ORDER On THE STREETS.


The Complaint of Numerous Citizens.
A prominent merchant and esteemed
citizen writes us at length on the subject
of good order on the public streets. He is
glad to learn that the federation of the fire
cracker nuisance on the Fourth of July
was not owing to any failure on the part
of the mayor to exercise his authority but
to a permissive ordinance, which he trusts
councils will at once proceed to abolish.
He also calls attention to the increasing
bad habit INDUCED in by many men and
boys of fcongregating around Centre Square
in front of the hotels and cigar stores, on
the Chestnut street wall, in the P. Il. R.,
and at other moro or less public places,
where they stand or sit, it seems for hours,
leering at ladies as they pass, blowing
their cigar smoke into the faces of passers-
by or deluging the pavement with expec-
tOration. and offending the ears of ladies
with ribald jest aud profanity. Much OF
this conduct is of such character as to not
come under the cognizance of the present
police authority, and yet it is in the high
est degree offensive and our correspondent
thinks there ought to be some way found
or made to put q stop to it.

Tho Jail Relieved From Quarantine.
There has not been a case of smallpox
developed in the county prison since the
18th of June, and all tie prisoners who
were affected with the disease are now
cured, Mr.. Hess being the last on the list.
1t is deemed advisable, however, to retain
in the hospital those who were affected
with the disease, instead of returning
them to the prison proper. Meantime
every portion of the prison has been thor
oughly disinfccted and whitewashed ;
th, drains have been flushed and
cIeansed with chloride of lime
and sulphuric acid, and the board of
health believe that the last germ of the
disease has been eradicated from the in
stitution. Prison Keeper BurkhOlder and
his subordinates have been released from
the quarantine to which they were sub
jected, but it is thought prudent for the
present to exclude visitors from tho Jail,
aud the board of health especially request
that aldermen and country justices will
refrain from committing persons to Jail
for trivial offences.
No new cases have been reported out
side OF the Jail to day.

THE TOBACCO MOTH.

A Proposed Combination Against Him.
A citizen Of the Gap, an intelligent ob
server and experienced tobacco grower,
writes us as follows:
The old adage, ian ounce Of preven-
tive is worth a pound of cure" is as ap-
plicable to tobacco culture as to any other
subject. Kill all the tobacco fly Cor moth)
and you will not have any worms to pick
or eat holes in the leaves How many
hours of labor and what amount of money
are lost by the depredations of these pests
and now the problem to be solved is, how
arc wo to get rid of them? would sug
gest that combinations be formed, contig.
uous to each other, of all the growers in
the county. These combinations to consist
of as many as may be convenient, say
a mile in radius. Each grower to Day a
specified sum per acre, say 25 cents,
to q treasurer of their own selection, who
shall keep record Of the persons and the
number of moths delivered, the fund thus
raised to go to the children and employees
of the combination at the rate of one cent
for each moth, delivered to said treasurer
and if any Overplus be left at the end of
the season to 60 as a bonus to the person
killing the greatest number of moths.
Should not twenty five cents be sufficient,
the amount may be made larger, but I
think the average of twenty-five moths
per acre would be more than the annual
crop, and at the end of the season it would
be very interesting item to know the
number of tobacco moth killed in the
county. If this plan Was carried out one
year it is not likely there would be many
to depredate the year following. What
grower would not cheerfully give the wages
of half days labor to get clear of these
troublesome and injurious pests and more
money would be saved by the killing of
all the tobacco moths than is lost by hail
storms. AS the enemy is about there is
no timo to lose.

The M.llersvlile Alumni and Trustees.

EDITORS INTELLIGENCER.-Th report
of the MiIlersvile alumni proceedings in
your paper last evening, in which it is
stated that the resolution passed concern
ing tho dismissal of Prof. Albert does
not censure the board Of trustees, is a
misconstructiOn of that resolution. 1t not
only expresses decided dissatisfaction
with the 3ctiOn of the board in tie case of
Prof. Albert, but suggests firmly aud re
spectfully the necessity Of having full
and fair understanding in tho future with
teachers whose services arc no longer
desired. The fact that the mover of the
last compromise substitute after it had
been amended by the friends of the ILL
treated professor is found recorded among
the very few who voted nay Oh the final
call of the roll, sufficiently indicates
whether or not the resolution censurcd
the board of trustees.
