There is no case," so far at we have been able to learn, anywhere - in the business portion of the town, or other cases PA& front those Mentioned abcnre. On Mon day there were five cases.' Two of the" afflicted ones died on Tuesday night, and were buried. The house in. whiCh the cases are;' together, with two adjoining houses, have been completely 4narantin ed, and the one in which tire ditiiase is la Gated is guarded day and night to pre vent persons going in or coming out. Dr. fiurrn, of 'Mister, has been employed to take charge of the patients. The wild rumors afloat in adjt.iningl towns tkat from ten.to fifteen persons have died here each day; during the past week, or.ten days, and that there are at present' al most numberless eases, is nothing more or less than wild exaggeration. There have been' six cases of small pox, and one of varioloid, and of these three of those attacked bare died. The small pox cases have all been in one house, as have been the deaths. The case of varioloid -was a Mrs. MALLOW, living near the Graded School building, and she is now Inas* well. The authorities. have taken the most stringent measures to preient the spread of the dimmest. The above, in ' brief, is a true statement of the facts_in reference to the prevalence of the small Pox hero. - We believe the measures tak en to prevent its spread will prove amply sufficient.

Another instance. Mr. Austin Leonard, of Springfield 'township, - from a flock of one hundred sheep made nearly $243, this not including the in crease of the flock, which added thereto $l9l, making a net profit of $4.34 per head. No wonder that enterprising men have established a creamery at Troy,lthe object of which is to use the modern I ad vantages in the production of butter.; At the same ratio of development the moun tain lands of Bradford and rich produc tion soil along the rivers will be valued among the choicest farmain the Common- , , wealth.
