THE SMALL POX EPIDEMIC.

(Fkom the Stoney '-News" oflstinst.)

The recent outbreak of small-pox, which the authorities were hoping had been effectually grappled with, has again assumed a serious aspect.. Since noon on Friday no less than seven fresh cases have been re ported, and the circumstances surrounding the outbreak are calculated to give rise to considerable uneasiness When the patient Olive Byrnes was removed to the small-pox hospital, the most stringent inquiries failed to reveal tho source of her infection, and it has till tho present been a mystery. Yesterday, however, it was dis covered that a child of Mrs Cohen, who lives at 290, Elizabeth-street, recently had an attack of small-pox, from which, indeed, it has not wholly recovered. The woman Byrnes was, it has transpired, for some days in Mrs Cohen's bouse previously to her attack. There seems little reason to doubt that the publican Baird received his infection from Mrs Byrnes. It will be seen by the following report of the fresh cases that they are all directly or indirectly trace able to tho illness of the child Cohen. On Friday afternoon the medical at tendant of a young man named Janus Brady, 18 years of ige, residing at No. 19, Hunt-street, off Macqvarie-street South, reported to the Board of Health his sus picions as to the sickness from which his patient wa3 suffering. The Government expeit examined Brady, and confirmed the suspicions of that person's private attend ant. Later in the evening of the same day, it was reported that a child of Water Police Constable Edwards was suffering from small-pox, and an examination proved the report to be correct. Shortly afterward this report was followed by one to the effect that a child of Mr Barry, bootmaker, of Oxford-street, was suffering from the dreaded disease. Tho child was unvac cinated, and it is said that both tho last mentioned patients have been attending the Crown-street public school. Tho next case leported was that of Chas. Tyler, residing in Albion-street, Leichhardt. Yesterday morning tho medical attendant of Mrs Christiansen, who lives next door to Mrs Cohen, in Elizabeth-street, reported that she wa3 suffering from variola, and a medical examination confirmed the report. Tho next case which came under the notice of the health authorities was that of a boy named Herman Deehow, living in 52, Mary-street, near Elizabeth-street. Three other patients, all children, have since been discovered. Their names are respectively, Frank Percy Lowe, 7 years of age, in 196, Oxford-street, opposite the Barracks in Paddington, Kachael Marks, 12 yearj of age, in 137, Campbell-street, and Emma Kingsley, of Chapel-lane. All these patients have been removed to the quarantine station, where no less than 57 persons had already been quarantined. At a meeting of the Board of Health on Saturday morning, it was determined to largely increase the strength of the staff at its command, and accordingly a number of fresh hands were yesterday put on. It is needless to say that the usual precautions have been taken with regard to all the houses where the disease has shown itself, and in this work the new hands were all busily engaged under the superintendence of the more experienced men. An extra ambulance service is, being got ready, and further hospital accommodation is being prepared to the extent of 200 beds. The Government medical adviser (Dr. Mackellar) desires it to be notified that all cases should be reported as early as possible, and ho earnestly solicits tho eo-cperation of both the general public and members of the medical profession in his endeavours to cope with the epidemic. A man, whoso name has not been ascer tained, applied for admission to the Sydney Hospital today. He appeared to be in a very weak state, and upon examination was pronounced to be suffering from true variola. The man was at once isolated in the hospi tal yard, and the Health Department was communicated with.

Closing of Public Schools.

Today Dr. Mackollar decided to take the extreme step of closing the Crown-street public schools. At 11 a.m. a party, con sisting of Mr E. Johnson, Under-Secretary of Education, Drs. Mackellar, Ashburton- Thomson, Goode, Muskett, andltundle, ac companied by Mr Kemp, architect of public schools, and representatives of the press, were present at the schools. It had also been decided to examine all tho children for vaccination marks, and this wa3 accord ingly done. Each medical man took a room, and every assistance was rendered by Mr Edwin Banks, Mrs Greville, and Mrs McTaggart, the heads of the different de partments of the school. The whole work was very speedily accomplished. The object which Dr. McKellar aimed at was frustrated somewhat by the action of the teachers, who, on the assembling of the school sent away nearly 100 children who re side near the infected houses ; but in taking this course they were only following out their instructions. A rough estimate showed that the percentage of good vaccination marks was small, and was exceeded by the number of bad marks, while the unvaccin ated ohildren were equal to 50 per cent. This, however, ia only approximate. The school was afterwards "broken up," and all tho children were sent homo. The school will be kept closed till further notice. The Education Department will send round circulars prohibiting teachers of schools from admitting any of those children who have been attending at Crown-street.

