past was brought out at the meeting
Of the city council last night, when sew
eral bills contracted in the handling OF
the two cases which developed were pre-
sented for payment. BY the prompt
work of Health Officer Joe w Jackson
and the local hoard of health the out
break was confined to the two cases,
Elders Snow and Hatch OF the Mormon
church. who were room mates in the Og-
ston house on Averill street and one OF
whom brought the disease to Barre, pre-
sumably from Burlington. where several
members OF the Mormon church had been
in quarantine.
Both the local cases were mild in form,
and Messrs Snow and Hatch were re-
leased from the pesthouse at the city
farm last Saturday, and they left town
at once, it is said They had been under
restraint at the pesthouse since March
II, or nearly month. No new cases
developed; and, allowing for more than
the usual time for the contagion to
spread. it is now thought by the board OF

ieal supplies used in the treatment of the
two smallpox patients. Dr. jackson, fol.
lowing the discovery that the disease
was really smallpox, took entire charge
of the man already stricken and tho
other who had been exposed and during
the month rendered medical attendance.
His BILL as presented last night, was
for $50 The council, while not disposed
to question the bill at all, wished for an

ferred the matter to the committee on
health to look after 1t is expected that
the matter will be settled at the next
