and health go hand in hand with each
other, and it should be the aim of our citi-
gems, during the heated term at least, to
conform strictly to those laws having in
view the sanitary welfare of the commu-
nifty. The streets should receive more than
ordinary attention, the cutters be cleaned
of the dirt and filth, which from time to
time accumulates in them, and no deposits
of dirt or garbage within the city limits
should be permitted. We are sorry to say,
however, that many streets, lanes and al
leys which We could name are in horrible
couditiOn-garbage having accumulated
in them to such an extent that the stencil
arising therefrom renders it disagreeable
to pass along them. Should the cheated
term" continue, and the filth on our streets
increase, we fear the health of the city
will greatly deteriorate, and that ere au-
tumu comes we may have great cause to
lament our inattention to the sanitary
regulations of the city. Let those whose
duty it is see to it that the streets and al
leys are kept clean, and let all, as far as it
is in their power, pay due regard to the
obvious laws of health, and we may rea-
sonably expect continuance of our pres.
ept remarkable absence of disease.

B6 A SCENB IN sWsLIsBUEeH.-On
Thursday evening little incident occurred
in our neighboring town of Wellsburgh,
which startled the quiet people ofthat place
and caused quite sensation and no little
gossip. It appears that a young man
living near that place, has been for some
time very profuse in his intentions to a
certain soldiers wife, who suspecting that
his designs were not honorable, encouraged
him to come to the house on Thursday
evening, with a view of exposing him. He
made his appsarance, according to agree
ment, and remaining until late hour and
having some distance to walk to his home,
he asked to be permitted to remain until
morning. The privilege was granted and
the young man retired. he had scarcely
done 80 until the woman stole out of the
house aud reported progress to neighbor
woman. The two armed themselves with
broomsticks aud clubs, and rushing into
the house caught up the young mans cloth
ing flung them from the window, and COM
menced belaboriug him most numerically.
Some one outside picked mp the clothing
and scattered the different articles in vari-
Gus directions. The noise produced, COM
ing from usually quiet portion of the
town, alarmed the People5who were still
sitting inzdusky door ways, aud hundreds
ofpeople rushed toward the scene of con-
fusion. The young man being unable to
recover his clothing broke and run like
the North American Indian that he looked
pursued BY the women, who by this time
had been largely reinforced. he stopped
at no obstacle but ran over and knocked
down all who encountered him, until he
effectually distauced his pursuers. On
Friday the young man packed up and took
bis departure from the neighborhood. 70
