           SMALL POX CASE REPORTED IN AREA
   On Friday last, a case was reported by DR. McKEE, supposed to be Small Pox. 
The patient, a MR. PATTERSON, foreman for MR. LOUGE, of this place, was 
promptly carried in the country to the house formerly occupied by ROBERT 
FINDLATER; a nurse was also sent with him. All precautionary measures will be 
taken by the town authorities to prevent the spread, and they advise that all 
persons who have not been vaccinated, should immediately be so. It seems that 
MR. PATTERSON has but recently returned from the North, where it is supposed 
he contracted the disease.
