of The Times an interesting item unde
4 the head letters, Smallpox in Chelsea
I which was evidently sent in from Sout
Royalton, and lest people who rea
the item believe il TO be true, we desir
: to advise the people OF our town AM
surrounding towns, and especially Soutl
Royalton, that il is false alarm AM
that II is untrue and wtout the slight
est foundation. There are few cases
as we understand, in the town OF Wash
ington and the gentleman, w. S. Hatha
way, who our South Royalton frient
stated in the item attended meeting
of the Chelsea grange after he was AT
tlictcd with the disease, lives in Wash
ington and was not present at thu
grange meeting in question. Further your
correspondent desires to state that there
is not a case of smallpox in this town
and that no one from or in this town
has been exposed to the disease SO faI
as is known.
