A very curious circumstance in connection with the prevalence of diphtheria at Yea has been reported to us (Melbourne 1 Argus’) on the beat authority. It will be remembered that for some time diphtheria was constantly breaking out amongst the children attending the State school at this place, and in consequence the school for many mouths was almost constantly closed. Ultimately, the children were removed to another building, and diptheria ceased in the district. In the meantime, the old build ing was thoroughly fumigated and cleaned, and for three months remained unoccupied. A short time ago the Government lent the building to the residents for the purpose of a tea meeting, and we are informed that all the persons who sat on one form in one portion of the building were immediately afterwards seized with the disease It was on this form, placed in the same position, that nearly all the children who attended this school and previously suffered from diphtheria used to sit.
