Summary of the year 1849 continued

of August, September, and October, the school was discontinued, the children being to sick to attend, and the teacher was fully and (thank God) efficiently employed in ministering from house to house. Some of the cases were quite alarming, and the disease (the Influenza) in general was more severe and considerably modified from that of former years. Violent spasms in the stomachs and epigastric regions were frequent in all stages of the complaint. At the close of the year the cummunity are in the enjoyment of good health. May the recent afflictions teach us, so to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
