After so long, the scarlet fever has
disappeared from this vicinity and it is
to be hoped this unwelcome visitor will
not return, There have not been SO many
cases, but the fatality of the disease dur
ing its late visitation was unusual.

Mr.. Patrick II. Murray, of Hunterdon
county, as Deputy Keeper of the State
