o-Curred to him when ho was farming in
Illinois. "I was troubled," he said, "with
skunks, and they did a great deal of dam-age

traps, and, alter a bit, I < aught a lot if

my neighbor killed one ol 'em, but that

died, that we calculated to lot all the rest

kind, although the interpretation is not
removal to be regulated by lhe same rules
as govern continuances and removals at
the general terms of the Superior Courts
of Law; the Clerk <1 the Superior Court
of Law shall bsue suhpenas lor witnesses

History of Small Pot.
This loathsome disease, which has been
developed throughout tho country by Yan-kee
faith, 4s of interest onougb ;o gi\e a
short article a place in our columns on its
history, which we compile mainly from tho
"Penny Magazine."
In the history of tho world we find at
various times the record of epidemic or
spreading diseases under name of Plagues,
the word plague is apt to convey a very
indefinite idea to One not of the medical
fraternity which is unable to descrioo, bu'
in reality it i* nothing mure or less than a
lever. The great plague of London in
1665 caused the death oi 8.U00 persons in
one week, and wasCf the nature of epi
demic of spreading diseases, which may
take iis orgin in lhe remotest district of an
extensive country, and yet if I.B pi ogres*
be independent of the peculiarity of soil
and climate it may soon come to oven un
tho whole. In the same way, although a
spread.tig malady commences in one hem-isphere
of the gl >be, i', may after a lime
invade the others. Small pox, previous
lo vacillation, was a plague which exerci-sed
a still more destructive power than any
other and whole districts were depopulated
by it. The physieians of ancient Greece
and Rome, it docs not appear were at all
litquainied with small pox. . We have to
look for traces of its.early progr -ss farther
cast. In the tradition of the people ot
China and Hindoosian, it was enumerated
as one of the common diseases ol the coun-tries,
and those countries must be consider-ed
as the cradle of small pox which would
most naturally be iho result of a dense
population and tho filth engendered from
poverty, its first appearance in western
Asia was about tbe middle oT the six h
century and Europe was not invaded till a
later period.
In the year 569 tho cUy of Mecca in
Arabia was besieged by an army of Abys-sicnian
Christians under tbe command of
Abreha, wiih tbe expectation ol destroying
a Pagan temple within that city. In "this
army the small pox committed dreadful
havoc and the measles appeared at the same
time, so we are lold. It reached Great
Britain in the beginning of the 9 h centu-ry,
in 1517 Si.Lomingo one of the West
India Islands was infected by il and not
less than one million of Indians were dis
troyed by it and the muidcious arms ol
the Spanish invaders. In 152U il c-intnen-ce^
in Cuba and from thence it was <a i i« d
to Mexico j MI the latter country in a short
time it is computed throe und a hi. If mil-lions
of its inhabitants were carried off' by
it including the brother andsuccossor d the
