-Four cases have occurred near Kingston, on the
Hudson. Two or three at Green6ash, opposite Alba

Where people have the disease in the country, it APP

We perceive by the papers that the County Courts
Of Fairfield, New-Haven, and Hartford have called
special sessions for the express purpose Of accommo
dating those Revolutionary Soldiers who design to
make application for Pensions under the late act Of
Congress. In Hartford and Fairfield counties the
Court meets in three or four different towns. As the
regular term Of The Court in this county does not COM
mence until the latter part Of September, would ii
be expedient call special session here There
are good nany applicants for the pensiOn.
