BOARD OF HEALTH-At the meeting Of
the Board of Health, yesterday, the COM
mittee appointed at the last meeting to
wait upon Judge Leonard and represent
the necessity of enforcing certain sani-
tary measures beyond the corporate
limits of the city, asked further time
within which to perform that duty, which
was granted. iAbst
The following resolutions, on the death
of DR. Study, were presented by the com
mittee, and adopted:
Resolred, That in the death of DIR. j.
NJ Study we feel the profession has lost
an able representative, the Board use
full member, and society at large
deprived Of the services of a ripe
scholar and Christian gentleman, en-
dearing himself to all by his many
virtues and uprightness of character, and
by his silent and eloquent charities,
challenging our respect and command
ing our confidence.
Resolved That these resolutions be
spread on the minutes of this Board, and
that the Secretary be requested to fur
nish the daily papers with a copy of the
same.
The Health Officer stated that he could
not introduce the sanitary measures, or
dered by the Board, at Fort Pickering,
unless he could get a guarantee from
Judge Leonard that the county would
pay the expense DIR. Creighton sug-
gested that the Secretary of the Board
appoint a sufficient number of special
health police to carry out the necessary
sanitary measures at Fort Pickering, and
establish a system of cleanliness among
the negroes in that vicinity, said APP
pointees to have power to make arrests,
etc, under the direction of the Metropol-
itan. Police Commissioners

UNNECESSARY ALARM We have been
informed that many country people are
afraid to come to town to transact bust
ness in consequence of the exaggerated
reports which have been spread among
them in regard to the deaths from chol.
era in the city. The negroes leaving
town and seeking homes in the country,
tell the most distended stories of the
way people are suffering and dying here
the negroes being poisoned at the rate
of three or four hundred day, etc The
farther these reports travel, like rolling
ball of snow, the larger they get, and it
is q wonder how sensible people can be
lieve them. We would inform our coun-
try friends that there is no danger in
visiting the city. If they were to come
here they might transact business and
leave town without seeing anything to
tell them cholera was here. The deaths
are mostly among negroes, whose care
less mode of living makes them ready
victims, and a report being current
among them that the white folks have
combined TO destroy them, they refuse
10 send for doctor, and die. They
will not even believe in the Bureau, say
ing that the Yankees are just as bad as
the others, and it is wonder, under
these circumstances, that the deaths are
not more numerous.
