Another Case of Small-Pox at Alberton.

(From the Alberton Pioneer.

On the morning of Thursday last a good deal of commmotion was created in this vil- lage by the report that another case of small-pox had broken out in the vicinity— thia time on board of a vessel from St. John’s, Newfoundland, and then lying at one of the wharves. For some days the cook of the vessel had been i!l, and on the morning in question Dr. Beairsto was call- ed in, and on examining the patient pro- nounced his disease small-pox. At first it was surmised he had caught the infection fromm another vessel, whose captain had been taken ill with the disease some three weeks ago; but from the fact that there has been no communication between them it now appears evident that the disease must have been brought in the former vessel, tho’ it failed to break out at an earlier date. Like the other patient, this person also had been previously vaccinated, and conse- quently the attack is comparatively mild, though considerably more severe than that of Capt. Koenig. Every precaution to pre- vant the spread of the disease was_immedi- ately taken. The vessel was moved out into the stream, the sick man sent overtoa house on Savage Island and placed under medical treatment along with the other pa- tient, while the vessel has been undergo. ing a continuous course of fumigation ever since. At latest accounts the two men were doing well—Capt. K. was indeed pretty well through the disease when it was discovered on him, and he has been now about two weeks on the Island. Dr. Beairsto, at considerable risk and much sacrifice of practice pays them daily visits, while a person who had himself been ‘‘ through the mill” is their constant at- tendant. So far, no symptoms of the dis ease have appeared among the crews of either of the vessels. The ‘‘Corinne,” after thorough and complete fumigation under official inspection, is now at the Government wharf taking in cargo

When, two weeks ago, one of the residen physicians pronounced the case of Capt. K

(lying in a boarding house in the centre of the place) to be small-pox, it appeared such an extraordinary announcement in our pro- verbially healthy village, that nota few had their doubts with respect to the of the statement, particularly as the case was one of extreme mildness. In a day or two Dr. Jenkins from Charlottetown paid us a visit and confirmed the decision of the resident physician, as well as approved of the steps that had been taken. We may here state that Dr. Beairsto has taken this matter in hand ata good deal of personal risk, and undoubtedly at a great injury to his general practice, and we trust to see him well rewarded for his pains. A good deal of fault is found with “‘the powers,” owing to the unprotected condition of the com- munity in view of an emergency of the present kind—as_ there is neither Board of Health or Health Officer in the place to give official sanction or confirmation to whatever course may be thought best to follow. With respect to the family at whose house Capt. Koenig was staying

) when the disease appeared on him, we trust

the Government will see that their loss is fully made up. Besides the loss of custom in having the house shut up, a consider- able amount of valuable furniture and bed- ding were destroyed by fire with a view of preventing the spread of the disease.

FALSE REPORTS.

We learn that “enormously exaggerated re- ports are in circulation with respect to the number of persons infected with small-pox in this village. The facts are that no case of the disease has appeared on shore at all—the two infected persons being on board of ships in the harber. It is true that the master: of the ‘*Corinne” was two or three days in one of our boarding houses; but on the disease being dis- covered, he was promptly housed on an island outside of the harbor,—the boarding house well fumigated; all intercourse cut off between the family and the rest of the village, and the bedding and furniture of the room occupied by the patient burned. The other patient has not been on shore at all since the disease ap- peared on him, while the vessel in which he was is moored in the stream, with no means of having communication with the shore. In fact, we believe this village and vicinity are as clear of the disease as the North Pole, and few of the people are the least concerned about it. We have heard of a few instances in which children were detained from school ; but when the parents saw the absurdity of such conduct the children were sent as before. Persons at a distance, however, appear to think we are in imminent danger of having the whole place depopulated by this disease. We understand a St. John paper stated that two of our prominent men (Senator Howlan and Mr. White, Col. of Customs) were laid up with small-pox ; while some cackling old goose in St. John, alarmed lest the well-known good looks of the Senator should suffer, wrote him a long letter, recommending what treatment to adopt, and above all to apply liberal quan- tities of cream to the affected parts. This

ood Samaritan will no doubt be glad to learn that these two gentlemen were never better in their lives than at the present moment,
