BOARD OF HEALTH
AND SANITY CoNNITrrp

FERNANDiNA, FLA, September 1S, 1877.
1t is with profound gratitude that we acknowl-
edge the receipt Of many generous contributions
from Savannah, Jacksonville, Starko and other
places, Which donations have thus far enabled
us 10 supply The wants of our poor and alleviate
the suferings Of the sick but in view of the
fact that many of our citizens have left our
stricken City, md that, therefore, the burden of
providing for the large number of poor and sick
devolves upon the remaining few, and also for
the reason that the medical gentlemen now here
announce 1t as their positive belief that the
dreadful disease in our town will not be stayed
until after frost we reluctantly ask our fellow
citizens who may read this call TO moderately
aid US in trouble
We do not desire more than what is absolutely
needed, and in order to obtain that, and nothing
more, we would ask that corporations, associa-
tions and private individuals, who desire to OK
tend helping hand, may he pleased to notify
us OF the amounts Of moneys or supplies by
them collected, and give US authority to draw
upon them as our necessities may require

PIONEER SrARTs.-We learn that Ezekiel
Mayhem, colored man with some little eduea-
tion, and formerly school teacher in Cane
Creek Township, left for Liberia on Monday
last. As we understand he is sent out to view
the promised land, and is to return and report
his observations by the first of Iext year. Our
natural sympathy for the colored people would
lead us to advise them to stay here among tn ,r
friends, and not to emgrate to a country where
the natives live principally on snakes and bugs
But it seems that evil ideas have crept into tn cir
heads through the teachings of disappointed ne
gro office seekers, and if nothing else but Libe-

No EXCUSE FOR ANY ONE BEING OUT OF EN-
PLoYMENT.--Our attention has been called to
some new and useful cooking utensils, recently
invented which make baking and cooking n
pleasure, instead of dreaded necessity One
OF which, the Patent Centennial Cake and Bread
Pan, made of Russia iron, is so constructed that
you can remove your cake when baked instant
~ from the pan, without breaking or injuring
1t, and you can remove the tube, and convert
it into plain bottom pan, for baking jelly or
plain cakes, bread, etc. Another-the Kitchen
Gem-a plated wire boiler or steamer to hang
inside of an ordinary iron pot, for boiling or
steaming vegetables, etc., which when done, can
he removed perfectly dry, without lifting the
heavy sooty iron pot off Of the stove, avoiding
the danger of burning the hands with the steam
in pouring off the hot water; and the vegetables
cannot possibly burn if the water boils dry, as
the steamer does not touch the bottom of the
pot. These goods arc sold exclusive by through
agents to families, and every housekeeper should
by all means have them. A splendid opportu-
nifty is offered to some reliable lady or gentleman,
eanvasser of this county to secure .sss-esncy
for pleasant and pssr.sssbie business For
