THE aAPRIqE SrRYLCE.

The collection and removal of garbage and
nightsoil from the city has of late been the sub
ject OF frequent remark. Some SIX months since
the collection Of garbage, which up to that time
had been done by twenty men appointed from the
several Legislative districts, was given out at
contract BY the Governor, the contractor also
agreeing TO remove al ashes from premises TO-
gether with the garbage FOR thesum specified.
The regular collectors were discharged. After
about three months II was found that the con.
tractor failed TO perform the duty sstisfactorily
The contract vas therefore. annulled, and the
service placed under the direction OF an inspector
Of the Board Of Public works. II passed nop
the control Of the Board OF Health when the col
lection was given to the contractor.

Distinguished Bone-setters.

Dr. Stephen Sweet, who di ed in
Franklin, Conn, the other day, was not
the original distinguished bone setter
of that name. DR.. Stephen Sweets
father, grandfather, and great-grand-
father, were distinguished bone-set-
ters; SO were his uncles and grand
uncles,> back to the original Benoni,
who died in North Kingston, R. l.,
in I751, at the age of ninety. This
BenOni was in early life an officer in
the British Army, and was better known
to his neighbOrs as Capt. than as ''Doc-
tor" Sweet, but his skill in bone-set-
ting was of high repute in Rhode Is
land and in Eastern Connecticut. His
son, or nephew?) Job Sweet, became
still more distinguished, and after the
revolutionary period Aaron Burr sent
for him to come to New York to re-
duce the dislocated limb of his daugh
ter Theodosia, and the old doctor to
the last day ofhfs ife-enj telling
the story, how he Outwitted the New
York practitioners. When lie was in
troduced to his patient, the profession
al surgeon Of the family was present.
and after brief consultation, it was
agreed that the operation should be
performed that afternoon. When the
surgeon had left the house, Sweet ask
ed permission to make an examination
of the case, saying ''he'd like to see
just what he'd got to do.' Burr con-
sented, and the doctor, after some ia
miliar chat with the little patient,
which dissipated her fears, acquainted
himself with the precise nature of the
dislocation, and his hands compressed
the limb more firmly, the sufferer gave
one scream, there was u ''clicko as the
bone came to its place, and the doctor
said, with one of his droll laughs,
s'There now! guess 'twont be worth
while for me to come back again after
dinner" He would never tell what
fee he received for the operation, but
he said "Mr. Burr paid him hansum-
very hansum" This Doctor Job Sweet
who lived and died near "Sugar Loaf
Hill," in South Kingston, had o son
Benoni, who emigrated to Lebanon,
Conn, and who died at the age of
eighty in 1S4O-the father of DR..
| Charles Sweet, of Franklin. One
branch of the family still resides, be-
lieve, at the old homestead, in South
Kingston, or near by. Defendants in
the fifth generation were practicing
there five and twenty years ago, and l
remember the names of some half-doz-
en- distinguished bone-setters' of the
Sweet family within that PERIOD
