SEEDS OF DIsEAsE.-Although our city has,
within the present year, enjoyed q remarkabIe
degree OF health, We fear Tn ut this happy con-
dltion of sanitary affairs will MT continue to
exist If the flth in the streets be suffered to
remain The broiling, frying weather having
now commenced in earnest, the action Of the
sun on the purifying substances cannot but
affect all who are within the range Of the de-
composing influence.
Such was the disgustingly filthy condition
Of q certain part of the Second Ward that a
CARLOAD Of black mud, emitting a loud
stencil, was yesterday gathered from q gut
ter, taking q range from curb to curb; and
there was still - more Of the same sort'' left
Whether the purifying process is to be ex-
tended to other localities, we are not informed.
In the rame of humanity We call on the
municipal authorities to order out the shovel
and the hoe, =" and the filth cart TOO to remove
the" seeds of disease, prominent in the streets
and alleys. Qaick lime plsntifully sprinkled
would do no harm, We think.
