The smallpox scare is now, we hope. a
thing of the past. A few new cases have
occurred, and these the mildest type. Those
living in the infected region, at first rebell-
ious, have toned down. and gone TO Their
usual vocations. No letters are allowed to
be written in this section, but scribe has
been appointed. When family finds ii
necessary to send tidings to their absent
friends, the fact is communicated to him
who stands a safe distance from the home,
and writes the missive.
Last Thursday Mr. Jake Hostetter died of

queror, but he now thinks the easiest way is
not always the best.
