The Quarantine Raised.

On Friday last the county COM
missioners sat as a board of health
and after hearing the report of the
county physician on the existing
conditions in regard to the small
pox scare, they decided to raise the
quarantine which has been enforced
for precautionary reasons for some
weeks past, and on Monday the
schools of this town resumed their
interrupted studies with a good
attendance. The usual church
services were held on the Sabbath
and busines matters have now re-
sumed their regular routine. The
danger Of infection is now consid-
cred a thing of the past, thanks to
the measures taken to prohibit
public gatherings for awhile. No
new cases have been reported and
the patients are all attending to
their regular occupations. There
is u great difference of opiuion
among the laitv as to whether it
was really small pox or not, the
symptoms being SO different from
that experienced in the past, and
the after effects SO slight rs to be
scarcely perceptible The epidem-
ic has been general in every state
in the Union, bu, the mortality
has been wonderfully light. In
this county no deaths have oc-
cured from it, and it is cause fol
congratulation that we are now
well out of it.
