THE SMALL-POX.-- We are now able to state that, so far as we can learn,
there is not a case of Small-pox in Chariton; although we are sorry to have
to mention also, that all the cases heretofore mentioned (four in number) at
the Depot House, have died; the last one, that of MRS. TULL, the landlord's
wife, having been buried early Monday morning. The other deaths were a
young woman by the name of SCHOTTE, who died on Saturday night; a MRS. TULL,
recently married to a son of the landlord, who died a week ago last Sunday,
and the MR. BURDICK who died two weeks ago on Sunday as before mentioned in
the Patriot. There is said to be a case or two of varioloid yet in the
house, but these are not considered dangerous.

In regard to the cases "in Newbern" as it is generally stated, we learn from
Dr. Baird, who is the attending physician, that the cases are five in number
in a family by the name of TURL, living about three and a half miles from
Newbern, in this county, and that they are all improving, and will get well.

We will also mention that we are in receipt of a letter from Liberty Center,
in the corner of Warren County, from which we learn that there have been
seven cases in all in that neighborhood, and two deaths, but that the
disease is not spreading, and no particular alarm is felt now concerning it.
