EHtor Vermont Plpair: Dear Sir: In
your paper for June eth among the items
from South Londonderry the following ap.
pears
Mr.. John Dorset, who resides in the
southern part of this town, buried two chill.
drcn Monday, aged respectively and years
old, aui has three more dangerously i'll with
diphtherh. This hns been peculiarly sad
case The neighbors have been afraid of the
terrible disease, aud the family have been
left almost alone with their dead and dying"
In justice to the ueighbors, who are the
best of people to aid the sick aud distressed
l ever had the fortune to be among, must
say that the item above quoted does them
great injustice. | have been with nearly ev.
cry family in the school district since last De-
cember the terrible disease dphtheria hay
ing hardly missed Il family since that time
aud at the time Mr. Dorsett's family were
sick aud dying there had been over 80 cases
in the school district to which Mr.. Dorset
sends his children; and know that the neigh
bors, who, of course, fear the disease, did not
lave them almost alone and dying, but came
and rendered them aid while nearly sick
themselves, some even neglccting their own
children 20 help Mr.. Dorset in his affection I:
and three of the number who faithfully
watched, even when unable to do so, have
since been sick. or are now, with the same
disease. | hardly think that another neigh
borhood can be found where one and all act
ed more promptly, neglecting their own safe
ty more, than they did in this case att, nded
the family of Mr.. Dorset, and know that
what say is true but one would suppose
there were no other sick, or that they. the
neipbbO let them lie and die The ppidcm.
c has ragged all winter, and new cases are
breaking out every day, and up to this dnte
there have been 81 cases and deaths in the
school district. Each one can be traced to
direct Infection or contagion by going or be-
ing among those who had been, or were sick
with diphtheriG. No doubt your correspou-
dent thought that such were the facts, but if
a family in distress is never neglected any
more than Mr.. Dorsett's was by the neigh
bors, they will suffer but little from that
