HEALTH MATTERS. - The Board of
Aldermen will meet tomorrow after
noon in regular session, when it is to be
hoped the sanitary condition of the city
will receive attention. There is little
doubt that the resignation of the Board
Of Health will be accepted. The mem
bers of the Board of Aldermen--or q
majority of tnem-deem the appoint
ment of eight physicians unnecessary,
and it was on this account, mainly, that
the action Of the health officers failed Of
ratification. 1t is probable that to.mor-
row afternoon the Board will appoint
two physicians to constitute, with the
hospital physician, a permanent Board
of Health, on a prescribed salary, pro-
viding each of the two with medicines
to establish the necessary dispeDsaries.
This Board, we presume, is intended to
act as ADVISORY to the Metropolitan San
itary Committee. There can be little
question Of the good results of this
action if thorough, energetic, practical
physicians are chosen.

PASSING COUNTERFEIT MoNRY.-The
large quantity of counterfeit. money in
circulation throughout the city has
caused the police to be more on the alert
to discover that class of offenders. Yes

deavoring to rid himself of fifty dollar
bill, so.called," which had been inge-
niously raised from two. He offered
it at several places, but either no one
had the requisite change, or the charac-
ter of the bill was suspected.

SHOOTING AFFRAY ON A FLATBoAT.
Yesterday, Aatboat on Wolf river, was
the scene of shooting ARRAY between
Thos. Pulling and James Bruen. Unable
to amicably settle some dispute, they
resorted to the arbitrament of bullets,
popping away at each other with vigor
worthy of better cause. Nobody hurt,

MAGGIEL'S PILLS AND SALVE are al

be almost always guaranteed. FOR BILIOUS
DISEASES nothing can be mere productive OF
cure than these Pills. Their almost magic in
fuence is felt at once and the usual concomi-
tants of this most distressing disease are re-
moved. These remedies are made from tho
purest VEGETABLE COMPOUNDS. They
will not harm the most delicate female, and can
be given with good effect in prescribed doses to
the youngest babe, FOR CUTANEOUS Dis
ORDERS and all eruptions of the skin the
SALVE is most invaluable. It does not heal
externally alone, but penetrates with the most
searching effects 10 the very root Of the evil.
