MORMONISM AND THE SMALL POX.—There having been several cases of the small pox in the village of James-town, Chautauque county, a committee of citizens was appointed to take measures to pre-vent its spreading. In their report the committee state that their efforts to prevent the spread of the disease have been hindered by a sect calling themselves Mormonites, who profess to believe that the disorder will not attack them, neither would they spread it, although they might come in contact with others not protected, even if the small pox matter covered them. Notwithstanding their belief, one of the Mormons had been seized with the disease, and it was feared that this sect would be the means of scattering the infection through the country.—Rochester N. Y.
