The MEETING To-N1aHr-A meeting of
the Board of Trade and citizens generally has
been called for Saturday evening, at the
Court House, and we presume the town will
be well represented in all its various depart
ments of trade and business. The action ia
ken in Richmond we are glad to learn
through the Wing, was not by any means
imposing when the vote was taken; and the
fact that it was an exhibit of the enemies of
the scheme of General Malone, accounts for
the passage of the resolutions.
We trust that we shall have full express
sion of sentiment and opinions on the point
at issue--that the sentiment will be liberal
and the opinions sound, we have every reason
to believe.

BOARD OF HEALTH.-We lay before our
readers, the reports of Doctor jackson, and
Major Simhs The lateness OF the hour at
which we receive these papers prevents our
making extended remarks, but we shall re-
turn to the subject tomorrow
= The Secretary of the Board of Health to
whom was entrusted the duty of supervising
the operations of the disenfecting corps, begs
leave to report:
That he has continued to devote most of
his time to his duty, considering it important
to find out where the disease exists, SO as not
to let single case escape attention and to
inspect the neighboring localities so as to dis
for it, and to prevent if possible, its escape
from the localities Immediately infected.
The appearance of the disease on East
Main street, and its persistence in the crowded
and filthy tenements Of Rothery,s Land, have
: required the utmost vigilance and care to
prevent its transfer, by the easterly and orth-
erly winds which prevailed in the early part
of the week, to the better portions of the city.
So far we have been very successful, for
though case occurred on Nebraska street, it
evidently was imported from Barraud's Court,
and we have been able to confine the disease
AZ VIC VI Two HOUSES III taCIl ulStTtCt.l
Capt. Simms has been ndefatigable in con-
Quoting the operations Of disinfection in eve
~ locality to which his attention has been
directed, or in which he has found case of
Cholera, as will be seen by his report, accom-
paying this He has occupied the force un-
der his control in cleansing the infected prem
ises. in using means to prevent the develop
inent Of the .Choeraic poison in the excreti-
sons, and in destroying, burying, or disinfec-
, ting the clothing of the patients.
The temperance of the Disease on Mich
olson st. and Fox's Lane, should not weaken
confidence in the efficacy OF the Disinfectants,
for they were used in those localities previous
to the late rains, which were of several day s
duration, and by which they were rendered
Inert.
Still feeling the fullest confidence in the
efficiency of these means, and believing that
hecan give the Board the fullest assurance that
we still have the disease under control, the
Secretary respectfully recommends their con-
tinued employment until this unwelcome WIS.,
tor entirely disappears from our city.

that he. for sanitary reasons. was forced to
issue an order to bury this defunct ",Ward Of

A SWORD TURNED INTO PLoU6H SHARE.
Up to the present time Capt. Ward has
picked cotton crop which will nett in ginn-

be increased, as he is still at work, and will
continue as long as the. season permits The
present belief is that this great staple will
now command still higher price, and we trust
our enterprising townsman may get the " top
of the market"
