ir ' ' ?licly admonish the citizens

b by writing the same on niter doors in large capital 3W, That this meeting, irticularly those who shall tamselves by subscription do, will pay such sum or s shall be annexed to their five names, for the purpose ng some nurse to attend to charitable objects, who now,

lvVn, the jndispensible ne- ' of, resorting immediately

-nation in their ramines; tlat a committee of Health

be appointed, to consist of five persons, whose duty it shall be to see this benefit extended to the poor families in and about this town, and whose duty .it shall also be, to collect from each individual; subscriber the sum or sums annexed to their respective names and to apply the same, as they may in their discretion think proper. Resolved, That John Meek, William C. Bramwell, John Pugh, Jeremiah Sullivan and Dawson Blackmore, be that committee. Resolved, That the Editor of the Indiana . Republican,' be 'requested to give the foregoing resolutions, three insertions in his paper. David M'Clure,, Ch'n. H. P. Thornton, Sec'y. The committee on whom has devolved the duties assigned in the foregoing resolutions, beg leave to suggest to the citizens, the propriety of adhering as strictly as may be, to the resolutions adopted by the meeting. If the health of our families and ourselves, the prosperity of the town, -an uninterrupted attention to business, and. -7 1 grounding country, be matters of concern, it behooves us individually and collectively to be on

the alert in arresting the influence of the disease 'ere it circulates too far. Measures have already been taken by the committee to prevent intercourse with the sick. Upon the citizens much depends; We have but one object in view. If they acquiesce in the wishes of the committee, and' submit and aid in carrying into effect, the provisions contained in the foregoing resolutions, that object will be effectually secured. The faculty of this town will vaccinate, gratuitously all those who will call upon them, at regular hours. Before we close, the committee will remark for the satisfaction of their friends in the country, that (so far as has come to their know ledge) but one case exists, and if the citizens are sufficiently cautious, no other case will exist. But little danger, therefore, need be apprehended at present. Wm. C. BRAMWELL, JOHN PUGH, JOHN MEEK, J ER. SULLIVAN.
