There are no new cases of small
pox, even in the families where
some had the disease. All of the
five patients who have had it are
doing we'll but none of them have
been released from quarantine yet.
But there is every reason to expect
they can soon be released.
The quarantine on churches and
other public gatherings has not been
raised and no definite date is given
when it will be. While it is felt that
there is little probability of any
more cases the health authorities do
not wish to assume any risk in the
matter and when the churches are
opened have them stay open.

The question has been raised
whether st. Johnsbury can vote on
the question of license this year at
all as no town meeting was held
yesterday. 1t is stated that six
years ago the town Of Corinth held
its town meeting after the regular
date for some reason and the town
voted for license at that time. The
matter was taken into the courts
and the Supreme court decided that
as the law designated a particular
day on which to vote on the license
question must be taken it was IL
legal to vote on 1t at any other
time. We do not know whether or
not this report is correct but 1t will
have to be Investigated before the
town meeting is held

SCHOOLS OPEN AGAIN.
Children Who Have Been Vaccinat-
ed Allowed to Attend--No More
Smallpox.

The public schools reopened Mon
day morning after being closed three
weeks on account of smallpox. But
few children who had not been vac
cinated appeared at the schools and
they were promptly, sent home.
About half of the students who did
not return Monday are out because
they have not recovered from the
effects of vaccination. They will
doubtless be out in few days and
back in school. Following is a list
of the number present, the number
absent and the percentage of alb
sence in the various schools:
