the waitress, with the air of a king:
"Hurry up, CIR! am as hungry as

"Here you are, SIR" said the fair
waitress, as, with trembling hands and

him.

with such a hearty will that every thing
was swept before him. The girls gath

AT Oswego, six miles west of Aurora,
H.. on the night OF the LIST. a most pain
full accident occurred on the Fox River
Branch of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad. The village school
teacher, Miss Brown, had been out for
an afternoon stroll with her pupils, and
had just crossed the bridge over ravine
some 10 feet in depth, but, hearing the
signal of an approaching train, noticed
that one little boy had Jagged behind
and would not probably clear the bridge:
She bravely returned TO the rescue and
saved the life of the child at the proba-
engine crushed the toes of her right foot,
and she was thrown from the bridge,
sustaining dangerous internal injuries.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

The board met last evening. Present: DR.. Chop
pin, presile and Drs. fancy. Jones, Austin
and Messrs. Hardee and Mott.
Col. Hardee read the following report on The
condition of the streets, guster.ways and drslns
Of the city:
New ORLEANS, August 80, 1877
To the Honorable President and Members of he
Board OF Health:
VI Gentlemen The undersigned, members o. a
special committee appointed by your honorable
body to examine INTO the condition OF sae
streets, gutter-ways and drains of the city as IA
as such condition relates to the public hea b.,
beg leave to submit the following report:
The resolution creating this committee %
inspired from the belief that at this particu3 ar
81 asun Of the year greater dangers exist from
mslaral influences than almost at any other, and
1t became important, therefore, that an immedi-
ate inspection should be made emanating from
this body, 30 that where nuisances were found to
exist the proper remedies might be promptly ap.
piled, and thus evil consequences be probably
averted.
There are no more fruitful sources of disease
exiting in the inhabited portions Of such city
as New Orleans than the decomposition of vege-
table matter, which is allowed sometimes to accu-
mulate in the streets IN the form of trash piles,
and also the foul condition of the gutter ways
and drains, which from lnsttention are often not
frequently enough nor properly cared for and
clt ansed.
hiteT cdTeLuf luspeCtlOu udue iIOHl Tue baT-
racks to Carrollton, your COM ittee is pleased to
be able to state that, far their observations
extended, they found the city in exceilen cond-
ton, without any serious causes for complaint,
and involving no present apprehenslons of disease
prevailing from internal causes.
The streets were found unusually free from
trash piles. and the gutter-ways bore evidences
of constant care in keeping them clean In con-
sequence of this condition of things few, if any,
ofensiye odors were encountered, having their
origin in any Of the above mentioned causes. and
the Conclusion was, therefore, reached that the
factory sanitary coudiion.
1t is due to the parties contracting with the
civ for this work Of cleaning the streets, TO
state that they seem to be performing tLeir
duties faithfully and with marked efficiency.

End of the Gov. Morton ana LOG Im-
br0gIiO.
Judge Billings Thursday morning quite early
took bis seat in the Circuit Court poom looking
somewhat more refreshed than hs did the day
before after his long session. Taking up the ship
Gov. Morton case he at SONS length reviewed the
testimony addueed before him and decided that
the cotton press should receive one dollar per
bale for the damaged cotton stored and that the
appraisers should receive ten dollars per day
each, making the sum OF about one hundred for
each. After completing this decision he took the
cALoAsrEu Log BUSINESS
in hand. The issue before him was on rule to
compel the marshal to accept certain suretes,
Judge Billings reviewed the law carefully and
stated that under the statu es there WAS nothing
to warrant his interference wi h the marshal re-
specting the suretes he takes for his own per-
,onal security. He, therefore, ordered the rule
dismissed.
This closes the log war, and the mill men are
exactly where they were when hostlities first
opened The marshal still retains them in his
possession, and nothing now is ahead except
their judicial sale.
Speaking Of the log matters calls up the fact
that
F. q. CHAMBERLAIN,
who has for many years practced at the bar OF
our recorders courts and subsequently appointed
United States commissioner, and who figured
quite conspicuously in the log business. He
made journey to New Haven to see Judge Bill
lngs in the case, and Chamberlain had done this
and done that according to the kilograms.
Well, poor Chambersin's days are over, and
the glory of noble ambition faded, for Judge
B llings requested q piece Of his manuscript in
the shape OF a resignation, which was according
ly sent in, and he was no more commissioner "of
mine."
The minutes Wednesday state that the resigna-
ton of F. G. Chamberlain, United States Com
missioner had been accepted by the court. Sic

THE TURKI-H FORCES.


LONDON. Aug. 25.-The Turks have
been blamed for not following up their
recent successes at Plevna. Their mac
ton was not the result Of apathy. They
were waiting to attempt q movement en-
n,asSe, deciding not to stir until all their
forces were in position. The present
activity shows that all the Turkish
armies are acting under one supreme
direction. The correspondent of the
New York Times at Bucharest writes
that their forces now number 30 900 men
at Rasgrad, 10000 at Osman Bazaar,
10, 900 with Suleiman Pasha, and So, 900
at Plevna and Loftscha, under Osman
Pasha. To-day they are faced by 200,-
900 Russians.

on record has been committed in Swe-
den. A government official in the dis
trict of Ripca, wearied by pecuniary
difficulties, took row with. his wife
and two children upon neighboring
lake, ostensbly to pass few hours in
fishing, but after getting to q distance
at which he could do no harm to others,
he applied q match to quantity Of ex~

served, taken with him, and blew the
boat and it's occupants literally into
fragments.
