were made than in any former year. Mr. J. T. Ensor,
the well-known auctioneer , of Dorchester, oonducted
the business with his usual tact and ability, and the
result was satisfactory to all concerned. Before the

the notices for the Local Board of Health. Mark
that! anxious reader! "Of Health." With the
present threatened loss of our season on amount of
*barges of bad health, rightly or wrongly brought
against us, rarely there should have been a full meet-
ing. Should we hear the statiatios of the attacks by
the epidemic, the prompt mammas, the speedy
recoveries, the few deaths? Should we at last be
relieved by hearing what the Board bad done? How
Mr. Vickery had need?labo how the Board had thought,
and talked, and planned? What success had been
attained IWhas dangers are threatening still? The
notion papers promised something; even sealing the
tender for rosd.watering would have been intending,
now the dust is getting worse. "To open and docUe
upon tenders for a drain at the back of Brunswick
buildings" was surely important, geeing that we hive
had to hold our nose on a line afternoon on the Sands.

heart of the evil! The sewage into &op water !! That
can't be the Backwater, it must be the West Bay. By
all means let us get at this subject. If we can get the
sewage into the West Bay, we shall make an end of
the nuisance once for all. Perhaps the slopes to the
south of Wylie ought to have the fertilising benefit;
but at all events let us make the first step for getting
It clear of the Backwater. Another timely notice
—" Whet share of the expense of the disinfecting
apparatus obtained by the Board of Guardians shall be
borne by the Loral Board." The Guardian' have done
wrilat. eteo apparatus, and let the town meet
them in ne niggardly spirit ; if possible let us
have one of our own. "Po receive Dr. Third's report
as to the sanitary state of the town, and decide whether
a temporary hospital shall be erected or not." The
