hardly think proof will sustain, and in order that both
sides Of this matter may be understood, beg TO make
the following statement
This ship entered the Custom House, al this port on
the 2st day Of June, 1856, coming from Havana-carso
consisting principally OF sugar, with any bales Of rags
The discharge OF the vessel at Quarantine being order
ed, stcvedore TO be foundto perform that duty
had several applications from stevedorcs outside Of the
Quarantine for the job and actually agreed with one to
20 10 work. but informed by the Health Onlcer that
that could not be allowed 10 90 board the ship
a, any rate but that there was man with whom an
rangement could be made that would do the work AZ
well as any else and could have his (he Health
oncers) permission 70 90 on board, II could make
bargain with him.
From the peculiar circumstances under which was

WHEN TO WEAR INDIA RUBsERs.-
We have noticed tina. many persons wear
India rubber over-shoes in cold dry wealth
er to keep their feet warm. This is an
injurious and evil pracsice.G India rubber
shoes are very comfortable and valuable
for covering the feet during wet. sloppy
weather, but they should never be worn
on any other occasion-sheir sole useshould
be to keep out water. They should there
fore, be put off whenever the wearer1 en-
tiers a house. and be worn as little as pos
sible, because they are air-.ight, and both
retain the preparation of the feet. The
air cannot be excluded from them, or from
any other portion. ofthe body for any length
of time. without sensibly affecting the
health. 1t is our opinion that no habit
tends more to good health than clean fee /
and clean dry stockings, so as to allow the
free prespiration of the neither extremitees
