Thresher Goes Through the Country Unknowingly Spreadâ€" ing the Smallpox, Toronto Empire. The smallpox scare has been revived in~ Ontario ~with=â€"a«â€"vengeauce> For weeks it has been making rapid progryss in North Gwillimbury, and till Tuesday the provincial board of. health do not appear to have beon in any way nformed about the outbreak. _ Then, threough the medium of a young Methodist clergyâ€" man, the noté of alarm was sounded, and Dr. Bryce, secretary of the board, went out on the Midiand division of the Grand.Trund railway" to inform himself of the condition of things. â€" He returned yesterday and stated that eleven certain cases of smallpox exist in North Gwillâ€" imbury, . He also says that steps have. been taken to prevent the spread of the‘ disease by imposing compulsory vaccinâ€" ation and closing all the schools and churches., * ‘ ‘utea Caawss “J'F‘.W Te ig errarants 0 6Â¥ }" s £ C "’v"' UId c'v.]', 3 ‘l % ld seem even worse than. the authorities have been made aware. \ â€"â€" The village of Keswick, on the south shore of Lake Simcoe, nearer the Northâ€" ern railway than the Midland, is a little place of about one hundred inhabitants, The conditien of things there three days ago is stated in the following extract from a letter from an unimpeachable person living in the District : There are ten cases in Keswick at present, and I would not. be surprised if there were thirty in a few days. ‘The people are ecrazy; they have been visiting each other and sitting up with each other, and they are all broken out with smallâ€" pox. ‘They had the threshing machine at the house: where it first broke out, and they took the child that was just covered over with the rash out of bed and put one of the threshers into the bed to sleep there, and he went all over the country, sleeping in a different bed every night, and broke out with smallpox last Sunday. HOW THE DISEASE ORIGINATED. Surrox, Ont., Oct. 25.â€"The reports in the papers of toâ€"day about the smallâ€" pox epidemic in North Gwillimbury are in some cases greatly exaggerated. David Sprague, exâ€"reeve of the townâ€" ship, was ill with inflmation of the lungs, and, being a very popular man, friends from.all parts of the township flocked to his house to render what assistance they could: . ~In the â€"midst of it his son, who who had been on a visit to the fair in Toronto, became ill, and the doctors in attendanceâ€"did not at first discover what his ailment was. Unfortunately in the meantime the threshing machine. with a number~of ‘neighbors to assist, were gathered together, and, with those <who had kindly volunteered to sit up with the sick man, a larger number than usual came in contact with the boy, whose ailâ€" ment proved to be that loathsome disâ€" ease ‘smallpox.© By this means it has spread much: farther than it otherwise would. sUTTON TAKING PRECAUTIONARY MEAâ€" sURES. A board ‘ofhealth has been formed and everyone who is known to have been exposed to the.contagion is isolated, Inâ€" spectors have been stationed at all the roads leading from the township. . Pubâ€" lic meetings of: all kinds have been stopped, compulsory vaccination is being enforced and every precaution taken to SMALi.POX THREATENING A WHGLE TOWNSHIP. THE DRE&DED SMALLPOX.

This is a most extraâ€" ordinary statement, for, by the greatest stretch of imagination, we are only one and a half miles from the Point, and there is not a case of smallpox within seven miles. â€" Toronto, ~Oct.â€" 25.â€"The outbreak of smallpox near the village of Keswick has stirred up the medical health departâ€" ment to renewed activity, so that danger to the citizens from that quarter may be avoided. All the employes of hotels at which farmers from that section usually stay have been vaccinated, and also the trainmen on the lines of railway running through the infected district. The medical health officer is also: lookâ€" ing after all the produce sent in from the townships where the disease exists, and wrll see that infeetion is not spread throuch its distribution.

BrErLIN, Oct. 27.â€"There was conâ€" sideraboe stir around the court house this morning at 10 o‘clock, the hour appointed for investigating the case against Hannah Boyd, and there was no small amount of disappointment when it was found that Mr. Spiers, a justice of the peace, and Detective Murray, had, an hour before, gone into the jail, and without anyone else being present, again remanded her till next Friday. Her brother and brotherâ€"inâ€"law, two very respectableâ€"looking young men, were here aud had Alex. Millar retained for the : prisoner. â€" Mr. Ball, of Galt, was also present, saying he wasretained by a person whose name he would not give. Mr, Bowlby, the county attorney, asked her relatives if they authorized Mr. Ball to appear for her, and on they sayâ€" ing they did not, he‘stated he would not have anything more to do with the case, Neither her relatives nor anyone else, except the magistrate and the detective, have yet been allowed to see her. | Burglars at Work.
