Mr.: EDToR,-We are happy to see that the in
tOlerable nusances of slaughter houses begins in
these hot days to attract the attention OF our suffer
ing citizens reside in the Ninth Ward, and near
Fourth street and Sixth Avenue, and in a section of
the most closely built and compact dwelling houses
in the city. II you take small circuit described by
Bleecker street, Sixth Avenue and Fourth street
or Barrow, and small space as 1t is, will ven
ture to affirm there not less than two to three
hundred families; and yet, within this narrow com
pass there are several OF these abomnable slaughter
house nusances. Fourth street from Sixth Avenue
to Barrow street, is kept in the most awful state OF
filth and dirt, by reason of large slaughter house
on its south side. Their offal and ether carts fill
both sides ot the street for nearly whole block
The butchers and their rowdy boys work all day
on Sunday and all Sunday night disturbing the
whole nelghborhood, and preventing sleep, by Tea-
son ct theiv loud oaths and horrd yells, combined
with the bleating and lowing OF cattle, the barking
and bowling OF dogs, with popping OF whips and
rafting 81 carts The noise Of the half savage
butchers boys seems to be greatly improved by tho
auxiliary aid OF grog shop or two close at hand,
where they drink and reve when not at work.
during the entire night This scene of noise, dis

but is much worse Sabbath afternoon and night
than any other
whole tier of well built brick and genteel hou-
ses, inhabited bv respectable families, is annoyed to
the severest degree of misery, by the condition of
this street and slaughter house. They, too, have
close their windows to keep out swarms OF flies

stain the panes of glass and all the furniture with

rerained from complaining tor fear Of offending the
sovereign rowdies in the nelghborhood, who. in re-
vengc tor complaints, might lnfilct some greater
evil, without The fear of the Corporation or the law
before their eyes. But seeing your correspondents
notice OF similar evils this part OF the town, causes
us to feel little courage, and to hope something
may be done for our relief
Landlords much or more Interested in these
nuisances than tenants ; because If they cannot be
abated they will soon find them entirely unoccu-
pied by respectable people whereby their rents may
be materially reduced. 1t is the duty of landlords,
to sue at once tor mjunctions against these internal
nulsances, unknown TO any other decent city In the
world In the midst OF their thlckest population
And why are cartmen permitted TO drop their idle
carts before other peoples doors, thus obsructing
their way, and rendering the street more dirty and
filthy than il would otherwise BET This should also
be prohibited.
