moralized by the Sactville disclosures as his own

This is another good reason for being glad election
is SO near. Mr. Nast's hand seems to have lost It's
cunning His pictures are, for the most part heavy
and pointless.
1t sounds odd to hear the Democratic State
Committee announcing that the State OF New
York can neither be bought nor defrauded.' We
do not think il will be this year, but only be-
cause of Republican activity and vigilance IN pre-
venting the carrying into effect of ubiquitous
Democratic schemes. There is good prosper
that the Democrats will be headed of in their
plans TO count in Cleveland at all hazards. The
State Committee have blundered into truthful
statement but their talk about maintaining the
purity Of the ballot-box has distinctly hypo-
critical flavor.

TIE WoRK OF TIE HEALTH BOARD

Mavor Uewitts declaration that he has admin
;stered his Office solely in the public interest,"
would have sounded better IL he had not expressed
his greatest satisfaction" with his reorganization
Of the Health Board and had left out the state
ment that for the first time in It's history no
ease of smallpox exists within the city limits,
and all the other contagious diseases. which have
been so fatal to children, are now under perfect
control' In his attempt TO take credit for an
alleged improvement in the health of the city, Mr.
Hewitt has made bad blunder. Although there
have been no cases Of smallpox In the city dur
ing few weeks such state Of affairs is not
n novelty by any means The city had enjoyed
several longer seasons OF freedom from the disease
before Mr.. Hewitt imported Democrat from
New-Jers,y 10 preside at Sanitary Headquarters,
and there have been more than twice as many
deaths from smallpox in New-iork since Mr..
Hewitt has been Mayor as during the four pre-
vious years. In sS4 the disease did not cause
single death in the city, and it has killed 17s
NEWCOMERS since January /, 1856
Diphtheria is the contagious disease which is
most fatal to children in New-YOrk and its worst
ravages in recent years have occurred since Mr..
Hewitt recognized the Health Board Scarlet
fever, also, has been unusually destructive to the
lives Of children. How nearly such diseases are
under perfect control" can be judged from the
fact that more than 2,400 children have suffered
from diphthera and scarlet fever in the city
since July l, and more than 500 of them have
died from these two diseases In less than four
months Only three weeks ago 81 cases and
deaths for scarlet fever and 70 cases and 20 deaths
for diphtheria were reported at the Sanitary
Bureau

How a Bull Broke up a sleighride.

Near Milford, Pa, the other day, Il
sleighing party had an unusual and
unpleasant experience with Farmer
Aaron SHADES big Jersey bull. The
party consisted of Mr.. Isaac Melville
and three other young men. AS they
came along the road the bull was in
the barnyard. He looked quiet and
peaceable, until he caught sight of a
red lining of a robe in the sleigh.
Then he beloved, jumped the fence
and went for them. Melville was
driving the team. The bull rushed so
quickly and so desperately upon the
sleigh that he caught Melville upon
his horns before he could whip up the
horses, and tossed him more than 20
feet over high fence into snow
bank. The sudden charge of the bull
and the loud believing he made fright
ened the horses and they ran away.
The bull followed the sleig h and twice
caught it on his horns, but failed to
Overturn it. After chasing the runa-
away team and the terrified occupants
of the sleigh for half mile the bull
gave up the chase, and returned to the
barnyard roaring and believing over
the recollection. of his exploit. The
charge of the bull on the sleigh load
had been witnessed by one of Mr..
SHADES hired men, and he ran to the
aid of Melville, who lay motionless
where he had been thrown by the
furious animal. He was unconscious
and three of his ribs were broken and
his side was badly torn. The runaway
team ran almost to Port Jervis before
it was stopped, having demolished the
sleigh and scattered the three men
along the road, injuring them all more
or less severely.
