Alarming Increase in the Number of Cases. The alarming extent of the dreaued and loathe some sinalipox in New York within the past two weeks, and siocking account of the ravages of that fell modern leprosy in the City of Brotherly Love, has, very naturally, awakencd an echo of fear in the heart of the community iv the City of Churches, This was apparent yesterday upon evcry side where the subject of health was broached. It is true that THE SMALLPOX TAS BEEN LURKING abont Brookivn were since the spring of 1870, aud that last winter it played sad havoc among the den- izens of that region in the Eastern district knowa as Dutchtown. Duriug the winter hercalvan eTorts were made by the nealtn authorities, under the lead- ership of Dr. Cochran, to eradicate tne disiguring melaay from that section of the city by insil- Vuthig & thogough system of quarantine, the free use of disiusectants and @ round ol vaccinattous, ‘Those wuo were aillicted were despatcied to the County Smallpox liospiual at Flaivush as jast as they were found, and taere, with the com- mendable care aud treatment accorded, It was ound twat the percentage of cures was very larze. “Ir we can only confine the disease to Du.catown,’”” said the sanitary sentinels last winter, “we will bo ail rignt, aad have no tears of it becom ng ep demic.” But it happeaed as the spring advanced upon whiter—which season appours to favor the spread of that borribie contagion—that nests of S.nalipox were discovered in the heart of the west- ern district.

While these are beiag discussed the work might be done, subjecting every person to vaccination except such as have been exposed to smallpox repeatedly without tak- ing it.
