completed with cOmmendable dispateh-which re
bounds greatly To the credit of Messrs Tibbetts &

bat fast workmen.
II Unsupported that the typhoid fever has made
its appearance among the native population. Ii this
is correct, it is greatly be regretted The Board
Of Health, through its authorized agent, should fur
uisb the natives with printed instructions how to
treat the disease, or still better, make them &C
quainied with the OF preventative This course
wisely adopted aud followed during tue preva-
lence OF the measles with beneficial results
- All well regulated police organizations, pro-
hibit its members from entering drinking saloons
while on duty, except in the discharge of duty
and IN fact, some municipalities TO preserve high
moral standard Of the corps, prohibit it when of

much precision that their arrivals can be counted
on with the utmost certainty, which is great con-
yeuienee, not only to the travelling public but to
the business communities they serve. 1t will be
seen BY the passenger list per City of Sydney. from
this port, that she took with her goodly number
ofour citizens and sojourners, to whom we bid God
