| tour hours ending at midday. This Will place
before the community, as frequently as could
| be desired, trustworthy statement Of the
mortality in the city. The people will know
the whole truth, good or bad, and We may
look forward to a sudden falling of in the
crop OF rumors. and to steady improvement
in the public morale Altogether the city has
been rather cheerful in tone during the past
two days, and the following bulletins will tend
10 strengthen confidence and dispel alarm:
Reports OF the City Registrar.
SATURDAYS REPORT.
OFFICE OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
CHARLESTON, September 2, 1871.
No certificates of death by yellow fever re-
ceived since last report
ROBERT LEBBY, N. D.,
City Registrar.
SUNDAYS REPORT.
OFFICE OF BOARD OF HEALTH,
CHARLESTON, September 8, ls7l-l2 NJ.
Three (S) certificates Of death from yellow
fever received since list report.
ROBERT LEBBY, NJ. D.,
City Registrar.
These reports, and the total mortality to
date, indicate that the fever is disposed to die
out, or take different shape. The nights and
mornings are cool, and the days more like
October than September. This has induced
one OF the weather-wise (not connected with
the Signal Bureau) to predict a frost for the
last days of this month. Neither the small
number of deaths nor this delicious autumn
weather should, however, tempt the people to
relax their exerlions. The cleansing and dis
injecting of lots Is just as necessary as ever,
and, as in Rome, every man should keep his
own door clean. Under Providence, what we
have already done may have helped TO mode
rate the disease and conane it to its pet dis
trict. Now, then, is the time to charge all
along the line with shovels, brooms and sweet
scented deodorizers, so that the jaundiced foe
may be driven into the ocean.
Our Steamship Lines.
Information has been received that the
Charleston steamers, upon their arrival at
New York, will be detained for very short
time. At the worse, passengers will not be
quarantined for more than twenty-four or for
ty-elght hours, nor freight for more than forty
eight or seventy hours. To those who love
"the sea, the sea, the open sea-" this delay will
not be very terrible. King Cotton, certainly,
will not mind 1t In the least. All the Charles
ton steamers come into port with full cargoes,
and shippers, seeing that they run no addition
al risk, mean 10 stick to their favorite line.
The James Adger, which came in on Satur-
day, brought fifteen or twenty car loads of
freight for distant Tennessee. Charleston is
looking up.
The Cleaning Up.
The streets carts, aided by a few extra ones,
were buslly at werk Saturday, and, owing to
the exigencies of the case, on Sunday also.
The repeated efforts in this direction show
visible Improvement in the appearance of the
streets, which are now almost cleared Of the
rubbish which the excitement OF the past week
brought forth from places which before never
saw the light. A large drain running from
the Eagle Engine House down the neighbor-
by the residents in that quarter, has also been
attended to. The rumor which was current
yesterday afternoon on the street that the city
inspector, ]. H. Jenks,lhad returned, is un-
true. That official s still located at the North,
and will, according to the Mayor, "return
as soon as his physician announces that 1t is
safe for him to do 3d."
"A New Departure Needed.
Middle street was enlivened on Saturday,
the first time for many days, BY the appear
ance of a scaveDger cart. The accumulated
garbage Of week was partially removed; but
constant attention Is necessary to insure
cleanliness and health, and the authorities
should be more prompt and energetic in
future.
Ward 4.
The health committee OF this ward met on
Saturday and made full report The yards
| and premises were found to be in much bet
ter condition than the streets. Some few null
sances were reported, that will, we trust, re-
ceive prompt attention. The committee has
been increased to forty, and the meetings
will be held hereafter on Friday afternoon.
st. Mary's Church.
St. Mary's Church, Hasel street, will be
opened at halt-past five every evening, and re-
main open until late hour, in order to give
the congregation an opportunity Of Offering
up their prayers for the speedy extirpation of
yellow fever. There will be mass at this
church at halfpast O'Clock every morning.
