ION the agents had not discharged their duies.-
The mentb was half over and yet they had spent
but one-third nt their means. The objects of the
society were not being carried out. The streets
were thronged with heggars, and yet there was
money in the hands of the agents for their relief.

ton and expected that the money would be eXpend-
ed and not boarded when the funds of the asso

JaweIry store OF the Messrs. Garfield. Adjourned.
HEALTH THE CIrY-From the present coudi
ton OF some of the streets of this city, it is highly
probable that the citizens of Baltimore will not
long De blessed with health unless something i
done, and that right speedily, toward cleaning the
streets of dead animals aud other nusauces -
Under the regular police force these things were
attended to, but it is everywhere apparent that
the sanitary regulations are now in greater or
less degree neglected. Whether the United States
Government will require its police force to assist
In carrying out the objects Of the Health Depart
ment OF Baltimore remains to be seen. At all
events, the sanitary regulations of the city must
De observed, or sickness will inevitably ensue.
