THIS is question of vital importance, and
/ one which has never been satisfactorily DIS
posed of by the professors who teach the heal

blood, and therefore all diseases originate in II
but modern science AYERS that ailments have
their origination in both the solids aud fluids o

United states bishops, 81 prize Is, and SO
churches, that is, church edificcs. Ten
years later there were 10 bishops, 232

The Weather-Our Streets.

The unusual quantity "f rain that has
fallen during The present winter is a subject
Of general remark nnd Iamenta!ion. We
believe that Tor the last three monlts, two
thirds Of the time has been rainy, sloppy
and disagreeable. This stale Of things must
operate most dsadvantageously % the far.
ming interests of the country, by delaying
the preparation SO important at this season.
The tlilngc Of the gardens is likewise neces.
sarily put off, and the prospect Of early veg
e,abIes is dim indeed and growing smaller
by degrees. portion ofthe time has been
unseas"nably warm and the buds Of forests
aud frnit trees are swollen; some of the
latter are now in bloom, a most unfavora.

The roads through the country, "e are

them; IRE know how tn sympathse with

suggest 10 our 'lity Egthersr VIII oeyer they
may be that will serve US thg elsEing year,
that IA little attention To the condition Of the
side walks on the back streets Of our Viii
Ings, could do no harp. The labors Of the
Council have been devoted 10 the middIes
of the streets (and properly 80, for they
needed working upon) but now would it
not be fair 10 do something for the pedes.
TRANS To gravel all the frequerted side
walks, would add much TO the appearance
of ;he town. There are two ways by which
this could be accomPlished-b the Coun-
ell know their duty. The suburbs are be.
ing settled up, and the necessity for good
lhoroughfures increase with the expansion
of the Village. The matter is easy enough
