EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
On Sunday night, before twelve O'Clock,
and for nearly one hour and half, st.
Andrew street, between st. Charles and
Carondelet, was rendered all but unbear-
able. The nightmen engaged in emptying
the vault of No. 367 st. Andrew failed to
disinfect properly, and besides spilled part
of the contents of their tubs in the gutter,
40 that the stencil still remains. A greater
outrage or more fragrant violation of the
sanitary law is seldom perpetrated The
residents at No. 367 are, of course, in no
wise to blame, and must have suffered,
though 1 hope not so seriously as the family
of the writer.
Will the health officers try to bring the
guilty workmen to justice, if only for the
sake of enforcing their own regulations and
affording an example to the contumacious
They can get the writer of this for wit

LIcAN, doubt not.

One of the pleasantest reunions partlci-

about quarter of mile this side OF the
United States Barracks. 1t is peculiarly
suited to picnics, having abundance Of
shade trees and shrubbery, with ample
facilities for dancing. There was fine

tent personal acquaintances, the enjoyment
was the greater. Our reporter is indebted
to w. C. Kinsella, Mrs. Kinsella, and other
Ladies' and gentlemen, for many courtesies.
