Last week in mentioning the removal from

woman suffering from smallpox, We stated the
fac, that the wagon for the purpose had been
hired from P0tees stable, In this place. IL IL but
proper 10 state that when the wagon was hired
from Mr.. Potee he was not appTised Of the use IL
was to be put 10, and when he discovered that II
had been used to convey q smallpox patient he
would not permit u TO be returned 20 his stable
but had IL driven into n woods where Il was left
with the blankets and harness, the horses being
turned loose 10 come home themselves. II Il

another wagon without knowing for what purpose
II l. 90 he used. iiis action in this matter IL
nended by the citizens Of the town.
