Mr.. EDITOR: Since l wrote you last,
Waterbury has Kept on in its (of late) usu-
ally quiet way of life, no particular enter
prise manifested in any one branch of bust
ness unless it is by our merchants who
struggle to keep up their usual amount of
trade. The removal of Colby's children's
carriage and cab mandatory to Montpelier,
was hard stroke upon the business interests
of our town, from which it will take years to
recover.
We have received our portion of the Nor
risville " small pox scare" through Henry
Luce who was in the same house with those
"kanucks :" when the disease was first dis
covered. and who succeeded in reaching us
before he was taken ill. Proper precautions
have been taken by the town authorities and
it is hoped it may extend no further.
see your correspondent from this place
says L" it is proposed to hold Sunday evening
temperance meetings, etc." hope he will
not fail to notify US through your paper
when these are to commence, as [ shall be
glad to attend and as yet have received nc
positive information that such meetings arc
to be held. Also, he forgot to tell you that
the fine imposed upon Mr.. Norris had sucI
an effect upon him that he refuses to give
even a cup of cold water to any Of our thirsty
townsmen, saying that if he cannot be per
mitted to sell cider he will not give awal
Water.
