Diphtheria is raging at Veedersburg and in a most malignant form. Several deaths have occurred this week, three in one family. The two boys and the girl of George Paugh, between the age of three and eight years, were all buried in one coffin yesterday afternoon. Mr. Paugh is the blacksmith at Veedersburg and a most respectable citizen. Every precaution should be taken to prevent the entrance of the dreaded disease to this city. A number of neighboring places have suffered terrible from the ravages in the last six months.
