THE BOARD OF HKALTH-Honey Vented
SmIil-l or ErGggerGtions-The Coat Nuislnce-
Ec0nomy-At meeting OF the board OF health
last night, Mr.. Langston, from the committee
on ordinances, reported that he had waited on
the chairmen of the committees on appropria a.
ticns aud the District OF Columbia in Congress,
and requested that the necessary appropriations
be made. 1t had been suggested to him that
the board OF health meet the committees and
confer with them. The president OF the BOARD
was authorized to signify to these committee
at what time the board would meet them; also
to invite the Governor to attend with them.
Dr. Verdi called attention TO statement pub
lished in The Boston Con9regdtiondlist from the
Washington correspondent over the signature
Spectator in relation to the small pox in
this city, which he said was very much exag-
gerated; in fact, almost false in every partic IL
lar. He stated that 80 far from there being
hundreds OF new cases daily, there is seldom
new case reported, and the disease Is almost ex-
tinct here. 1t was also untrue, as stated, thai
the authorities conceal the facts connected with
possible within their means to suppress the
spread Of this disease, and by their efforts an
epidemical form had been prevented.
Mr.; Marbury called the attention Of the
running at large, which has become gro wing
evil; they had been notified by the board oi
public works to take some action to rid the
city OF this pest, more especially as many trees
and much ornamental ehru5bery had been SET
out by the District authorities.
Mr.. LapgstOn submitted a resolution that the
sanitary police committee be- and is hereby, d.
rected TO inquire into the subject aud report 10
the board as to whether it may not be advssb le
10 reduce the number of men employed by the
board as inspectors of streets, meas, marine
products and clerks; and, also, as to whether
there may not be changes made in the service
Of this board generally, so to secure the best
results under the law. and that said committee
make their report without delay. Adopted.
A SAD Casa Child With the Small Por
Turned Out of Doors-On Thursday last a little
was brought to Health officer Verdi, who found
him broken out with the small pox and sent him
to the hospital. The story told by the gentle
man who took the boy to DIR. Verdi, and by the
sister Of the lad Is to the effect that the latter
an orphan, and some time since was virtua Ally
adopted by man, who promised to treat him
kindly and learn him the business in which he
(the man) was engaged. Some six weeks ago
this man contracted the small p0x but recovered
and at present his wife Is sick with tho same
disease. On Thursday the little boy William was
seized with the same loathsome malady, where
upon, 1t is stated, he was ordered to take his
clothes and leave the house, as there was no one
| there to take care Of him. All day wednesday
and Wednesday night the sick child and his
sister, aged eighteen, were wandering about the
