Small Pox at Dansville.
Young John Kershner, son of Matthias Kershner, of Dansville, died of smallpox Sunday night. It was at his home that the first victim of the disease there died two weeks ago. It is not thought that the disease will spread through the community. Wayland and Mt. Morris have established a quarantine against Dansville.
