in Woodstock recently and one of them,
Christie Buchanan of River street, is still
under treatment, The cases had no con-

general source. There is nothing like an
epidemic, and no ground has been discov-
er'd for anticipating an epidemic. For the
| purpose OF taking every possible precau-
ton however, the board of school directors
| concluded that, inasmuch as there We're
only two more weeks remaining in this
term, they would close the school two
weeks earlier than usual, and make up the
time on the next term. Hence the schools
are now closed for the spring vacation and
the next term of school will begin Monday
