= ED. MONTTOR.-The reports which have
been circulated concerning an outbreak of
small pox in this town are false, there
having been no diseases of an infectious
nature here this summer.
= = M. F. PRIME, Health Officer.
/ We publish the above article from lDr.
Prime and think il sufficient reply tothe
numerous reports of small pox cases in
this village. AS near as we can learn
there have been no cases in this section of
the county. In Hardwick the quarantine
has been raised from every house but one,
and the pest house is now unoccupied. At
Westfeld the quarantine has been raised
from every house where it has been in eff
feet, and there are no new cases being re-
ported from any town.
