Out of This Jurisdiction.

A letter was received at tho Health office
yesterday from an old lady living in Troy,
Orleans County, VT, complaining of a filthy
bog, in the rear of her house, which had been
damned by railroad, and of 'sciatick"
rheumatism which, she believed, resulted
from tho filthy condition of the bog. The let.
ter was addressed to the Board of Health, and
requested that they try to do something for
her relief. Chief Clerk Maguin forwarded 1t to
Chief Clerk Dunwoody, of the National Board
of Health, with the following explanation :
" l enclose q communication, received this
morning from North Troy, Vt. relative to a
Bog which seems to be entailng untold
misery upon an old lady with 'scatick rheu-
matism.' One of those soulless corporations,
known as railroad companies is also it would
seem, adding to her burden of affection. Now
as the KidwclP is about all the bog wo de-
sire at one time, and the railroad bill beng
pretty well filled, this matter is tenderly
transferred to the National and if Boys
railroad companies and rheumatism are not
National nuisanccs, then pray what are I?
Now If you can relieve this old lady of her
bog railroad and rheumatism then doubt
not the 'Vermonters will rise up and call you

The Inwnrd FIow of specIe.

1t appears from tho returns mado by the
collector of Gus ,oms at New York TO the
Pureau of Statistics, that during the first
twelve weeks OF tho current fiscal year, en-
bracing the period from July to September
20, the imports of specie at that port exceed
tho exports of specie by $2530G,3li. The
recent flow of Tho precious metals toward the
United Srates is the moro remarkable in view
of the fact that, during every year since 1861,
there has been an excess of exports of specie
from the United States over the imports OF
specie into the United States. Even so late as
the year 1875 there was an excess of exports
of specie over imports amounting to ST.,
100000.
