Transportation -- Water - Wrecks
Since the late storm two wrecks have been reported to us along our coast -- the one a brig, which went ashore on the first day of January, on Dorson Shoals, near Life Saving station No. 8, loaded with railroad iron -- the other a three massed vessel near Chincoteague Island, loaded with lumber. In neither case were any lives lost.

Moral -- Gambling
William Kewell, an itinerant gambler from Baltimore, was arraigned before Justice Scarburgh on Wednesday last, on the charge of keeping and exhibiting a gaming table at Pungoteague on the day previous. The flagrancy of the act was so great, and the admission of the prisoner coupled with evidence, also, that the Justice fixed bail in $750, and in default committed him to jail. On Friday a writ of habeas corpus was heard before Judge Gunter, when the prisoner was released on bail of $250, Geo. E. Bull being surety. The penalty for the offence charged against Kewell is imprisonment for not less than two months and not more than twelve, and a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1000.

Infrastructure -- Public - Government : Public health
Our exchanges continually report the spread of small-pox throughout the country. Not only is it spreading with considerable rapidity, but it is generally virulent in type. The ravages of this fearful scourge CAN BE STAYED, and we again urge our School authorities to take action as the law requires. A failure to do this is not only a violation of the laws of the State, but of the laws of humanity. We urge upon our people that safety can only be found in vaccination, and we urge it Now-that when the terrible disease shall come, AS IT MAY COME AT ANY TIME, we shall be prepared to save ourselves. The only possible safety is vaccination.
