said that meat and milk of this description brought

Nilliamsburgh where are located a number of the
rusances called 'cov.stables" which, if broken up

thus the poison both liquid and solid, would continue
to be furnished TO citizens. The disease causing the
death of the cattle above described doubt arises

This is a subject which demands some further action
on the part Of the Municipal and State authorities.
We understand it is the intention of the City Inspec
tor to follow up this by the arrest aud prosecution
Of the ding parties, and to continue with unre-

| deadly traffic We earnestly hope every aid will DO

object and that those who have heretofore thus pre-
JUDGED the public health and caused lamentation and
