The Small-pox Scare.
[By Telkgbaph.]
(Pee Piiess Association.)
Nelson, This day,
Considerable excitement has been caused by a supposed case of small-pox on Saturday last. A child was brought dowu from Dovedale, and fromils 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 medical men as to whether the case really was one of small pox, but Drs Boor and Sealey have pronounced the disease to be cow-pox. The child died last night. An inquest is to be held. The father (J. Thorn) is an old resident of Dovedale, and says the child has had eruptions on his skin similar to its present appearance for the past three years.
