NUISANCE !-Messrs Gentlemen of the Board
of Health your attention. At Fifth and Mon
roe streets there is stagnant pond of water,
which is OF itself nuisance and ought to be
ibated. But, as if it were still impossible to
generate from this pond of itself, a malarial
pestilence, the citizens of the neighborhood
make it the receptacle of all the worthless cats
and dogs which they wish to rid themselves of.
This is too bad. The pond is within the juris-
iiction Of the Board of Health, and we invite
their earnest attention to it.

LOCAL Politics. - Besides Mr. Bright. and
LAWYER Simms, John Akin has come out aH a
competitor for the Democratic nomination for
Mayor. The vote will be taken on Saturday
rumor is floating about that an ATTEMPT will
be made to manipulate the Democratic vote on
Saturday, in favor of some Liberal, T." who would
be able to carry OFF part of the Republican vote
and thus defeat whoever is the Republican can
dldate. There is no prospect that we can dscov-
or, that TINS intrigue would have the slightest
hope OF success, The Democrats will nominate
their own candidate, and Nh Bright will probably
bear on the henor, as he always has, heretofore,
when ne went for it.
