to us that all switches on that division of

one interfering in any way with them should
he punished according to law.

worse. No new cases haye been reported
for several days and there are now onh
some eight convalescent cases. Every house
with its outbuildings has been looked after
by the Board of Health, and tho town as a
whole Is receiving a clearing such as It has
not witnessed since lis incorporation as a
