large, slow-combustion coke or German stove,

With this simple continuance he claims the

AS one of the most important conditions OF
the health of the community, this subject de-
serves universal attention. There is no prac.
ticc more common, particularly amcug the
poor, than that of excluding air, especially
the night air, under the delusion that it is un.
healthy, when IN reality they are shutting out
healthy, iite-giving oxygen and breathing
the poison of carbOnic acid gas. The sub.
ject is one which should command the at
tention of builders and architects more than
1t does. Tenants may do much to make their
homes healthy by the admission of fresh air
and its proper tempering, but they can do
still more il houses are, constructed with ref
erence to making perfect ventilation possible
We pass laws compelling people TO make
houses fire-proof and secure from the danger
of tumbllng to pieces, but make no provision
whereby builders shall erect houses with
reference TO the simple laws of health, al
though there is more danger than in insecure
houses. With regard to churches and public
halls these remarks have still more force, for
in these large crowds are exposed to the slow
but fatal poison of carboAic acid gus Chica.

THE STORM ON LONG ISLAND.

The rain storm Of Wednesday was very severe
on Long Island-about q ounterpart In It's effects
OF the one which occurred just week previous.
Heavy bodies OF water accumulated at various
points, and much damage was the consequence,
dams being carried away. buildings wrecked and
cellars overlooked The Southern Railroad this
time escaped special injury the late trains on the
main line being run with great care and the
trains on the RockaWay and Hampstead branches
being intcrnlitted. Tue Long Island road was less
fortunate. On the Port Jefferson branch the track
was washed away in several places, ana at st.
Johnsland bridge sixty ieet long was
entirely washed away by the Hood, 30 that
travel was entirely suspended, and passengers by
the late tram only reached Nortbport. In many
places on the man line the track was washed to
the depth OF three feet and a detention was then
caused to both the passengers and the mails tue
company being Obliged 10 transfer passengers at
the break previously made between Westbury and
HicksvlIle Yesterday trains were running
slowly TO avoid accidents ana were, consequently,
all behind time. some idea OF the amount OF
water tnat cll and renamed on the surface OF the

The NEW YORK HERALD announces the death In

mention OF THIS name recalls one OF the most
singular prison incidents that ever occurred in
this state. In 1852 Edymoine was convicted of
burglary at Owego and sentenced to five years In
the Auburn Prison, In August, 1853, Governor
Seymour, then In his first gubernatorlat term,
received from Auburn two sets OF papers,
one signed by DR.. Briggs, the prison pny-
sician, and the other by the warden, agent,
chaplain and number OF Keepers, asking par.
