SANITARY ArFAIRs.-As there is reason TO appro
bend that the coming season may prove rather un
healthy It behooves all to exercise than usual
caro- in egard to their diet personal habits and he
condition Of their premises. In order to stimulate
individuals to due caution, the city authorities should
be ever watchfui No pestilence breeding pools
should be allowed to exist and stagnant water and
filth along the cutters of the street should not be
permitted to accumulate. Even at this time the &C.
cumulstons in certain paees great as to emit
an effluyia equal to that arising from pen filled
with swine, ana IL Is nj kn time they were removed.
We hope the authorities will look 20 the matter at
once, as an ounce of prevention is worth pound of
cure Tho CUTTERS near the corner of Third and
King streets have come under our immediate notice
but we have no doubt they am In an equally bad
condition in other localities.
