Small Pox—Not Any!
ASHTABULA, Dec. 20th '71.
Editor T-'lrgraph :
Since ".Medicus" has applied himself so dil
igently during the past few days, to publish
his diagnosis of small pox or varioloid In the
case of Mrs. Dawson at my house even to
the extent of circulating it through the medi
um of yourhst week's Issue of the Telegraph,
I have thought a few words relative to ' the
case tending to extend hit notoriety, might,
perhaps, be read with keen relish, at least, by
himself.
Jlavlnz advi-rtliod himself as prepared to
attend upon those wishing to be vaccinated
ho was called to wait upon my fiimilf only in
the capacity lo which his advertisement refer
red, and bafore leaving the home JiU attention
was Incidentally directed to Mrs. Dawsou,
who lind a few pimples tin one hand the
tfU nnm'ier not exceeliiig tie and well, J'oU
know the rest.
Thus we were ot onre made tile foundation
Of nptnic; our children were frequently re
minded by kind-hearted but panic-stricken
neighbors that they should not forget to hover
closo round tho fountain-head of infection
their lioiilj; good paople turned purple In
Ihe face, when I ventured nbout tho streets ;
the social cloud grew d.irker about us, and yet
our good m.itlier with the tore hrtixd, wouldn't
be sick, but insisted on goingotit into the cold
nir as usual. What could bo done? Three
competent physicians were culled in never
before did sore fingers, in our family, receive
sncu manieti intention ami sought In vain
foi symptoms, present or past, In the least in
dicalive of varioloid or small pox.
We didn't know whether to bellevo our
senses or not. What I "Medicus" robbed of the
glory of tone ate in the "present epidemic,''
which "will probably be restricted to three or
four cases at most?" Pjssible that his re
nown should thus perish In lis earliest gasp
for life But so it was. The seal ot doom
sat darkly upon its brow at birth, and it fell
with our infection nnd tcult into nn early
tomb; for while the disease was at its bight
her finger was still sore "Medicus"' article
appeared, staling (hat the case was now en
tirely convalescent, and all danger of conta
gion past. It would be Impossible for any
one to imagine what a relief it was to know
that nlotlefn "contagion" is so exceedingly ao
cninmodating 1
In conclusion, we have decided that a very
trivial matter, in the hands of one whose edu
datlnn best fits him to Investigate such, may
like a pot of yenst, foam nnd ferment, till Its
support becomes most thoroughly bedaubed.
P. F. GOOD.
PLYMOUTH, Dec. 18th, 1871.
Editor Telegraph :
I suppose you are acquainted With tbe fact
that by the running away of my tenm on the
2nd Inst. which was caused by a piece of pa
per my family narrowly escaped a terrible
accident; and by tho wrecking of my carriago
aud the wheel of another wagon in the street
and breaking of harnesses, I shall be out of
pocket about $25. I ought to compel the
village to pay for it. Merchants have been
cautioned again and again in the mutter of
throwing paper in the street, but It does n6t
have any effect. I am a sufferer from thi
cause, jet you will I have iwrllten Jt as
it came from one of your village merchants or
buinessmen, for I do not wish to draw upon
myself any notoriety or censure for flapping
your sluggish village council.

Mr. Editor :
I am well aware nf the fact that "great
bodies move slowly," therefore, like Micawbcr,
I have patiently "waited for something to
turn up," or rather for something to be turned
out from our Village Embers' grave council
chamber in Ihe shape of an Ordinance. I did
think the eevere logic of recent events would
show Ihem Ihe necessity of prompt, vigorous
action in this matter. I refer to the passing
of an ordinance Hint shall prohibit tbe sweep-
lug of ppperB Into Ihe street, as' the habit of
some is.' There is rerlainlv not a mors nro-
- i--
ilic cause of runaways and accidents, than
llivsc loose, flying bits of paper. Few horses
will stand quietly when these are whirled to
ward or about tla-m ; and it is Bti almost dally
occurrence to see horses thus frightened.
Some say they sweep all papers out f the
rrur door. But that docs not improve the
matter much, if any, for most of these are
soon carried by the wind through lanes and
alleys into the main streets. And from this
samu cause it is quiut as unsafe to bitch a
team in a vacant lot in the reur of a store in
one sense it is mote unsafe, for if a team eels
frightened there is no one uear to prevent a
runnwav.
Now it is but ribt and proper that our
country patrons should be assured of safety
for their teams when hitched in front of our
stores, whilst they are transacting business
with us. W ith nil due respect to the wisdom
of the Council, I Ihink it is high time thai
this nu 8 ince should be abated by compelling
all persons either to burn or else to put in a
safe place all bits of paper, etc. It' they longer
ail to pass such an ordinance, then I sincerely
hope that hereafter every sufferer wilL in
court, compel the authorities to pay for all
damages resulting from this eause.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure." li is neillier w ise nor cxnetlient to
wait until some terrible accident, causing
death or manning for life, shall arouse and
compel them lo do llieir duty to the public in
JUSTICE.
