 Smallpox.
 Another case of smallpox has appeared in New Britain, and all the patients have been taken to the pesthouse
 A case of smallpox is reported in Shelton, 8 few minutes walk from Birmingham. There was quite 8 scare among the em- ployes of the Beecher Manufacturing com- pany in Meriden yesterday morning, on ac- count of the watchman having been taken sick and rash appearing all over his body, which was feared to be due to smallpox. Dr. Newport was sent for and examined the man carefully, and greatly relieved the employees by pronouncing it case of German measles The sister of the Brush girl, who died last week in Bridgeport of smallpox, is still at the pest house, and will remainhthe until the time is past for the disease to appear from the exposure she has undergone. The other members of the Brush family and the family living in the house adjoining have been visit ed daily by physician since the dead girl was taken sick None of them show any signs of the disease as yet, and it is thought they will not, on account of their prompt vaccination. The only case reported to the Board of Health that has not previously been reported in the papers is that of patient in Housatonic ayenue, who is now nearly re- covered The health officer, as soon as he learned of the case, caused the yellow flag to be displayed and carried out the other pre- cautionary measures to keep the infection from spreading.
