A RECORD OF BIRTHS.

Alderman Harris Ordinance Provid-
ing That one Shall be Kept.
Alderman Harris ordinance which he in
troduced in council Wednesday night rela-
tive to a report of the births in the city is
regarded as a very important ordinance
1t provides that each physician shall report
all births t. the health officer within thirty
six hours afeer the birth. If no physician
is in Attendance, it is the duty of the parents
TO make the report. The report will be pre-
pared in such manner that the name of
the parents, the street ald number Of the
residence, and the sex of the child, be
given.
Alderman Harris said yesterday that in
view of the fact that there are over 5000
births in the ity in the course of each year
a record Of them is a matter of as much i'm
portance as the record of deaths. The
record he said, ought to be kept at the
clerks office in the same manner as the
death record. By this means the increase
of the permanent population except by i'm
migration can be ascertained. D.. Harris
has besn in correspondence wita
the officials Of all the principal
cities in the state, and finds that in each
one Of them birth record is kept. he is
of opinion that in 1876 it Deca ne a law
making it obligatory on the ordinary of
every county to require report of all the
births in that county. Whether it became a
law or not, he said that no record of births
has ever been kept in Savannah.

TO IMPROVE THE MARKET.
A Sewer to be Laid from the Marke
Building to the River.


Building to the River.
Alderman Red, chairman of the market
committee Of council, is much elsted over
the fact that be is at last able to carry
through his ideas for a more effective drain
age Of the market and market basement,
by running a new sewer from the market to
the Savannah river down Barnard street
He had been trying % get 1t done for more
than year. and after Jealous exerti7ns tie
outgoing council appropriated $500 for
the work.
The city surveyor has been investigating
the matter. ahd preparing plans for the
work, . bids are 10 be advertised for, and
opened at tho next meeting Of council.
Alderman Reid said last night that L has
been very expensive 70 keep the market in
sanitary condition, and with the proposed
improvements he is satisfied that the new
sewer will save It's cost in two or three
wears He expects to have it completed 10y
the middle of April or Nay |.
Alderman Reid explained that the pre- ent
sewer from the market base ent to the
Brougbton street sewer Is not the proper
grade to drain the basement Of the market,
being too low at tue basement terminus
and the consequence has been for years
continuous plugging up Of the saver pipes,
causing a constant expense to the city Of
four weeks. If not cleaned ont the water
will owe flow the pipes and food the market
basement. After heavy rains the storm
water backs out Of the Broughton street
sewer down the Barnard street sewer pipe
into tho basement Of the market.
What is intended now said Alderman
Reid. ''is that a sewer be built from the cen
ter of the market basement to the river, Of
24inch sewer pipe, 50 that the proper grade
can be had for a more perfect drainage of
the market basement. At present we can
not use the water hydrants for washing Odt
the market, as the pipe leading TO the
Broughton street sewer will not carry the
water off, but with the ne W 24-inch sewec,
having sufficient fall, we can more economi-
cally and perfectly keep the market clean
aud in proper sanitary condition.
Several Of the iron sewer pipes leading
from the market down into the basement,
and which connect with the old sewer pipe,
are no Ievcomb9d by OxydiZatiOn and 50
badly eaten out that they will have to be
replaced By new pipes. Some OF the ma
sorry Of the market basement will neces-
sarily have to BE- removed IN order TO con-
meet these new pipes
Alderman Reid was notinclined to estimate
the cost Of the proposed i'm rovement, but
It is thought that II viii be kept within the
limits of the appropriation, and the nee s
SHY Of the improved drainage having long
been recognized, the completion of the work
viii be hailed with pleasure With the
completion If the new drainage system for
the market, it is expected tlat the commit
tee on police will clean out the midnight
bum, that hang about the market base

FLORIDA's NEW ROAD.
The Middleburg, Highland and Lake
r.-.ln- 1879. Enal "a 70 Com n alton

