This will necessitate another election as the sewerage was a tie and there will likely be a few more votes cast at the next election.

They aie making a |iciauiiai uiiiva^) ui uic iuvvii, wniu uy 5 ward, and enforcing tlio compulsory , vaccination law. In addition to this a c guard has been placed on every road leading from the town, and no one is ai- ^ lowed to leave the town without a cei- (. tilicate of vaccination, a physician and guard are also stationed at the depot, and noone allowed to board an out-going II ) train without a certificate or submitt ng f to vaccination. This is a laudable uc" tion of the Board of Health, and removes C c the danger of the disease being carried to f some other town from Union. They i lmvfl secured a lot of 4 } acres of land e from Mrs. John Eison, 2 miles from fl 1 town where a quarantine station or pest house will be built. There have been 11 cases quarantined at the 1'iuitt house in the country so far, some of whom Iruvc r recovered and be.n allowed to leave. . wmi? some new cases nave been re|K>rted in the last few days, we believe that, by fc prompt action in establishing an effective i quarantine of the premises, the disease ( . cau easily be kept under con'rol. The 0 citizens of the town should stand ready r to lend the Hoard of Health every assistance, and promptly report any sui' jtected case, so that an idvestigation can bo made without delay.

Luther Mansbip lectured lit the Oi>era louse last night, to an intelligent and ppreciative, though small audience, ['he fact is that the people have received otne disappointments in the non arrival f the expected lecturers, and th^y were liscouraged from coming out. Mr. Manhip deserved a larger audience, which ie would have had under other circumtances. As a mimic he is hard to exjel, nd he gets off the old time slavery negro o lairfection, you can almost imagine ou see "Marse John," all Mr. Manship lecds is a black face.

Mr. Workman, the man at the Whitck house, who has been sulleriug from ie disease some two vreeks, is convalcs?nt, and is so far on the road to re >very, that lie h is been removed back > the railroad camps, and the quarantine is been raised from the Whitlock house, he parties in the house were vaccinated, ie vaccination is taking all light and icre aic no symptoms of them taking ie small pox. The Doctor says that Lr. Workman had a very had case id he was very uneasy at one time. Mil. CLIFTON. Mr. Clifton, the small pox patient on liurch street, who broke out last week, also developing a bad case, but the octor does not anticipate as bad a case i that ol' Mr. Workman, as the symp>ms of the trouble in the throat are not id. There is not a soul on the premises ccept Mr. Clifton and his faithful wife, o one is allowed to go or come except ic attending physician. The near -ighbors are very uneasy, but we do >t think l hey need apprehend any ingcr, as there never was possibly a lore isolated or better quarantined case ian Ibis. The family even keep tlie indows of the housa closed, anil are ling every means known to keep it inly the house. This beats all the quaritine we have seen so far. The house oks desolate indeed.
