Diseases from Impure Ice.


The danger of illness from the use of i'm
pure ice Is one OF tho unsupported sources of
disease which b been revealed by the modern
system OF medicine. A report to the Massachu-
setts State Board Of Health by DIR. A. IL. Nichols
among the guests at one Of the hotels at Rye
toms were those generally following u derange-
ment OF the digestive system, such as nausea,
Riddiness, loss Of appetite, diarfhBa, abdominal
pain, ana fever, with about i've per cent OF III o
guests these symptoms were grave anu persist
ent. among the great majority, ana notably
with children under ten years Old, there was no
such illness and there we're no traces uf II at the
other hotels and IA the cottages Of I've Beach
The sewerage OF the hotel WAS first carefully In
vestixated and then the water supply he proprie-
tors OF tue hotel lending eager AID to thorough
rese 4Tcn. Even tie kitchen and It's processes
we're overhauled without binding the cause Of
trouble. AT last II was discovered IN the Ice
with which the hotel was supplied. This had
been procured from pond OF which the outlet
h q IN recent ye.rs teen closed by sand and
stones washed w from the sea, the pond thus
becoming stagnant receUtacle OF mud and
th~dust, there being two sawinils on the stream
above. The Ice was subjected TO chemical
analysis, aud was found to contain putrescent
vegetable matter. Tue hotel stopped using this
contaminated ice, and there was au end TO the
sickness among Its DOHrders. The report CON
ciuIes By mentioning that there Is common
out quiie mistaken popular notion that whom
water freezes Its impurities are somehow L
cluded from the Ice. OF course, water which is

EXCEEDING INSTRUCTIONS.

In many of the various parishes of this
State where the Democratic vigilance
committees have been organized, it has
been found difficult to keep the members
down to the work of Republican exter-
mination. The untamed warriors, brave
at the butt end Of shotgun, have tasted
the sweetness of authority, and assume to
regulate all affairs of all men. They are
savage, TESTIFIED dogs, terrible to foes and
dangerous to owners. The Lafayette Ad-
vertiser has been mildly trying to call
them off in Lafayette parish. The Dem
ocratic editor says:
We have been aware of the existence of
vigilant committees in this parish, but were
led to believe that they committed no ex-
cessee, and confined themselves to aiding
and assisting the officers of the law in pun
ishing certain criminal offenses.
The extent Of the jurisdiction of these
committees, heretofore not we'll known or
defined, it appears, has lately been ex-
tended to civil cases, and exclusive and
indepe ndent of the courts.
In civilized communities, these kind of
committees are tolerated only in extreme
cases, and when the public welfare de-
mands urgent action, in fact, only when
the evil to be suppressed threatens the ex-
istence Of the community, and can not be
reached by ordinary means. Under any