Butler bsin9 Pushed TO Completion.
VIM. Varuedoe, superintendent of the
Middleourg, Il ghland and Lake Butler
fla railroad, spent yesterday in the city
on business connected with his road. Mr..
Varnsd0e said that the road has not yet
been completed, but that the work is being
vigorously pushed and by April /, he
thought, it would be flashed. The road
runs from Middleburg, a prosperous little
town in Clay county, to Highland, wnere it
crosses the line Of the Florida Railway and
Navigation Company. 1t passes then over
to Lake Butler, penetrating country in
which no other railroad uns.
The road opens up a new and fertile Sec
ton. The territory which tue road has is
one of considerable area. 1t is bou lded on
the north and east by the Florida Railway
and Navigation Company's line, from
Jacksonville to Tallahassee, and from Bald
win to Cedar Key. On the west and south
it is bounded by the Sava nah, Florida and
Western railway from Lake City to Cal es-
Vile The territory into which 1t runs, Mr..
KarnedOe said, would have an outlet by
either end Of the line, thus greatly increas-
ing the facilities for the truck farmers and
fruit growers, who have heretofore been
forced t. haul their produce over %
or 30 miles before finding a Shipping

berry culture is rapidly increasing since the
new company has supplied the long felt
necessity of a line opening up chat section
of cou try. Lawtey IS only a few miles
distant, and it is here tn proba ly the
most extensive strawberry growers are
found. Middleburg, the caste n terminus
OF the new road, is situated in the rich val
ley of Black creek, pretty stream empty
ing into the st. Johns river, only few
miles further east.
The western terminus, Lake Butler, de-
rives its name from a lake near the little
town. New river, Olustee creek and
Swft's creek traverse the country
around Lake Butler, and the valleys
lying between tuese streams are very
rich. 1t is here that the stra 1berry and
fruit are cultivated. The irrigation is fine
and vegetation rarely if ever suffers. Mid
lleburg is southwest of Jacksonville and the
st. Johns river divides them. SuDt Var
nedoe is jubilant over the outlook, and he
says that the road is bound to be a success.

ago. Mr.. Beckett was represented by r.
r. Richards, Esq, and Mr. Bender by 4.

dog. which showed a marked degree OF
affection for his young master, was awarded
10 Ir. Beckett by the court. One Of Mr..

Rev. Prof Peschau's Lecture at the
Lutheran Church Last Night.
A good audience gathered in the lecture
room Of the Lutheran church last night to
hear Rev. F., w. E. Peschau lecture on
The Cemetery of the Sea-"
Rev. DR.. Bowman introduced the speaker.
While it is said that the majority Of southern
cite; manifest little interest ii lectures Of
science, literature or history unless the lie -
lures are spiced with the wit or the
sarcasm Of a Ward, an Arp or a Nye,
he said that he was CAD TO see that the &c
He took occasion to eulogizs the speaker in
the highest manner He said that Prof.
Pe'chau was admirably adapted for re-
searches of the sort on which he was to
lecture. He had two languages for his
yernacular. He was for long time pro-
fessor in the Vanderbilt university and
pastor at Nashville. He is now pastor of
St. Pau2s Lutheran church at Wilmington,
editor # the Lutheran Visitor, and is
p esident OF the North Carolina synod
Rev. Prof. Peschau said that he felt like
blushing all the wav over the sea at such
an undeserved, beautiful, eloquent and high
tribute. Launching al once into his lee
ture he described the beauty If the sea. and
spoke of the sun, moon and stars that
bathed in her bosom. It's wonders, he
said, fill the mind as the waters do the
globe. He spoke of the sea as a sleeping
chamber where the thousands sleep the
sleep that knows no waxing. Its
treasures are incalculable. Untold
wealth lies wooing the Shiny bottoms
Of the deep. The number of magnificent
fleets that have gone down during the
clashes of war can OF be numbered, nor
their value estimated. The sea too is an in
ternational graveyard, grander and greater
than Greenwood Cemetery, and more mag
nifcent than the catacombs Of Rome. His
lecture was Of some length. but it was in
teresting throughout. His descriptions
were graphic and his elocution was fine.
He interpreted his lecture with witticisms
that caused an uproar of LAUGHTER
