pox, should
not every physician use his utmost endeavors
to prevent so dangerous and disagreeable a
malady from spreading? Vaccination, if

mittent fever, tiotioed in the articles in the
papers, that persons who had recently been
vaccinated and had yet the vaccination scab
on their arms, fell victims to the disease; this
might induce' thi3 eredulouS to believe that
weination is no preventative. I am satin=
fied in my mind, that when the 'human system
is saturated with the vaccine virus, not one in
five, lumdred will, if exposed to the contagion,
take the disease. Sometimes persons will get
Vaccinated, and before the vaccine fever has
taken Wed, will expose theniselves to the
contagion of Small-Pox; and as inhalation is
a quicker process than absorption, it is natural
to stimsrse that in such an exposure, Sma
Pox is the consequence.
I have, in my practice, many years ago,
ordered babes, whose mothers were taken
with varioloid, and before the disease was
contagious, to be taken to a neighbor's house,
whore I vaccinated them, and the twelfth day
had them returned to the mother, turd not one
took the disease. lii other instances, mothers
refused to part with their babes and not one
escaped the disease, and t wo•thirds died.
