utter bewilderment, for they tell 9., they can glean

cancelled their Petty victory, their shouts of triumph
would undoubtedly be resit The wonderful ebulli-

much like our Tory friends having to do the weeping.

past two years an outbreak of typhoid fever has been
reported in Bristol as the mutt of using milk contaminated
with fever germs. The medical officer of health for the
city, Dr. Davies, showed much ingenuity in tracing the
source of the present **demi,. There are eight persons
down with the fever in five different houses in one district
of the city. All these houses were supplied with milk by one
retail salesman. The salesman gets his milk from two farms,
but the whole of the households in which fever has
appeared used milk received from only one of the dairies,
and which was kept distinct from the milk received from
the other dairy. Dr. Davies visited the suspected farm,
and was told by the farmer that be washed his milkcans
In • mill-stream which ran alongside the farm—indeed,
he used no other water. As there was no evidence that
any pollution reached the water after it was taken from
the stream, Dr. Davies felt confident that the contamina•
tion was in the brook, and he determined, it possible, to
trace it With this object in view he followed the stream
along for • couple of miles, and his perseverance was at
last rewarded; for hare he came across enough filth to
poison the whole city. He found that • quantity of sewage
was emptied into the brook, that a stagnant cesspool over-
ran into it in wet weather, and close by, also in e water,
were a number of putrid carcases of calves, plea, Ate., that
had died of disease, probably typhoid fever, which has been
very 'prevalent among stock in Somerset of late. Dr.
Davies has been complimented by the sanitary authority
of Bristol upon the intelligence and perseverance he
displayed.

and the whole place presents a comfortable and inviting
appearance. Sir Charles Whetham (not Mr. Wartou)

that this luau act of unsolicited kindness on the pert
of both gentlemen, and the sup.. rters, committee, and
members, wish to convey to benefactors their
sincere gratitude.

" Blessed are those who expect nothing." We were
comforting ourselves, Mr. Mtor, with the vain hops
that our friends the salvationists had got thoroughly
sickened of the violent open-air .cieainlngs, especially
when we considered that the hands dropped short, and
when we found that the sensible public no longer
tolerated them. But they have taken it into their
deluded beads once more to exasperate the feline
family to concert pitch. Saturday evenings are made
hideotu with their wailing, near the Town-hall. This

sad an increase of the rate..
