" W. C." of Middlesex wrltes aa follows con
cernlng the measles: "Thls contagious and
loathsome disease seems to prevail in nll parts
of the state. Ia It not about tlme that the pso
ple were warned to be more carefol about
speadlng lt among their frlenda and nelgh
bors? It coats a good deal to have this disease
run through a family at any tlme, and at thia
busy Beaaon among the farmers the tax is a
aevere one tosay nothingof the danger, suffer-
Ing and discomfort of the ones alllicted. It
seema to be a generally accepted opinlon that
everybody must have the measles ometimc,
and many folka thlnk the qulcker the botter.
But 1 do not see the necessity any more than in
the cafe of small-pox, cholera or other conta'
gloua diseases. If those who havo the disease
or have been exposed to lt would only be rea-
Bonably careful, lts apread mlght bo stopped to
a great extent; nnd lt they will not, let the
Btrong nrm of the law bo used to raako them
careful. If we have not a law for tlils case let
us make one."
The grand jnry of Caledonia county has In

the St. Johnsbury water works, for embezzle-
ment. No blll wns returned ngalnst Lelghton,
who stabbed Heath at Barnet recently. Thla

llof that Heath waa the aggrossor. Judge
Judevlne of Hardwick f oems to have just aa

The Index thua reports: "Tlio caseof A. K
Judovlne of Hardwick vt, Dr. Weeks of Walden
was trled Tuesday . In thla.case one Frank
Williama fatled, and hoiihi property was at'
tached nnd bld otf nt sherlff'B snle by Jude
vlne. Somo of the property was afterwards
bought of Williama by Weelis, who clalmed
that tho attachtnent and pretendod ownershlp
of the property by Judevlne was fraudulent.
Judevlne, however, malntalnod hia grlp ou the
property under a clalm of ownershlp, and eued
Weeks In trover for trading with Williama and
taking the property away, Tho only question
seemed to be wbether Williama and Judevlne
colluded to defraud tho former's lawful credlt
ors. The jury evldently concluded that tho
trade between Willlams and Judevlno waa not
a bona flde one, and returned a verdlct for tho
defendant."
