Editor Of the Monitor For some rea-
son, as yet unknown to the residents of
Craftsbury Common, IL report has been
circulated that several cases of typhoid
fever have existed there and that seven
students in the academy had been obliged
leave school during the past term on that
account. In the first place, there have
been in the memory of people here, only
four cases of typhoid fever, and all of
these occurred several years ago, and
were traced directly to a pool of water
under the house in which the disease
originated. In the second place, not
seven students left the academy last term
for any, or all causes, until its close.
| Only one left on account OF sickness, and
that one was not well when he came here
and went home, where he was ill, for a
few weeks, with slight attack of bill
lious fever. But one other student who
| left the school is now, or has been, i'll
in anyway, In this case the disease is
| typhoid fever, but cannot in any way be
honestly attributed to his sojourn In this
place. His home is in Albany and in
| that place, the ''storm centre of this
disease this season, he contracted, and
! still suffers from IL fever. Lest the re-
port might possibly reach the ears of
prospective students, or their parents,
and SO prevent them from availing them
solver OF the advantages of our excellent
academy, the above is respectfully SUBJ
mitted as a true and correct statement
of the case. JUSTICE.
