the First and Second Congregational churches,
is quarantined with diphtheria. For several
days his little daughter Katherine had been i'll
with sore throat, which some of the other
members also took. AS it was feared that
diphtheria might develop, some of the culture
was sent away to be analysed and it was found
to be mild case of diphtheria. AS yet the
other cases are said to be very mild. Mrs.
Caro- Whittier. who was exposed to the dis
ease is suffering with sore throat, and the
home of Capt. Daniel Nickes, at which she is
stopping,is also quarantined. The development
of several new cases Monday made the
situation serious, and it was decided to close
all the schools, and all public gatherings will
probably be discontinued as far as possible for
the present. None of the cases are serious
as yet.
