ional cases in other quarters of the city. The
board of health continues the use of carbolic
acid as disinfectant. Mr. j. C. Clark, gener-
al manager of the Jackson road, having pre-
sented ten car loads of fresh-burnt lime. Ar
engagements are also being perfected for ir-
rigating the city by flushing the cutters with
river water. The hopes of the health officers
of checking the disease by carbolization seem
to be weakening. This city is generally con-
ceded to be in flthier condition than for
fifteen years. In fact since Gen. Butler had
it cleaned the fever prevailing here is of a
mild type, and the board of health decided to
continue quarantine against vessels from in
fected points.
