SMALL p X.-There are eleven
cases of the small pox in Cabot Plain,
but all are doing as we'll as might be ex-
pected.
RETURNING DEsERTERs.-Th e
Times says about dozen deserters have
surrendered themselves at Burlington,
the most of them from Vermont regi-
ments, though there are three from New
York regiments one from the 9Th, one
from the 18th, and one from the 34th.-
Some of them having tried foreign re-
sidence do not like it, and as there is no
prospect of their being secure from he
penalty of their offence during their life
time, il they live in the United States,
unless they accept the profiered ciemen
cy of the President, they think their
best course is to return to duty.
e. Small Pox seems not to be clear
ed out of the county yet. There is
said to be a case at Perkinsville, J ohm
son, and another is reported in Eden.
We had hoped that it would not again
appear in this county, after the success
ful manner in which it was treated in
johnson village. There can however,
be no real safety in any precaution short
of vaccination, and all who have not al
ready been vaccinated should at once
avail themselves Of the security which
this treatment gi7es.-L0moiRe Nesos-
