BOARD OF HKALTH.-Last Wednesday nigbt
the Board of Health met. Present: Dr. Chop.
pin, President, Drs. Austin, Albrecht. Tanau
and Jones and Messrs. Hardee, Mott and Boyd.
The. Sanitary Inspector of the Second Dis.
trict in his report for July says: The preya.
lenoe of yellow fever and the all. .absorbine in.
terest in its progress felt by the entire popn.
lation, have Withdrawn public attention from
the general health Of the district which, save
the few cases of yellow fever already reported.
has been very fair. But this soourge, which
hitherto has principally confined it's ravsees
to the first district, is now slowly creepine
across Canal street, and it is to be feared that
within fortnight there will be cases all over
the district from Canal to Esplanade.
The Sanitary Inspector of the Third District,
reports that during the month that locality
has been entirely free from yellow fever.
Malarial fevers have prevailed to some extent,
but there have been but ssven deaths.
The Fifth District (Algiers) is healthy, az
also is the Seventh. In the Sixth there has been
only one case of fever. No reports were made
by the inspectors of the First and Fourth Dia.
tricts.
Dr. Chopin in brief address gave q sketch
OF the disease from its first inception, on the
l2sh OF July, and the remedies taken to show
the ehcacy OF disinfeotion. The first point in
which the disease existed was that focns
bounded by Magazine Chippewa, Thalia and
Feiicity streets. A free use Of csrbolic acid
mad resulted In the suppression of any new
cases. The second infected locality was the Sec.
tion bounded by Magazine, Poydras, Julia and
the river, this, too, yielding to disinfectants.
Inc third focus lay between st. Joseph, Girod,
Magazine and Treme streets. Another focus
occurred in the section bounded by 81. Joseph,
airod, Liberty and Treme and Cont streets,
as far back as Galvez. A sixth in
IN Customhouss, between Royal and Bourbon,
with few cases in the section bounded by
Josephine, Coliseum and Philip streets. Every
'ase outside OF these was recent, and he hoped,
~ the use of oarbolio acid, to eventually ex-.
erminate the disease.

Jury, of which Mr.. 8. n. Todd is foreman, and
which is composed of some of our most req
'ected and Influential citizens has presented.
ts report to the Judge of the Superior Crimi-
lal Court. The subjoined synopsis will be-
ound interesting:
Charity Hospital-Excellsutly managed by
'isteriAgnes and twenty five Sisters of Charity.
SO patients. Sister Agnes stated that since.
al had been sapplied on making their wants

Parish Prison $50 prisoners, 9 smaller num-
er than usual. They have q suficiency Of
9od food and many seem to enjoy living in
what ls called the Paradise of Thieves :" good
uarters and nothing to do. The Jury think

tilted on the public streets and in digging
ltones f9r drainage in the rear Of the Boys.

Louisiana Retreat for the Insane-They found,
ere SO patients under charge of ten Sisters of

ible, is evidently the constant thought of
