We hear many Of cur citizen. complaining

our town, and In their behalf, We must again
urge The board Of rusieesto look 10 the clean
lines 81 our Streets slleys, cellars, yards esc.

for this purpo-e, with Directions 10 make
strict and careful examination and report all

infected with Gilth. Our hog have been driven
from the streets and enclosed In Close pens,

arise from the hog pen. in our pid-t. The eel
lars, particularly those on the public square
In our town, remain IN very filthy, sicken-
ing condition, and should the cholera make
its appearance here, much Of the blame must
rest upon those who have promised to look 10
the cleanliness Of our town, and To the health
Of our citizens. We think Il our duty to make
these suggestions while dangers are 20 threat
ening, and hope something will be done i'm
mediately.
