of Music to the building fund of the Church;

inendent Of Lands and Places, appointed BY the late
Commissioner of Streets Joseph S. Taylor, refuses

The Cricket Match which was to haze been played

HOUSE AGESTs.-The Health Wardens sometimes
| in the discharge of their duty, come in contact
| with customers who deem. that they have a per-
feet right to violate City Ordinances, and take every
means in their power to embarrass and delay them in
their legitimate work Of promoting the public health.
years service in the faithful discharge of their du-
ties enables the Wardens 10 ascertain who are law
abiding citizens Agents sometimes refuse to state
who are owners, and thus delay the Warden,. case
of this kind occurred few days since in relation to
sinks cesspools and sagnant water, at Nos $50 and
sol Fourth street. of which Mr.. Boorman was owner,
| and Vim. Attrdge was agent. Alter repeated visits
| to the locality Health Warden Green complained to
| the Corporation. Assistant Corporation Attorney
Mc(regor took the in charge, and the result was
sos fpe on Boorman. House Agents should treat the
Health Wardens with courtesy, and promote the inter.
eats of owners who have placed them in charge of
property.
| RECORD OF BIRTHS AND MARRIAcEs.-The vast
Importance attached to this department of the City
inspectors Office is beyond the conception of many
How many interests are involved in these records
| And yet clergymen, aldermen, and physicians and
mdwves seem TO have but little idea Of this fact, or
else they are willfuly and woefuly neslectful There
no excuse whatever for this negligence as person
employed by the City Inspector to call on clergymen
| for a liz. of marriages celebrated by them, and on
doctors and midwives for the bihs occurring under
their care and yet he calls time after time, and u
often disappointed. The persons whose duty it 10 by
law and honor to keep faithful record of births and
marriages say they have kept no record! or, they
have forgotten to give the notice to the department.
in some cases they positively refuse to do it.
| How many saddened countenances and fearful eyes
have been seen in this department upon the announce
| ment that such marriage or such birth has not
| been returned. Character property, and interests
dearer than life are thus sacrificed by sheer neglect
on the part of those who of all Others should be most
prompt and willing to discharge plain aad imperative
duty. 1t is to be hoped that delinquent clergymen,
ply sciaps and midwives WILL from sense Of oblisa-
tion attend to these serious matters; and If they DO
not we trust that the City Inspector will hand them
I over to the tender merces of the law.
