STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The probabilities that were attacb.c
70 the bill in relation to the formation
Of State Board of Health have appar
emily all been swept away and the mat.
ter OF Its existence as it looks at pre-,
sent Is only question OF time. The
state Medical Society Is bringing every
influence of which it is capable towards
the contamination of the scheme. Tn,
consideration OF the matter was referred
to a special Committee, of which DR.
Sharl, Of the House is Chairman. Tha,
1t will prove Of the greatest good TO tn.
community none will gaiDsay; its OBJ
jects is for the advancement of th.
health of the citizens; and secure un,,
itself such information bearing upon
the various diseases as will In s mras
ure ameliorate the sutferillgs of our p.o
pie. The bill provides that the Boarc
shall consist OF seven physicians, thre,
from New Castle County and two eacI
from Kent and Sussex and one clerk
who shall be salaried.
THE SHERIFF SALES,
The interference in the Sheriff sal.
sale law as it stands, its present 4tt-c.
tiveness, which was lor-shadow.d in a
former letter, has come at last. Mr..
Cochran this afternoon began that in.
reference with the introduction of a
resolution providing for the disposition
OF the sales, to wit: that they shall an.
pear in one Of the two papers (which
the law provides,) which is published
in the Hundred in which the property
is situated. As Mr.. Cochran comes from
Middletown it is but reasonable to sup
pose that the bill was originated there;
as it will apparently benefit no one ex.
cept the Middletown Transcript, whose
editor has long been working for this
object. There are a few of
the members who are in favor of the
measure; while there are others who
think the present statute a just one and
are loath to make change.
woRKTsGMEN's LOAN ASSOCIATION.
This afternoon an interesting debate
vas sprung upon the House pending
,he passage Of the incorpation act of the
'Workingmen's Loan Association in
which several new ideas in relation TO
he true inwardness of loan associations.
t has caused by speech made by
sheppard Houston in which he stigma
lied the institution as AKIN to sw,nd.
ing institution.

ion in strong terms against Mr.. Hous-

" conclusive evidence. The sentiment.
However, was in favor of Messrs. Dean
