The following is an extract of letter
from John Cain, IN the Burlington Sentinel
under date of April I'd;
1t seems that "distance lends enchant-
ment to the view," as i notice that you say
small pox is ''raging in Rutland" There
has been but one case here and that small
boy, who is getting we'll Mr.. John w.
Cramton has had a slight attack of varioloid,
in mild form. Indeed, he is SO tall that
the disease has been unable to reach all
over him and he has been sitting up in his
room reading the papers and smoking his
cigar most of the time, since one week ago
to-day, when he first felt unwell from com
ing in contact with some one just from
Burlington. But joking aside--no one
here is alarmed, and have no cause OF so
being, for since Rutland has become DEM
oeratic town, the sins of the father are not
expected to be visited on the children. If
the day is pleasant Saturday, Mr.. Cramton
will be out in the open air and making ar
rangements for rebuilding the Bardwell
house, adding Mansard roof to the build
ing and renovatng the whole structure so
as to make it one OF the best hotels in the
state.
