BARRE The case of small pox which broke out
in the family of Mr.. Wells Frenchman, last
Friday morning, causing great deal of excite
ment terminated in the death of the victim on
Monday. 1t was Rowell child, and had been ex-
posed TO the disease while on recent visit to
Canada Considerable alarm is still felt, fearing
that the disease may spread in consequence of
insufficient precautions to prevent it .. The alarm
of fire on Sunday afternoon brought out our citi-
zens in large numbers 1t proved false one, and
originated in a big smoke from the hog-house
chimney on the farm of Mr.. Arthur Daggett, at
Twingsville From the point of observation, the
residence of DIR. Spalding, it had the appearance
of enveloping the barn, which was thought to be
in full process of destruction by the devouring
element. Mr.. w. c. White, the popular secre-
tary of the Washington County Agricultural
Society, has shown us the product of four kernels
of rye on his farm which grew respectively, this
season, forty-three, ffty-one ffty-two and fifty
three perfect heads. An average head Of rye
yielded ffty-two kernels making combined pro-
duct of twenty-seven hundred and ffty-six kernels
