Show EVaver Horn?. From the Square Dealer of tho 8th: KvHry'ody in Beaver btiil adlures t ' his winter suit. The district court convened yesterday yester-day morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Richard Hume has superceded Mr. Kugerson in tliu telegraph office. The legal profession express themselves them-selves well satisfied with thw proapucti at Lends. Tney think tbe mines (of litigation) aro good. The Pioebe Record reports small pox amoug tho Indians who res id b at and near Piocbe. The reds, says the Record, were promptly required to decamp. Tho fatal lung disease which hau prevailed in almost every settlement in southern Utah for month, past, appears to be increasing. Wd do uot tuow the exact number of sick in Uvavcr, but Dr. Christian informs us that be has twenty-two patients. A yreat many tntvo recovered, but oliiwre a tn f-!;wig sick daily. Advices (rum tne Battlements both south and north, represent a large portion of the children afflicted with a frightful per cent, of mortality. The dnerisn lias not besn, as far as we know, well defined. It is much like pusuiuonia, but its partiality lor the juvenile population gives it a new characteristic. There are perhaps other resptecU in which it diflers from regular pucumonia. The attack i centrally comes on with a sharp pain iu the lower portion ot tho lung-1 or pleura. The pain is much like pleurisy. There is generally gen-erally a dry suppressed cough that hurts liio patient Vtiiy I much. Iu addition to the sharp paini in Inwr rwinn of tlm Iiim lUc i patient complains greatly of Bonmenu in the lungs. Where the cough is, controlled, and mde loose, the ! I patient rapidly recovers, but if it rs-j rs-j mains dry, the inflammation rapidly increases, and the patient soon has great difficulty of breathing, which throws worse till death ensues. The luwer portion of the lungs appear to till up, arresting tbe breathing. |
