"Ah!' said the minister, rushing
out and grasping the man by the

soled boot vigorously under the
coat.tail of his visitor, "what do
you mean, you villain, by leaving

Tho Board Of Health met yesterday afternoon,
Mr.. Hoard in the Chair. The Sanitnry Superin-
tendent submitted bis report for the week end
ing June 81. There wore 1873 deaths, q decrease
Of Is from the preceding week. Males, II !; fe-
males, g.; under years, IS. Cholera-lnfantum
caused the death Of 10, convulsions OF II, feyers
of Il, pneumonia Of II, smallpox Of 8, consump
ton Of 6, and brain diseases OF 6. The mean
temperature OF the week was rs degrees.
The mortality by wards Was as fol-
lows: First, Il; Second, o.: Third,

Eighth, Ninth, 4; Tenth, q: Eleventh, 8;
teenel,, %; Sixteenth, =; Sevonteenth, 6;

The decrease in the number Of deaths compared
with last week is decided, and with the cor7e-
spending week in 1872 stllgroator, there being 81
less. The low dcathrate is attributed BY the SAM
tary Superintendent to slight rain fall. The effect
of it, ho Says is particularly manifest in the un-

The decrease in the number Of deaths from

houses to be connected With tho street sewers
and served 223 notices to have the work done

SHALL WE HAVE A HOSPITAL I

TO The Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
Sic: The sickly season is upon us: It
promises to be Of unusual severity, and~ prob
ably Of unusual duration. In tho opinion Of
our best medical authorities, We havo every
reason to anticipate great amount OF sickness
among the poorer clasaes, and proportionately
large demand upon our accommodations for the
Bick poor. It seems to me not Unreasonable,
therefore, to ask tho County Commissioners
to drop their playthingB in tho up
per story Of Kentucky Block, and
turn their attention, In a manly and
thoughtful wey. to the dissraccful condition Of
our County Hospital, and to the imperative ne
ccssity for d new one. For more than six
months, the necessity for better hospital-aecou-
modations has been kept before them. During
this time, puerreral fever, end ezysipelas, and
hospital gangrcne have stalked through the
miserable, deatl-dea1ng wards, until Or. Miller
has how1ed for paint and whitewash; limbs havo
been lost needlcssly, aud lives have been sacri-
iced vhich ought to have beon aaved !:
and get, in the face Of ell
these facts, the Commissioners havo been
pottering away like echoolboys, trottng up
md down the stairs leading to their picture-gal-
lery in Kentucky Block, thei. heads full Of nlag-
nidcent Court-Houses, With "centzal domes, "
, 1873-06-25

but profoundly oblivions Of the fact that men
and women were actually dying Of sheer neglect
in the disgraceful old rookery which squats in
the Arnold street mud-puddle.
It is entirely within the bounds Of possibility
for the Commissioners to remove oyerr patient
from the present hospital within the next Hi1ty
days. It ought to be done. 1t is no:
necessary to advertise for .anv "plans-"
or open picture-gallery," or do
necessary is q committee endowed with coodly
degree Of energy, alive to the necessities OF the
case. and possessed OF a reasonable share Of
common sense., Tho next requisite is land.-a
large, liberal, roomy lot in Deceit locality
with pleasant and cheerful surroundings, sus.
ceptible OF perfect drainage; And this can b
obtained in one toeek. Let one man, OF ordinary
business sagacity, go about it with the deter
mination to buy land, and to buy it Tor the
county as well aud as carefully as be would for
himself, and weck would not go by without an
ample hospital-lot having been secured Lastly.
We want an abundance OF cheap, one-storr,
"cottage" wards, which can bo erected in thirty
days, to answer the present emergency; rough
barracks, or even canvas-teuts, and infinitely
preferable to the miserable wards Of the present
hospital. Let tho. Commissioners MOVE let
them secure land and erect these cheap cottage
wards, and 0cn let them advertise for "plaus,'
and start "pictnre-gal1erics," aud vote, and re-
sclnd votes, and higgle shout central domes,"
and display their profound ignorance OF archi-
lecture to their hearts content. CIVILIZATION.
