PRECAUTIONS IN BROOKLYN.

In order to prevent the spreading OF contagious
diseases among the school children Of Brooklyn. the
Board of Health of that city some time ago decided
upon adopting measures of precaution similar to
those in force in this city, but lately the
Board OF Health discovered that . number
of the principals had paid but little regard to it,
not only children from infected houses had been al
lowed to attend schools but also that children had
actually been taken sick in school, In order to OBJ
viate the neglect OF the principals of the schools in
the matter the Board Of Aldermen OF Brooklyn have
passed the following ordinance, which will become
law in few days.
That principal Of any school, m
parent custodian of child minor avng
the and authority 20 prevent shall permit child
minor having scarlet fever, diphtheris smallpox
any dangerous infectious contag agous diseas Sc.
any child residing in any house in which
attend public private school until the Board of
Health shall have given its permission therefor In
be unnecessarily exposed needlessy
other to the taking to the infection of
any contagious disease
In of violation Of the above the offender will
be punished set forth in the sanitary ordinances

Robert Durant writes from Hot
Springs, Ark, that his health is better
and that his terrible humOr is slowly
disappearing under treatment. The
medical virtues of these springs was
brought to notice by highly educated
foreign gentleman who being in poor
health wandered to this country, and
tried the various water cures but with
out success, until he strayed to this out
of-the-way place, and finding a hot
stream issuing from the hill resolved to
battle In it, then a mere mudhole; but
the effect was almost magical, for as
soon as the warm mud and water began
to heat up his body he commenced to
repeat poetry, declaim, talk in foreign
languages, Sc, until his attendant
thought him crazy. Such was not the
case, for as soon as he came out he re-
gained his former frame of mind only
much improved. The water being at
$50 f. gives to IA person certain intoxi-
eating or tonic effects that at once
strikes to the root of humors, catarrh,
&c, eradicating them from the system
with surprising rapidity. Several here
who are afflicted are making prepare
tions to spend the coming winter at the
springs.

animation which showed a good ad-

Golden Wedding.

A notable local event this week was
the golden wedding of Mr.. and Mrs
John Halves. This was celebrated the
list instant at their residence on Main
street, and was participated in by a
large number of invited guests and old
time friends, some 40 of whom dined
with them. Among these guests was
at least one who was present at the
marriage 90 years ago-MOrdecai Hale,
Esq, of Peacham. Col. Alex. G. Halves,
the oldest son, came on from San Fran
cisco especially to be present on this
Interesting occasion. During the dav
and evening many neighbOrs and citi-

Obliged to Work.

An item in this paper last week in
formed the reader that Stewart Harvey
had been sentenced to the state work
house for three months, for assault up-
on sheriff Bailey. Many of our readers
will recOllect that this is the same man
who being drafted in the town of
Peacham during the war, refused To
respond, calling President Lincoln and
and all Union men hard names. etc.
He was arrested and taken to Windsor
prison for safe keeping, and soon after
forwarded to the front. He was not
tried and shot for desertion, as better
men have been, but came back and
sued the town. The court "sat down
on his case, and since then he has
tiOated about beating a living out OF
different parties, until his attack on
the sheriff. He will now earn his board
Tor W days, a thing he is unused to.

West Concord.
The Graded school at West Concord,
taught by Misses L. Kinney and S. R..
May, closed June 9th with rhetorical
exercises. The term has been very
pleasant, which is largely attributable

the number enrolled was twenty four !;
average attendance twenty-one. There
were six scholars not having any absent
marks: Bertha Burroughs, Clara Dow,
Lizzie Dudley, Cora Hill, Harry Hib-
bard and Frank Dow. Twelve pupils
were not tardy. In lower department

verdict of guilty about nine o'clock

had been remarkably calm all through
the trial, tainted on the announcement

McIndoe's Falls.

The temperance lecture by DR.. Ed
ward B. Gleason of Philadelphia, an
nounced in the Caledonian last week,
called together an unusually large au-
dience Sabbath evening, nOtwithstand-
ing the storm. DR.. Gleason is young
man, a graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania from both the academic
and medical departments. The subject
was elOquently presented from physi-
clans standpoint. The method of its
treatment was scientific. The causes of
intemperance are often to be found in
the unnatural and vicious treatment of
young children. The way is thus pre-
pared for the craving of irritating
stimulants. The diseased appetite seeks
satisfaction in rum and tobacco. The
degrading and baneful effects of per-
verified appetite fed by these things,
were wildly set forth. 1t is impossible
to give full outline of the lecture. 1t
is enough to say that the speaker has
ideas clear and distinct, and is able to
present them in such manner as to
please and impress his hearers. The
collection taken after the lecture to aid
in the repairs of the church far exceeded
expectations.

Logs in the Connecticut.

The "drive" of logs in the Connecti-
cut were all got below the Lower Wa
terford bridge last week, where thew
had become so inextricably snarled up,
and the river was falling so fast, that
the river-men were ordered off and il
was decided to let the ''drive" remain
where it was during the summer. But
the rain of Saturday and Sunday
raised the river, and quite large force
OF men was ordered back upon the
drive" Monday morning with the hope
OF getting it all over the shallow water
this summer.
