but one of many more such interesting
occasion to take place there in the future.

Prevention Of Epidemic.

The following good advice and instiuc-
tions by Dir. c. w. Chancellor, secretary
of the State Board OF Health, We think
worthy of the attention of every one Just
now when pestilence is raging in Europe,
and its importation to this country Is
imminent:
in cities Urtowns the. sticct> should be
daily cleaned of all o!lal. dirt and impuli-
ties whatever, and the CUTTERS frequently
washed with running water. In no yard
or open lot should any collection of ami
nal or vegetable matter be allowed to
remain, nor any ccsspoui be left untitled
with clean earth.
Cellars should be kept dry and clean
and the sinks well cleaned ont and dsin-
fcc'ed with a strong solution Of chloride
of lime or c"pGras. These substances
should also be sprimklcd over the floors
of cellars. Free ventilation of sittin.
and bed rooms should be enjoyed and
practiced, the floors dry-HrrHbjtd and the
bedding and bed clothes aired at least
once day. All kinds of rooms or halls
in which number of persons congrcgatc
together. as in schools, churches. manu-
factories, &c, should be supplied with Il
constant renewal of fresh air.
Personal cleanliness should be risiGly
promoted by regular ablution or bathing
in water of such Il temperature As the
feelings and experience of the individual
teach him to be most agreeable and salu
tary. Friction of the SIX in with A coarse
towel or brush are particularly service
able. The clothing should be thir!,
enough to protect the body against sud
den changes OF temperature, or from sud
den co"iinG after being ovcrheatcd.
Temperance and regularity of life in
all respects. which are SO Serviceab.e in
protecting against most diseases, are re-
Iuircd to be observed in particular dc
