foul matter, that tho action Of the may in
very short time render pcstilent. ANY neglect or

cause disease Of such character as to throw
back, to great extent, the prosperity which is
beginning to enlivcn our city; besides, the indi-

with that grace which has peculiarly marked
us, ever attempt to pull our hat to blushing
