HYGIENE Rules.

destructive of all epidemics, has made
its appearance in different cities of the
United States, affording possibility of
its reaching Phoebe in its travels west
ward, impels us again to call attention to
the many disease-breeding nuisances
which prevail in many parts of the city,
and which the promptings Of proper
regard for the health of the inhabitants
should cause to be removed at once.
Abundant evidence has been afforded in
the past that the horrors of the disease
may be materially mitigated and posi-
bly, its outbreak prevented entirely by
timely attention to cleanliness and the
observance of suitable hygienic rules.
The Board of Health in Sacramento has
taken hold of this matter in earnest by
directing the Health Officer of that city
to visit and examine every street and
alley within the thickly populated por-
ton of the city, to inspect the cellars,
yards, privies, drains and cesspools, and
to ascertain as far as practicable the ex-
istence and locality of all deposits of
filth, garbage or other offensive or decay
ing matter; also to see that all foul and
offensive places, cellars, privies, yards,
drains, and cesspools are thoroughly dis
infected and purified, following strictly
the rules and measures furnished by the
Board of Health, and it is made the duty
of the Health Officer to require the wood
work of the Easements, cellars and out
houses attached to premises occupied by
the Chinese population to be properly
whitewashed, in addition to enforcing
the other means for disinfection. The
rules for disinfecting prescribed in Sac
ramento might be used here in Phoebe to
great advantage, and we therefore APP
pend the same, hoping that they may
receive attention here: i. Foul and Of
fensive cellars and easements to be filled
up or covered to depth Of at least six
inches with dry sand or earth. 2. Water
closets, privies. cesspools and drains to
be dsifected with sulphate of iron. As
a general rule to be observed half u pound
OF this salt, dissolved in two quarts Of
water, is to be used to disinfect each Gu
bic foot of filth, and the same should be
repeated, except in the cases Of privies
and water-closets, st least once in ten
days. In the latter the daily addition,
after thorough disinfection, as above, by
each individual using the same, with two.
thirds of an ounce of solid copperas, or,
for water-closet, one-third of pint of
the solution above mentioned will be suf-
ficient to keep them inodorous. 3. Car
bolic acid may be used after disinfection
by the iron, in fluid state, diluted with
twenty times its volume of water. 1t is
not to be used as substitute for cop
peras. A. Fresh lime, sprnkled about
the yards, or in localities where the odor
is not Objectionable, chloride of lime will
be found useful deodorizer and disin
fectant, and should be recommended,
but not to the neglect of the use of cop
peras as above directed"
YOU'VE MAN from the country walked
into restaurant to eat, in company with
friend There were cream cakes set
on the table in the dessert course, and our
friend got hold of one, bit it about half
in two and laid the remaining portion on
window-sill near where he was sitting
This process he repeated until he had
some half dozen remainders on the
window-sill. Indignant at what he con-
sidered gross carelessness on the part Of
the cook, he remarked: On these
cakes! they are all raw on the inside! "
A gentleman sitting near in kindly
manner told him that it was custard in
the cakes. The young man, somewhat
abashed, answered: Excuse me, please
sir,.l amt posted up on custards."

New TRIAL GRANTED.-At 4 o'clock yes

trial. A great number of people were
present, circumstance which evinced
the deep feeling in reference to the mat
ter. The opinion of the Court will be
filed with the Clerk, after which synop.
sis, if not the opinion in full, will be
laid before our readers. The time Of

for change of venue (should any be
made) will be given at some future time.
SPR1NKLING THE STREETs.-Owing to
the great amount of water used in sprin-
king the streets by means of the hose
it has been thought best to substitute
water-carts as a means of combating the
dust. W. H. Mckillip is willing to run
water-carts and clown with the dust
daily for $175 week. So far. after can
vassing the town, he has. not been able
to raise subscriptions enough.
ATTENTION, HooKs!-The members o.
the Lightner Hook and Ladder Company
are requested to meet at the Courthouse
on Monday next at o'clock p. M, foI
the purpose of making the proper ar
rangements for celebrating the anniver
sary Of our nations independence.

freshed.
