SMALL Pox AT cLAREMoNT, N. II.

Twenty Cases There and In Two Near
by TOwns---Two Deatbs---the Dis
ease First Thought to be Measles.
Brattleboro's small pox scare last year
with single case was insignificant In COM
parison with the present situation at Clare
mont, n. II. Eleven persons In five diff
ferent families are now i'll with the disease
and one death has occurred. In the ad-
joining towns of Croydon and Newport
nine cases have been discovered, one of
which has resulted fatally. The disease
was brought from Chicago by Geo. Bart
lett and family, who moved into a small
house at Newport. The family were soon
afflicted with an eruptive disease which
was supposed to be measles. George w.
Cain, one of their visitors, became i'll two
weeks later and DR.. l. A. Watson, secreta-
ry of the state board of health, who was
called by the local board, at once pronounc-
ed the disease small pox. A strict quaran-
tine was then enforced, but before this peo-
pie had visited at both houses and the
physician had gone from them to other
houses without taking the usual precau-
tions. The cases first discovered at Clare
mont were also supposed to be measles for
several days at least. The board of health
at Claremont have all the cases in four
buildings, which are under police guard
day and night. One physician has been
engaged to treat all the patients and he is
quarantined in his Office and not allowed
to visit other families. The board of health
have prohibited public entertainments and
canvassing from house to house, and are
hopeful that small pox will be stamped out
in few weeks. Hundreds of people are
being vaccinated.

WEST BRATrIEBoRo.
A Golden wedding.

The fftieth anniversary of the marriage
of Mr. and Mrs. Jared Holbrook was pleas
antly celebrated at their home on Monday,
April 20. A company of their elderly
friends gathered in the afternoon and spent
a few social hours. Ice cream and cake
were served, after which old times and in
teresting experiences of the half century
were talked over. Then Psalm 1903 was
read, after which a poem, originally pre-
pared by Rev. l. N Tarbox, ID. D., for an
other golden wedding but appropriate for
this hour, was presented by Rev. Mr..
GrOut, and prayer was offered by Rev. Mr..
Babbitt. Letters were read from Mrs.
Cora Barber, one of the daughters now re-
siding in Kentucky, and from one of the
grandsons, Ralph Reed of Oneonta, N. Y.
A small party stayed to tea. In the even
ing other friends came in and rendered
their congratulations to the worthy couple.
Jared Holbrook and Charlotte H. Chaplin
were married in Newport, N. H., April 20,
1S45. For two years they lived in his ma
tive place, Townshend, this state. Then
they removed to Grafton, where they lived
four years. After this they returned to
Townshend for another year. Thence they
removed to West Brattleboro, where they
have lived ever since, 43 years. For 25
years they were in district No. on the
farm now occupied by John Harris. Three
years their home was in the house at the
junction of Greenleaf street and the ceme-
terry road. The remainder of the time they
have lived at their present home on the
Bonnyvale road. Their four children are
all living, viz, Mrs. Cyrus Reed of Brat
tleboro, Frank S. Holbrook of Newell,
Iowa, Mrs Barber of Elizabethtown, KY,
and Silas, who lives with his parents.
There are nine grandchildren. The ar
rangements for the anniversary were made
by Mrs. Reed and Silas Holbrook and were
very successfully carried out. A sunny,
comfortable day, a goodly company of
neighbors and relatives and friends, and
many words of hearty good will made the
occasion one to be gratefully remembered.

Tuberculosis at Vernon.

Cattle Commissioner II. NJ. Arms If
Springfield and DIR. Rich of the experiment
station at Burlington made their second
visit to Vernon Monday, when they tested
the dairy herds of George K Stebbins and
Henry Brooks by administering tuberculin.
Out of the % animals remaining in the
Brooks herd none responded to the test,
and they therefore appeared to be in health
so far as infection from tuberculosis was
concerned. Three animals have recently
been taken from the herd to New Hamp-
shire, but whether by sale or because they
were previously owned there the commits
sioners were not definitely informed The
general condition of the Brooks herd is far
from satisfactory, and the commissioners
were satisfied that the animals had lacked
proper food and care. In the Stebbins
herd five animals responded to the test.
These were slaughtered and all showed the
presence of tuberculosis. About 100 peo-
pie were present when the cows were killed
and all were entirely satisfied with the
work of the commissioners. The Stebbins
herd was in good condition, showing an err
ror in overlooking if on either side. Both
Mr. Stebbins and Mr.. Brooks cordially
thanked the commissioners for what they
had done. In these cases, as in all Others
TO which the Vermont board have given
their official attention, the attitude of Yer
mont dairymen is entirely different from
that reported SO often in Massachusetts,,
where repeated accounts have come of bit
ter opposition to the efforts to stamp out
tuberculosis, and not q few endeavors to
evade the provisions of the law. Applica-
lions have been made to have 1900 cattle
tested in this state.
