Piser, Esq. tina. there was no case OF small

Henry Allen our poor master telegraphed
TO DR.. Ketchum. Of Cambridge. TO come
and examine all those cases. DIR. Ketchum
came and on examination decided that
there were FIVE cases OF smallpox. I'm
mediate measures were taken TO quarantine
the infected street, and every other pre-
caution has been used 10 prevent the
spread Of the contagion. Our people have
nobly responded and acquiesced in every
thing required, and every restriction
placed upon them. On Monday night

SYNDICATE.
The teacher in one Of ouTdistricts whose
age leans ahttle to the sunny side OF 30 al
lows her pupils, and some Of them are
boys IA years old, to kiss her in the morn
ing when they come in and when they
leave the school room ct night. A pious
and worthy deacon more forgetful than
some others are Of the time, long ago,
when he liked to kiss the girls, sees i'm
propriety in it and protests against the
practice. II is 8 cheering sign when our
leading citizens bravely and firmly oppose
the wrong and defend the right. We
learn from the Scriptures that he who is
faithful in little matters shall DO account
Cd worthy Of higher trust. Press forward
brother in the cause Of pure morality.
Let your light shine and like the loved
Apostle teach us by precept and ex-
ample to "shun even the appearance Of
evil"
Tho school in West Sandgats has
closed through fear Of small pox which is
raging in Shushan. II is to be regretted
as the school was large one and success
fully conducted. The school in Dist.
No. suspended for few days for tho
same cause. The story which caused the
panic and scattered the children to their
homes proved to be hoax and the school
will probably commence again on Mon
day morning but with this precautionary
measure that no one will be allowed to
visit the school except those who send
children there. No case OF small poI
here As was reported.
Mr.. Editor. Recent occurrences go
to prove most conclusively that "sneak
