Ssne suggestions are made elsewhere by Mr..
Ea$$bS upon the river front problem He points
oN that however well disposed Congress may
be no legislation can be counted upon In season
to permit the commencement of the work OF
reclamation before the 1St OF July. In the
mean time the great sewer outlet OF the city
will continue to deposit the sickening fecai
sewage matter upon the flats. He recommends,
as a measure OF temporary relief, the cutting OF
"a canal to take the sewage to the open chan
mel, when 1t Will be carried down the river by
the ebb tides. He maintains that in the in
terests OF the public health the Commissioners
should take action In the matter without a
specific appropriation and trust to Congress
for reimbursement.
For our part We cannot see why the APP
preparation for the improvement OF the har-
Dor, - amounting with the unexpended APP
preparation OF last year to nearly 100000.
should not be available to help In the
reclamation OF the flats In connection with
the dredging OF the channel. For instance.
why should not wall be raised along the edge
OF the Oats to hold the dredgings and prevent
them from washing back into the channel
again? The portion of the flats upon which
these deposits were made in this way would be
permanently reclaimed, and at the same time
the channel would have G greater chance for
permanence than If the dredgings were dump
ed upon the adjacent flats without any guard
to prevent the next flood from sweeping them
back. For all practical purposes the hundred
thousand dollars might as Wen be thrown away
as to expend 1t In this sort OF harbor elm
proyement." It does certainly seem to be an
absurd restriction Of red-tape that would pre-
vent the War Department in the expenditure
OF the money, from applying 1t in the way it
would Go the most good in the reclamation of
the flats, the abatement OF the malarial nuts.
anee, and the permanent improvement OF the
harbor.

The condition of the roadways and drives
through the line OF parks embracing the Ar

pride OF our citizens and the admiration of y,si.

of Old stagers here the voice of the shrewd

one OF the members. has oaen Suggested az an
excellent one to be p.ade. DR.. Toner has made
study OF sanitsry and public health questions,
and bis paper, on these matters have been con-
sioefeo authoritative. Among these was a
treatise upon the excessive mortality OF infants
Is the cities OF the United States, which at
tracted very general attention of the profession
and the health authorities OF our larger cities,
He was the first to suggest sanitariums or camps
In cool elevated rural places or on the sea-
shore for the poor Or sick children of cities
to resort 10 during the hot months Of summer
This suggestion has won adherents and has
been put in practice to some extent by New
York, Philadelphia and Boston. An able paper
written by him on the natural history and geo.
graphical distribution of yellow fever In the
United States, from the settlement of the coun-
try until 1874, with maps and tables, has had a
wide circulation and furnished data for much
that has since been written upon the subject
To affoTd the data to the profession to study the
effects Of altitude, temperature and rainfall
upon the health Of various localities, DIR. Toner
prepared and published Dictionary OF Eleva-
lions and Climatic Register OF the United States.
Following up this line Of studies, his address as
President OF the American Public Health Asso-
citation Ia 1876, reviewed most OF the important
public health questions Of the day. Both from
long study and close observation, he Is excep
tionally well qualified to act upon these mat
ters on National Board of Health.

QUICK WORK. On Sunday last the beau.
tifulfnew Church Of the NJ. E. congregation,
South, of Harrisonburg, was dedicated, Rev
DR., McFerrin preaching the sermon on the
occasion. After he closed he pulled out bis
watch, and remarked that he had but fifty
FIVE minutes in which to raise 81 500 to dis
charge the debt remaining on the edifice, and
he did not want any time to be lost in doing
the work. ssWho will give $500?" was the
question asked. Four gentleman-S. R
S'erling, Jos. T. Logan, M. NJ. Sibert and
Philo Bradley each in the affirm
alive. "Who will give s100?" was the ques
ton that followed, and eleven persons an
| swered yea. Lesser amounts were proposed
and in less than half an hour 81, 200 haG
been subscribed-$400 more than was asked
for the immediate object under considers

PERsoNAL.-Maj. VIM. A. McCue has
been appointed agent of the Lee Mausoleum
Fund, and will travel throughout the U. S.
in aid of that object The appointment is a
good one.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. S. Arnold, left for
their new home in Augusta Ga. last week.
Both were great favorltes and will be greatly
missed.
In the Monroe, Mich, Commercial we find
the following with reference to our new
townsman, DR.. N. Baldwin:
ssWe learn that Newton Baldwin. NJ, D..
who read and subsequently practiced medi-
cine in this place with DIR. Sawyer, but who
has for the past two or three years practiced
medicine tn Dundee, is about to locate, or
has located, in the city of Staunton, Va.
We congratulate the people of that place
upon their good fortune in securing SO de-
sirable an acquisition to their population.
DIR. Baldwin graduated from the department.
of Medicine and Surgery of the University
of this State with honor, and is still hard
student. In fact, that is his greatest fault,
for he has at times studied at the expense OF
his health. Few young men have ever left
Monroe bearing with them to so great de-
gree the confidence and goodwill of those
who knew them as does DR.. Baldwin. The
vacancy caused by his departure from Dun
dee is not likely to be soon filled.''
