September 20
Considerably excitement has been caused by a supposed case of small-pox. On Saturday last a child was brought down from Dovedale, and from its appearance fears were entertained that it was suffering from small-pox. After being admitted to an isolated ward of the hospital, some difference of opinion was expressed by the medical men as to whether the case really was one of smallpox, but Drs. Boor and Sealey have pronounced the disease to be cow-jox. The child died last night, and an inquest is to be held. The father, J. Horn, an old resident of Dovedale, says the child has had eruptions on its skin similar to its present appearance for the past three years.
