The health department of the city is how ever well organized. .and if the guard at Guar antine be rigidlg maintained. we may be sase.

Our neishboring landscape, too. is being dotted over with the picturesque 1 wind-mills of the old Datch settlers.- Modern inventive genius has much inn proved this primitive motive power, and we shall soon rank this revived wind-en. zine among the most useful of the farmers aids. Rail roads, too, are beginning to use them at water stations, for which purpose they are well caicefased.> The artist will
