On motion, it was ordered that the
Chief of Fire Department be directed
to make out a pay roll for the tiremen,
and the Clerk was authorized to draw
orders for the same on certificate from
Chief of Fire Department.
Mr.. Steinbaeh moved that the en-
gineer and fremen at each engine
house be directed to keep a regular
watch, and strike the time during the
night. Considerable discussion en-
sued, but upon vote being taken. the
motion was adopted.
A petition was psesented asking for
| a brick sewer from the corner of Sixth
and Bond Streets, and running along
| Sixth Street to the Division Street
Sewer. Some time was taken Up in a
general discussion of the matter, aud
\ it was finally agreed that the Council
would visit the ground in a body, and
see what could be done in the
| premises.
Mr.. Doughty moved to repeal the
| ordinance authorizing the Board of

SOME WHOLESOME ADVICE.-The
intense heat of the past few days may
be taken as a fair indication that the
season Of malignant fevers, Frustrated
physical powers and malarial exhala-
tions is fairly upon US. The newspa
pers come to us from all parts Of the
country laden with melancholy ac-
counts of death by sunstroke or dis
ease, specially induced by the hot
weather, incorporate living and filthy
surroundings During the prevalence
of the weather which is so fatal to
life, words of caution are ever accept
able. There are few simple precau-
tions which, if carefully attended to,
will prevent much sickness and save
many lives.
The effect Of the heat upon the
brain and spine is especially injurious,
and the head and back should there
fore be protected from the heat of the
sun. AS we have before stated in q
previous issue, those persons who are
obliged to be much exposed 10 the
sun, should carry a wet sponge, cloth
or handkerchief, or handful Of
green leaves, in the crown of the hat.
Ladies should invariably shelter the
head with a good sized sun. umbrella,
instead of those diminutive patches
called sun shades and parasols. Even
when suGstroke does not occur, or the
system is not Frustrated through
exhaustion, the overheatipg of the
spine and brain frequently lays the
foundation for multitude Of diseases
in the future
Another precaution, which is of the
utmost Importance, should ever be
borne in. mind. The temptation to
indulge in frequent drinks of iced
water and other iced beverages, and
those containing stimulants, especially
spirituous liquors, should be strenu-
ously resisted, especially when the
body is overheated; and the neglect to
observe the above precautions, have
resulted in many deaths. Every one
should do all in their power to guard
against the dangers of the terrific
heat.

POSTPONED. = By the correspond
ence between VIM. McClain and the
Special Commissioners. published in
our advertising columns this morning,
it will be seen that the drawing in the
great Henderson Land Sale has been
postponed until the 26th day of De-
cember. A few days ago, before the
returns from the agents were all in, it
was thought a sufficient number of
tickets had been sold to guarantee the
drawing on the first day of Septem-
Der, but it turned out that such was
not the case. The Commissioners
positively guarantee that the drawing
shall take place on the 28th of De-
cember, and as the farms were rented
until January 1st, 1870, it will make
no particular difference, as the lucky
persons could Tot enter on possession
until that time. We advise every one
interested to read the advertisement.

Our SEwERs.-Messrs. Hopkins
and Steinbach visited all our sewers
yesterday, and found that great deal
of work was NECESSARY to be done at
once. Last yeATs when the water vas
low, the attention of the Council Was
called to the condition Of Locust and
Sycamore Street Sewers, and it
was stated that $50 would pay all
necessary repairs on both. The
matter was neglected by the Council,
howeveF, and this Summer it had to
be done, and at an expense of over
s., 900. The effects of carelessness
and procrastination are seriously felt
in cases like this, and the present
Board intend to put all the sewer
mouths in good repair at once, while
the river continues low. A big force
Of men win be put to work. so as to
rush the work through before the
water rises. We are truly glad that
the proper steps have been taken at
last to put them in good condition.
