The small pox scare is over, and in fac
it created very little excitement at an,
time. The sick lady is convalescent, a
the attack was a very light case, but how
ever a strict quarantine is still bein:
maintained. On account of the mildnes
of the case no doubt, some people are say
ing this case was not case of genuin
small pox. The doctors who examine,
the sick lady say it was, and we prefer t.
take their judgment against that of pei
sons who don't know what they are talk
ing about. 1t is probable that the Fittin
School will resume exercises soon, an
arrangements have been made to boar
the young ladies in private families fo
some time to come, as it is not though
wise for them to occupy the girls ha
jnst yet.
