| Board Of Common Council:
GENTLEMEN With this you will receive the report to
the Board of HEALTH together with the testimony taken
in relation to the endemic disease recently prevailing at
the National Hotel
Before the adoption of the joint resolution approved
March 18TH instant the Board of Health had considered
the matter, and frequent examinations of the hotel had
been made by Dr. W P JOHNSTON, its President, and
also by the Commissioner of HEALTH and measures were
then in progress to remedy the evil.
After the adoption of the resolution 1 united with
committee of the Board of Health in making thorough
examination of the premises well of such witnesses
thought necessary enable the community as
well ourselves understand the nature of the disease
and its causes.
My professional experience fully concurs with the
testimony of the medical gentlemen given before the com
mittee and submitted with its report The conclusions
arrived at by the committee in my opinion just and
true. The hotel was not built upon any preconceived
and wearranged plan, but has been several times ex-
tended and otherwise altered so that has been impes-
sbe to adopt carry out any regular system of vena
ton. Indeed that object important as it is seems to
have been almost entirely lost sight Of and many of the
old fues. with their registers, placed in the building to
conduct heated air through it, have been suffered to
MAN, though the method of heating the house had been
changed; and they served as the conduits through
which mephtc gases were conveyed all the house
The sewers of the hotel undergoing emodellng
and reconstruction with traps, &c., and there is doubt
but that; with the changes and improvements max
ing and contemplated the house will be rendered entire
| ly heathful and salubrious.
| deem it but act of justice to the proprietors
Messrs Cur BRIGGs) to state that they have given
every facility to the committee to enable them to arrive
at the truth and that they have shown throughout the
whole time the sickness prevailed in their establishment
most commendabe desire to ascertain and remove the
causes, and in doing eEinced energy and liberaty
which deserved better success.
Very respectfully,
W. B. MAGRuDER, Mayor.

wasted form, the fondly cherished mother
and honored wife of an old and distinguished
family or the fair girl, whose eye flashed with
all the loneliness of lovely nature, and whose

WINTER WHEAT.-We have now in our
Office specimen of winter wheat taken from
the field of ID. S. Cash, Esq, Immediately op-
posite our town, which averages about four
feet in hight, and is remarkably clear of rust
and well flied. This wheat was sowed on
fallOw ground the 4th of September, and i,
1t will probably yield 20 bushels to the acre.
and Mr.. C.. is quite confident the crop would
have beeh heavier, had it been sown. two
weeks earlier, as it had not time to stool out
before the snow commenced falling. The I'M
usually heavy fall of snow during the past
winter was unfavorable to winter wheat
The yield under the circumstances is suffi-
Gent to convince the most increduous that
we have climate and soil adapted to the
successful growth of wheat.
FATAL AcCIDENE-Two lads, whose names
weiwere unable to learn, while PLAYING on the
cars above the inclined plane at the Forest
mine, last week, set the train in motion
One of them sprang from the car without
injury, but the other, in attempting to do
so, was thrown under the wheels, and his
body SO badly crushed as to survive but a
few hours.
HARBoR MAcHINERY.-TheH Hull of the
Harbor Contractors Dredge was towed to
this place from Saul Ste. Marie by the pro-
peler Gen. Taylor. Capt. Ryder has been
peculiarly successful in this difficult species of
navigation.
He last year towed up the hull Of the
steamer Fogie from Detroit to this port,
distance of some 700 miles.

The st. Anthony Republican of Saturday
has the following spicy account of a grand

Last week the Express trumpated through