Prosecution of a Medical Man. Instructions were issued to the Crown Solicitor to-day to proceed against Dr. Donovan, of College street, on four distinct charges, viz, one for each patient he attended who has developed variola. The penalty which is attached to proof of neglect to report a case of small-pox is £50, and if this amount is inflicted in each case, the penalty will reach the sum of £200, with costs.

. It has been discovered that Dr.^Donovan was ittending the child Cohen, and was also attending the "children Marks, Lowe, and Kingsbnry, one of whom, at least, went to troll-known public school, and two other patients were pupils in the public school. The other cases are also traceable to the same source. -All four patients attended by Dr. Donovan bear signs* of variola in a very marked degree, and it is the opinion of the authorities that it was impossible for anyone to mistake the nature of the disease.

MELBOURNE DIVORCE CASES.

Four cases lately tried in Melbourne appear to testify to the prevalence of marital in felicity in the Victorian capital. In the case of Cawkwell v. Cawkwell, the petitioner, a worn, but still young looking, woman, said she married the respon dent in 1877. The respondent is much older than the petitioner. She has had three children. In August, 1883, differences arose which led to a separation. Thoro was a re conciliation, but they-again separated. In February, 1884, serious trouble resulted from an affection displayed by the respon dent toward a servant girl named Maggie Murray. Upon one occasion the petitioner discovered her husband and this girl in circumstances which could only have been capable of one interpretation. Tho respondent denied the allegations. Mr Neighbour, in opening the case, said that it was instituted by a wife against her husband on the ground of the latter's mis behaviour with a servant girl. The petitioner had been a widow with three children, and was supporting herself in a" small grocery business, and by rents which she received from some cottages. The respondent was considerably older than the petitioner when he married her, and he carried on the business of tile manu facturer in Malvorn. In April, 1883, sheiell ill. It .was then that she noticed a familiarity between her husband and the servant Maggie Murray. She heard certain affectionate passages between them, which rendered her suspicious. For instance, she heard her husband ask the girl whether she had sufficient clothing, and whether she wanted slippers, &c. On the 15th Feb ruary, 1884, she missed the servant at dinner time from the kitchen, She accord ingly looked for her, and found her with her husband in one of the rooms Subsequently her husband admitted his guilt, and the girl did so. The parties then instituted proceedings for a separation, which fell through, owing to a dispute re garding a piece of land, and the present proceedings were instituted. The counsel added that the girl had not been made a party to the suit, but would be called to give evidence. In tho other case, Edith Webster Osborne (formerly Morgan), of Carlisle-street, St. Kilda, prayed for a dissolution of her mar riage with Ralph Frederick Osborne, of Toorak Road, Toorak, livery stable-keeper, on the grounds of misconduct and cruelty. The petition said that the parties were mar ried m St. Stephen's Church, Richmond, by the Rev. C. T. Perks, on March 23, 1882. The petitioner is 21 years of age, and was born in Hothatn. The respondent is 40 years of age, and was born In Croydon, "Surrey (England). There are two children by the marriage, both boys, the elder 1 year and 9 months

old', and the yofinger 4 months and 2 week", The- parties resided in Jackson Toorak, tintil July 4, 1884, wnen "they finally separated. The petitioner first suspected the respondent of having mis conducted himself in June, 1883. Ho would never supply the petitioner with pocket-money. She could scarcely obtain the smallest coin, and when the petitioner asked the respondent for money for travel ing expenses aud other necessaries, he re plied, " I cannot give yon any money: I want it for other women." The petitioner receivedareply like this on several occasions. Upon another occasion the petitioner missed an emerald ring, which had been given to her by her father, and the respondent said,' "I have given it to another woman." About this time several women called at the house at late hours of the night and asked for the respondent. These women often called at the house in the forenoon, and walked about in front of the place, sometimes for more than two hours at a time. The respondent seldom returned home before 1 o'clock in the morning, and he sometimes remained absent all night. Often when he returned home late, he said, "I have been to see my girls.1 The petitioner saw the respondent about November, 1883, leave the room of Mar garet Reilly (a servant in the respondent's employment) at about 10 o'clock at night, and at the time he was not wholly dressed. The petitioner had heard him enter the room about 20 minutes previously. The petitioner was then ill with a severe cold, in bed. The respondent misconducted him self with Margaret Reilly on several occa sions. The respondent had, in July and August, 1884, visited a bad house, and had misconducted himself there. In May, 1882, two months after their marriage, the re spondent began to illtreat the petitioner. He threatened to strike her, and swore at her, and threatened to kick her out of the house. In July, 1883, the respondent struck her on the chest because his dinner was not ready. On December 19,1882, the petitioner was in bed, having been confined a few days previously. The retpondent re turned home about 1 o'clock in the morning and began to knock in the door of the room. The nurse then, opened the door. The respondent entered the room. He was under the influence of liquor, and he struck his wife as she lay in bed. In April, 1884, the respondent threatened to kill her. and searched his pocket for a knife. On the next day the respondent said, "It is a good thing you did not show any fear, for if you had, I am frightened to think whet I might have done." In June, 1883, the re spondent threw a plate of pudding at the petitioner, and knocked her down with his fist. About the end of 1883 the respondant was in his stables when the petitioner came in. The respondent thereupon behaved in a disgraceful manner toward her. Judge Holroyd granted a decree nisi for a divorce. The petitioner will have custody of the children until the decree is made absolute.

