THE report Of the Board of Health
of this city for the week ending Aug.
%, published IN the UNION AND AMER
ICAN of the 23d, gives the number of
deaths as 90, of which - were infants
less than one year old. This fact, un-
explained, would indicate that children
are born in Nashville only to die short
of twelve months existence. As one
half Of the deaths are noted as colored,
the report should have stated how
many of the infants less than a year
old were black, and how many white.
We suspect that over half were the off
spring of colored females, and that ig-
norance and carelessness were con-
cerned in making thedeath-rate as high
as reported. Nor is the care and nurs-
ing of white infants 50 perfect that
none lose health and life from mater
nal and other mistakes. A Nursing
woman may eat or drink to excess, and
her milk cause disease in a child, while
her system, having the vigor and
strength of full maturity, escapes with
impunity. The frequent cholic, sum-
mer complaint andotherills to which in
FAINT flesh is heir, have their origin In
defective nutriment, dawn generally
from the breast and blood of an adult
female Ignorance and bad habits COM
bined kin thousands, in spite of all the
doctors, apothecanes and dcarefulnurses.

himself can be his parallel.

The Stone Road.

An effort 10 being made in the State
Legislature to have the Western Reserve
and Maumes Road transferred from the
State to the counties of Wood and
Sandusky. We see that the people of
Sandusky county are demonstrating
against such transfer. Unless we are
mistakened, such remonstrance is not
necessary. The State cannot compel the
counties to take the roal, neither can 1t
neglect to keep the road in repair so long
as the counties through which 1t passes
refuse TO take the road from the State,
Under these crcums ances, it would be
exceedingly foolish for the counties to
accept the road at the hands of the State.

the State OF Ohio vs. Conductor SHIELDS

cording to its views, corporation cou1'ils
may issue bonds for any purpose and in
unlimited amounts without authority
from the people. 1t is either very ignor-

on the ignorance of its readers, when 1t
asserted that Perrysburg raised money
