A Communication was received from the
County Engineer, stating that culvert on
the Hubbard. road, contracted for last year,
had not yet been built, and requesting the
Board 10 take some action in reference to
the matter. ...-. i .
The following communication, in refer
ence to the irrepressible-prOvisio conflict,
was received from Sheriff Armstrong:
l sent you a comm anication, bearing date
Of the 10Th Of February, 1861, 10 which
have received no reply. Supposing that the
propositions then made did not meet your
approval, and believing that no law ever
intended that great responsibilities and
duties should be performed, by an officer
without remuneration, therefore l again
refer to the subject.
The law of 1860 in reference to iails, ap-
plies to this county alone; at least il is the
w,
and, If am correctly informed, was enacted
that prisoners confined in our County Jail
might not be subjected to unwholesome and
unsuitable subsistence, on account of the
pecuniary gain that might accrue to the
Sheriff who furnished the same, and in order
that the providing for the subsistence by
purchase should be placed in the power of
the Commissioners above, securing TO pris-
oners by such legislation wholesome and
healthy diet.
have no doubt but your Board will ad-
NIT that justice, law and precedent would
sanction your allowing the eriffremunera-
county. | am of opinion that the letter and
spirit of the law would be fulfilled by your
providing for the subsistence and comfort of
the prisoners by purchasing said subsistence,
either personally or by agent, delivering the
same to the Sheriff for cooking and distribu.
tion to the prisoners, at such times and in
such quantities and qualities as the health
and well-being of the prisoners might re-
quire, granting to the Sheriff, for preparing
and distributing the subsistence, such com.
pensation per day, and per prisoner, as you
might in your judgment, deem proper and
| just.
The jail is not paying expenses, and do
not attempt to disguise the fact that am de-
sirous to obtain some profits from the jail, but,
on the contrary, claim that should be re-
munerated for my labor at that institution,
| and believe that fair and liberal construc-
tion of the law will entitle me to the same.
Gentlemen: l submit the above to your
consideration, hoping that you may consider
it your duty, by law and justice, to grant re-
| lief.
The communication was referred to the
| City Solicitor. s.

GRACE GREENwooD's LECTURE, LAST EVEN
MG.-Mrs. Sara j. Lippincott nee Clark, bet
ter known by her nom de plume, Grace Green
wood, lectured, for the first time in this city,
we believe, last evening, at the Melodeon, on
the "Heroie in Common Life" to fair
though not large audience. There was no
thing remarkable in Grace'5 lecture, though
the illustrations of her subject were well
given, and the whole was quite a pretty
composition.
Grace Greenwood is brunette, and with
out handsomeness has an intellectual, poetic
and interesting face pretty mouth, very
good eyes, and mobile expression. She is
above the medium hight, and slender, but
not very graceful on the stage; her very de-
eided lisp causing much dissatisfaction. Her
voice is not strong, and often she fails to
manage it properly, whea it becomes un-
pleasant to the ear.
This evening she will lecture again at the
Melodeon for the benefit OF the Home of the
FTiendless-A most worthy cause.

ORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The new Board of Health has effected an or
ganization, and in few days will have its
permanent officers located at room No. 15 of
the City Building. The following communi-
cation from DR.. Wright, Health Officer, was
received yesterday, and will be presented to
Council next Friday evening:
In compliance with an ordinance passed
by yoar Honorable Body, the Board of
Health was this day organized. Such pre-
liminary arrangements have been made as
will secure efficient action very soon after
the organization of the new CouRcil
Among the subjects presented to the
Board, for immediate consideration, was the
location of a hospital for contagious diseases.
So many formidable obstacles present them
selves at the beginning as to excite an ap-
prehension that we may fail in securing a
proper location within the city limits. 1t
may be that some of the difficulties would
be lesseped by comforting upon the Board
full authority not only. to. select, but to es-
tablish such hospital, by lease or purchase.
In the mean time, the Board would sug-
gest that every child in our public schools
should be required to present TO the several
teRchSsB n certificate or other evidence of
having been vaccinated, and that those over
ten years of age be revaccinsted, if this pre-
caution should not have been adopted pre-
viously.
The Board would also urge upon Council
| the propriety of using its full power to COM
| pei all unwilling peJcons, of every age, to
| become revaccinated, if ten years shall
have elapsed from the preceding vaccination
or revaccination.
The protective power of vaccination has
been, for a long PERIOD well established. If
the system has been strongly and fully i'm
| pressed by vaccination, an individual may
be frequently exposed to the contagion of
small. pox without seeming danger. In some
| individuals, however, small pox has occurred
more than once; in others, varioloid has fol-
lowed vaccination. In both instances the
system has been imperfectly protected. Re-
vaccination, therefore, is the only sure or
reliable preventive against subsequent at
tacks. lfthe entire community could be in-
duced to attend promptly and properly to
this precautionary measure, it might not be-
come necessary to establish "pest houses"
or any other special sanitary regulation, to
prevent the spread OF smallpox.
1t has been satisfactorily ascertained that
in those wards Of the city in which vaccina-
tion has been carefully and diligently per-
formed there have been comparatively few
cases of smallpox. Such practical lessons
in our very midst should not be carelessly
| overlooked
