HOUSES OF ILL HEALTH-There Is one way
to make homes unhealthy which hes often been
criticised by our medical officers of health,
and which still demands all their vigilance to
prevent. 1t forms reg ular part OF building
operations in many localities around London
You may ventilate a house and drain the
street; supply plenty OF light air. and fresh
water but there may still be a source of dis
ease in your house which may elude discovery
and, If discovered, defy remedy. II is liter
ally bound up In the composition of the road
and forms part of the fabric of the house wall
A Scottish registrar lately noticed that the
increase of fever and zymotic disease in his
district was chiefly confined to a street OF
neWly-built and somewhat superior houses -
Some surgeons have, from time TO time made
the like observation in the suburbs of London
II the composition OF the roadway be observed
and the air of the basement tested, the cause
may be partly guessed. 1t is not unus ual, in
making these roadways, to cast into the chasm
to be filled every kind OF refuse including
animal and vegetable debris of the most un-
savory character; and this being packed to-
gether on level with the Easements, all ema-
nations from the mass steal through the lower
part of the house and ascend 10 the upper rooms
A surgeon in the southern suburb commune
Gated To us q case in which the memb bers Of a
numerous family were successfully attacked
by Zymotic disease-in two instances fatal
and repea tedly renewed, until removal from q
house so poisoned. DIR. Dundas Thomson. in
his weekly report draws attention TO cog
nate detect in the hygienics OF masonry which
deserves TO be duly noted: my attention has
frequently been called TO, l trust, an almost
obsolete practice INDUCED in by some build
ers of mixing up putrid siop frem the streets
with their mortar, instead of using sand
which has a chemical relation to the lime. A
case Of this kind having been reported to me
by the inspectors at Hamilton Terrace, found
the STOP used to consist of putrid organic mat
ter, S.77; water, 36 O.; and Of inorganic mat
ter, 5i1a. Being of opinion that the use OF
such mixture in the plastering the interior Of
a house is not likely to be promouve of health,
while 1t undoubtedly produces an inferior
binding material, ! requested the builder and
the architect 10 oscontin ue its use, but not in
time TO prevent the fall of an arch, and the Ia :
jury of three men engaged In the construc tion
OF the building."-1hs Laaest.

Iumoer or other moveable property on the

Yesterday the waters began TO recede, and no
further apprehension was felt. The view OF
the river from point just above the Dan yills
depot was really grand. The mighty volume
Of water surged and roared In . way Alto
gether uncommon for the usually quiet James,
and brought TO our mind the big freshets that
we used to have In old times, when bridges
were swept away and fresh water mariners
padded about the lower streets In canoes.

DIPTHERIA.-An old physician, writing to
the Alexandria Gazette from Mason county,
Va, says:
This section of our State has been remarka-
bly, healthy, until quite lately, when it has
been visited by disease deemed by many to
be new one but this is altogether a fallacy
l ailude to a malady called dIptheria, and by
the French diptherits. The doctors disagree
as to the character of this disease, as they are
too often apt to do regarding the ills that flesh
is heir TO. But it is indisputaby modifica-
tion of scarlatina, or the putrid variety of
Richter, very old author, and, therefore, an
old disease instead of a new one And in
plain English, it is nothing more nor less ban
the putrtd sore throat, one OF the most appalling
and dangerous maladies that can posi- bly, visit
any community. There is nothing new in it
with me, as L have been familiar with it, at
different periods, for upwards of ffty-six
years-a period in which have been en- gagged
in the study and practice of medicine
In communication like the present can
only drop few remarks respecting the treat
ment of this terrible disease, which has al
ready proved so fatal in several Instances, in
this and other neigh hboring counties, as well as
on the OHIO side OF the river. A man of the
name OF Swartz lost both of his sons with it
one nearly of age. and the other sixteen-only
few days ago.
Emeucs are eminently useful in this disease.
and the earlier they are resorted to, the more
beneficial will be their effects; indeed they
may be required to occasionally throughout
the whole course of the disease. The bowels
should be kept in a soluble state by the niidsr
laxatives. But all active purging should be
avoided.
When the fever is on, administer cooling.
acidulated drinks-lemonade, cold water, and
Il little ice. In the apyreria, or when the sys-
tenn flags with much prostration, exhibit
warm, stim ulating teas, and drinks.
The local eatment.-l employ various To-
cal applications; but TO men tion few OF them
must suffice. Make a strong solution OF the
sulphate OF lime, with n plentiful addition of
honey, and use as a gargIe several times or
dissolve two drachms of sal ammonia in u
pint of water, sweeten well also with honey
and gargle the throat three or four times Il day
with it. These gargies may be employed alter
nately. The external applications TO the throat
may be the volatile linIment, or the ca mphora-
ted liniment. Bat when the neck is very hot,
1t should be kepta as cool as possible, even when
making these topical applications.

Iheatrs.-The admirable play of magnolia"
which was produced for the first time hero
last night, will be repeated tonight with the
songs which Miss Richings sings with her own
peculiar sweetness. The "Spirit Of the Rhine"
played here successfully last winter, will also
be brought out, thus making up bill of un-
common attractiveness. Ia order that the
public anxiety to learn the electio news may
be gratiied, the managers propose to have the
returns announced from the stage as soon as
they are received. Thus all who desire to wi
ness the excellent dramatic performances at the
Theatre can do SO, without being kept In igno-
rance of what is going on outside.
