Sir: The citizens of this place, and Of the

IA WORD TO TIE WISE is SUFFICIENT"
Midst nauseous stencil and filthy fume,
The yigour Of health can never bloom.
Among the many inconvenience we labor
under at this season of the year, none is more
perncious, and destructive to the good health
Of our citizens, than the unwholesome and
noxious perfumes Of stagnant and corrupted
matter with which our streets abound. AL
though there has been long continuation OF
rainy weather, which has had a tendency to-
cleanse and purify our town, yet, notwlth-
standing this. "a considerable quantity of We
getabe matter has been located in different
parts Of our Borough the decomposition of
which, wien acted upon by the heat of the
sun, sends out an unpropitious indication of
i'll consequences, assocating with them an
accumulation of evils, which loudly calls for
the prompt attention of those whose care it
is to exercise speedy means to check the
growing evil while in embryo. Your COM
plainant urged by an imperious duty which
he owes to his family and friends, as we'll as
to the citizens of the borough, conceives him
self highly aggrieyed by nuisance of no
small import, located in King, between
Queen and Water r-streets-where the fill
thy execressence of Tan-Vats and corrupted
matter, added to the uncleansed cutters Of
sinking mire. sends forth an unpropitious
combination of stomach stirring malidies
which spreads infection through all the
neighbourhood. Only yesterday, while seat
cd at my dinner-tabe, to partake of tha
which is essential to the subsistence of ma
ture, was assailed by a tremendous dis
charge of putridity, which well nigh cost M
a loss of senses, and threw the family int
confusion and disgust; and instead of the sal
utary steams of savory viands, an unwhole
some and disgusting smell filled the hous
with stygiau gloom.
hope our active and energetic Counsel
men--together with all others concerned TO
the cleanliness and health of our Borough
will be assduous in the discharge of thei
duty, in correcting the evil, and promotin
the credit Of their standing.

the works which have already been pnbshed(tor

the first principles Of the art, and in the effort to
combine, from the earliest lesson, precept with eE-

THE LOVE OF TIE SHELL FISHES.
Crab there was 4 daslling young blade,
And he was in love with a Lobster maid;
But the Lobster maid was terrible prude,
And she told her mamma that the Crab was
rude.
Said her dear mamma, sPray, and what did he
do
Did he give you kiss or a billet douN"
aOh no." said she, with toss of her head,
g But he ogles me so--('t so shockingly i'll
brcd,)
That vow, if he still persists in lis suit,
Ill box the ears of the impudcnt brute.''
But an Oyster dandy saw the maid
'Oh, split me, said he, miss if am afraid.'
So tighter he brac'd his corset shell,
And struttcd away with broadway swell.
And he told the maid as he twiricd his seal,
He'd die at her fee. if dandy could knecl.'
sOh SIR said she, since that can't be,
You know you can hang yourself on u tree.
And the Oyster rav'ti--'But no, said she
syou never shall die Of scorn from me,
She gave him her ruby red hand to kiss,
And he felt like fish in sea of bliss;
But the Crab he cooked his hat in their faces,
And challenged the Oyster to fight at two pa
cess
The ground was marked, and they took their
stand,
And Barnacle gave the word Of command
I They took their aim, and the Oyster fell!
But alas, the worst Of the tale is to teli
For he wcltcring lay in his she'll,
A giddy young muscle, that passed that way,
And saw the end of the fatal affray,
1 Declared that the Iobster's love was sham,
For he'd just seen her married that morn TO

1t has lately been discovered that the ap-
ple or knot of the Red Cedar tree, has the
effect. when eaten, of destroying worms in
the human intestnes. In answer to the in
ouiries of n scientific gentleman in New

in what quantity, and in what state they are
to be taken, &c, &c, the Editor Of the Up

The Apple or Knot, is to be found upon the
Red Cedar.
The apple bears no resemblance in shape
or size, nor similarity to the Cedar Berry,
The apple is a sort OF excrescence and which
is to be found at all seasons of the year OH the
small boughs or twigs of the cedar tree, vary
ing in size from the ha2le to that of the black
walnut, bearing a strong resemblance to q
nitted potatoe. The apple which is OF last
years growth and perfectly dried, does not
look like the orchard apple, and is not as bit
ter as of this years growth, but as medl-
cine, they possess the same virtue as those
that are green, and can be grated or pound
ed fine and taken in rnoasses
The apple which contains some moisture,
can be eaten like another fruit The guam
thy Mr.. II. recommends, just as they come
from the tree, is one for every year that
the child is old, and to DC taken nine morn

From our own experience Of the powerful
efficacy Of the Cedar Apple, we should say
that a much less quantity would to-how-
ever, the apple is perfectly innocent, and any
quantity may be eaten without being attend

proportion will answer, we will cite n case
