The pest house might serve as
temporary quarters, but the choleravwas
surely coming, and then that would be
needed. Dr. White was instructed to go
for these patients.
The Winstcd Press hopes the Rev. Mr-
Beach, the new Methodist minister in'that
town will “prove worthy of comment,”
which was not the case with his predeces-
sor, Smith, who was “fifty years behind the
age.” The only minister, out of the dozen
or more in town, who is “cordially liked
and cordially hated” is Father Leo, the
atholic priest, says wicked Pinncy. A
' Methodist minister 50 years behind the age
isn’t to Pinney’s notion, and a minister
in advance of that would soon findhii‘nself
out of a job—in Winsted.
