Your correspondent was in error as to
the residence of Gilman Bowers, whose
death was announced last week, as it
should have been given Charlestown in
stead of South Charlestown. But as
South Charleftown is really in Charles
town proper and not in another town,
the error was not as grievous as it might
have been.
Mrs. Fuller was called away from
town to attend the funeral of brother

the hope that
"No chilling winds, as poisonous breath,
Can reach the Heavenly shore;
Sickness anu sorrow, pain and death
Are felt and feared 20 more"

From another correspondent
There has been quite an excitement in
Charlestown for the past two weeks,
owing to The breaking out of influenza
among Dennis Coughs cattle. The
state veterinary was sent for, also DR.,
Wilkinson of Claremont, and their treat
ment was said to have no effect. DR.
Nichols of ST. Adams was then sent fol
and at once located the character of the
disease, and found it to be an epidemic
catarl h and mulrain. The murrain Of
cattle is another disease of the same
origin. and primary character, but Of
rtdoubled malignancy, and more severe
among cattle than horses, and of mos
fatal character. 1t appears to occur in
the double character of an epidemic
disease. Since DIR. Nichols treatment
the worst cases are out of danger and ut
new cases have broken out.