The following cases were heard on Wed nesday at the R.M. Court, Port Albert, be fore J. S. Clendon, KM., J. Shepherd, and W. Payne, J,P.'s:-E. Witheford v. E. Marcroft and T. Inger: Claim, L 4 16s, six teen days' work, at 6s per day. As both defendants admitted that plaintiff was en titled to amount claimed, but disputed as to which should pay, the defendants being joint contractors, the Court gave judgment for plaintiff and 10s costs, defendants to settle their own business outside. Edward Browne and others petitioned against the recent election for Tauhoa Riding. There were three allegations contained in petition: (1) Allowing a person named William Part ridge to vote, Thomas Partridge's name being on the roll. It was shown that William Partridge recently, owned the pro perty, and paid the rates, but had transferred it to bin son Thomas. (2) Re fusing to allow a person to vote who owned the property and paid the rates, but the County Council clerk had omitted to place the name on the roll when copying out rolls for the Returning Officer. (8) Ho screen or division in polling-booth had been pro vided. The evidence disclosed loose busi ness in the matter of making out the rolls; but no corrupt practice waa in sinuated. ' The Court would give, judgment in ten days. Edward Browne v. D'Aicy Hamilton : The defendant was charged with a breach of the Regulations of Local Elec tions Act at the foregoing election. The Resident Magistrate dismissed the case, as Clause 54 gave the power to take proceed ings to the Resident Magistrate only. Mr Browne disclaimed any spirit of vindictive ness in taking these proceedings, and the magistrate showed by his patience in allow ing all parties at considerable length to state their case, and taking ton days to consider it, that his judgment will be an unbiased one.—(Correspondent.) ■

Wonders of the Age.

Why is it so many people are never satisfied 1 Their homes are marvels of comfort and luxury, friends are generous and affectionate; they are educated and refined, capable; not only of enjoying, but of imparting happiness to others; yet they are dissatisfied, miserable, and, really without intending to do so, make others miserable. Their blood is impure, they have taken a heavy cold, or they are bilious. A few doses of Emil Frese's Hamburg Tea would remove all obstructions, and enable them to enjoyVwith renewed seat, the pleasures they are now compelled to forego. , • ■. ■; : :

The Symptoms Entirely Dis appeared.

Sydney, February 13,188*. Dear Sir,—About a month ago I was ad vised to use your Hamburg Tea for a severe attack of indigestion from which I was suffering. For some time previously I had been afflicted with pains in the liver and stomach,.and constant headache and oppression. Since taking the Hamburg Tea these symptoms have entirely disappeared, and I have never since -been troubled with them. I have every confidence In recommending it, and have witnessed its use in other cases with like result.—Yours faithfully, : ' James S. Donovan.

Collins & Co., Wholesale Stationers, Queen-street, Auckland, Gives His Experience. August 7,1881. Jjj Messrs M.Levy & Co., Auckland. . >> : Dear Sirs,—About a fortnight ago I severely § sprained my shoulder, and could not without: pain Hftmy hand to my month. Several times a day I had St. Jacobs Oil well rubbed in, which considerably helped my recovery, and I am ~ again able to take gentle dumb-bell exercise. I may also state that I and many other athletes . whom I know when competing in rowing, run ning, or any athletic competitions, and having to ■ compete more than once with a short intermis sion bet ween each race, have the Oil well rubbed into the limbs ; this takes the cramping and tired feeling from the muscles that always . ensues for a while after hard work, and . brings a man quite fresh to the scratch again. • While recommending the Oil to Mr Burgess, Captain of the North Shore Rowing Club, he told me I must not expatiate to him about an old friend of his; he assured me that he was sure that his doing as I recommended had won him several races at past Regattas.; v• r " Yours faithfully, N. W. TURNBULL, Amateur Champion Heavy Dumb-bell Lifter and All-round Athlete of Australia. Hearty Local Testimony; :; . Star Holel, Auckland, Aug. 23.1584. : Messrs M, Levy & Co., Auckland.
