Aessrs Editors My last TRIBUNE
brings the timely, and in many respects
excellent circular Of our Board of Health,
requiring the removal and abatement
ofcertain things which have thus received
their official hands as 7auisances
| love neatness, and shall gladly coop
crate with the authorities in all efforts
directed to the securing of health to our
citizens. Ny objection to the regulation
OF the Board of Health is that it does not
20 far enough. What would be thought
Of the man who, to secure the health Of
his family, should scrupulously white
wash his cellar, throw open his pig-stye,
paint and varnish his pump, and yet
throw arsenic into the cistern from which
the whole family drank Or, changing
the figures, what must be thought of that
standard Of public justice that hangs q
man for petty larceny, while the murder
er receives public ovation? If our
/ Board Of Health has power against the
objects named, why not against ereEy
source Of disease and every agent by
which victims for cholera are being pre-
Uared ? And who does not know that dR1
one OF the twenty or thirty grog-shops il
this city will cause more cholera than te'
| pig-psus? Why, then, IS it not plainl,
the duty of our board, on purely sanitaT.

be found the law passed BY the Legisla-
ture just closed, prohibiting the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors by saloon keepers to
minors and prohibiting their playing
games in saloons. The law might very
appropriately be called law to prohibit
the making of Drunkards, for but few men
become confirmed in habits of intemper
ance who do not contract the habit of US
ing Intoxicating drinks before they are
twenty-one years old.
We look upon this law as calculated to
do much good if properly enforced. Let
us prevent our young men acquiring the
habit Of drinking, and drunkenness viii
soon cease TO stare us in the face on every
street corner, while many Of the drinking
houses where drunkards are made, will
be obliged TO close, and their proprietors
seek more honorable ayocation for q
livelihood We hear it already intimated
that this Inv cannot be enforced in Min
cral Point, aud judging from the constant
violations of the provisions Of the city
charter and ordinances, such a conclusion
is very natural ono. We do most SIN
cerely trust however, that cur city au-
thorities viii for once exhibit degree o
