REPoRr or THE SANITARY COSDirIoS op
WAsniSdros.- Under dato Of August 20, inst.
Major Richards, Superintendent Of Metropolitan
Police, submitted the following report to the
Board Of Police, enclosing one from Lieut. Cor
nolius Noonan, chief Of the sanitary detail
which explain themselves
"I transmit herewith tho report Of Lisutenant
NOonan, Of the sanitary company, in rsferenc.
10 the cleansing Of premises occupied BY coiored
people, who have settled In various sections oi
this city within tho past i've years, and who are
In very destitute circumstances. Great credit Il
due 10 General Howard and the oficers whom
he detailed 10 assist In this matter for their en-.
ergy and promptitude In cooperating with the
sanitary officers Of this department In sifceting
this very necessary and desirable result.n
The following Is the report Of Lieut. Noonan,
spoken Of In the abovs, dated Aug. u, instant.
"I have to report that tho work Of clsansing
and whitowAshing the houses Of the poor colored
people Of this city has been finished on the part
Of the Government, In conjunction with the sani.
tary company. The work performed was found
to be Q very laborious and difficult Undertaking;
but, as general thing, the colored people ron.
dered every assistance to perform the good work.
The number Of tenements supplied with lime
and put In order is 3,072, requiring 387 barrels
Of lime, besides labor, brushes, buckets, 30. In
connection with the above I have to remark,
from personal observation, that IL is almost
miraculous how the health Of the city Is pro.
served a., IN many instances, the houses Of these
poor people are built In ranges so close together,
and are so overorowded with human beings, that
can only imagine what would DO the conse.
quenoe should the oholera or other infectious
disease break out among them. have learned
from some Of these poor people, and from other
responsible parties, that, In numerous cases, en-
ormous rents have been paid for those miserable
shanties to the owners, somo Of whom are repre-
sented as being worth Thousands, and even mil.
Hons Of dollars, and who deny the ownership Of
those novels and yet send their agents To force
from them tho last cent they have. Could not
tho Government be appealed to to build small,
comfortable houses for these unfortunate people,
and charge reasonable rents, and thus prevent
Thousands Of lives from being swept away on
tho approach Of cholera. In submitting this
report, beg to state that Capt. W. s. 0'Neal,
who has beon experimenting the work on the
part Of tho Government, has done his duty faith.
fully and energetically and II Is owing to his
good management and the untiring exertions Of
the sanitary detail that the work has been com.
pleted so soon.

IL A TIGHT PLACE AT l., on Sunday
evening, tatigued by his long journey, wa
goner and his son John drove the team into a
good range. and determined to pass the Sab
bath enjoying season of worship with the
good folks Of the village. When the time for
worship arrived, John was sent to watch the
team, while the WAGNER went in with the
crowd: The preacher had hardly announced
his subject, before the old man fell asleep. He
sat against the partition in the centre Of the
body slip, while just against him, separated
only by the very low partition, sat feshy la
dy, who seemed all absorbed in the sermon
She struggled hard with her feelings until, un-
able to control them any longer, she burst out
with loud scream, and shouted at the top OF
her voice, rouSlng the old man half awake,
who thrast his arm around her waist and cried
very soOthingly
WO, Nance! wo, Nance Here. John,
cut the belly-band and loose the breeching---
quick or she Ii tear everything to pieces :.
1t was all the work Of a moment, but the
sister forgot to shout the preacher lost the
thread of his discourse, and the meeting came
prematurely to an end, while deeply mortified
the old man skuiked away determined not to
so to meeting again until he could manage to
keep his senses by remaining awake.
