Precautionary MEAsUREs-The Board
Of Health Of Wilmington, Del, in order to
preserve the health Of that town, have re-
solved to purchase quantity OF lime and
distribute it gratuitously among the citizens
who are unable to pay for il, and at cost to
all others, for the purpose of aiding them in
purifying their cess-pools and cellars.
RAILRoAD TINS TABLEs.-In reference to
railroad regulations, the Newark Advertiser
well remarks: a'
"Time tables are good things, but their
utility is vastly impaired, and sometimes
wholly destroyed, Tor want Of time keepers.
Nothing less than exactly running chronom-
eters can render time tables OF much val.
ue. The theory is good, but when practic'
ed upon by such watches as conductors have
and will have, aggravated by tho fallabilitJ
and temerity OF all concerned in the running
of trains, who are still as reliable as othel
people, the inevitable result is error in time
collision and inevitable massacre" ~
