We respectfully call tho attention Of
the Board of Health to the sanitary con.
dition of some Of our streets and alleys,
brought about BY the careless habits of
those persons who consider such places
the proper receptacle for all the trash,
offal and refuse matter they may want
to get rid OF. The accumulations of this
matter in certain alleys and back.yards
is . source of terrible annoyance to all
persons in the neighborhood and is Q
menace to the public health. One alley
in particular IL Z veritable gehenna on
account Of the un.C Christian smells with
which the atmosphere in the vicinity is
constantly loaded. If this condition
continues until the hot months, fatal
CONSCIOUSNESS may be expected. Another
matter which concerns the public health
IL the inspection Of the meat, fsh and
vegetables thst are exposed for sale on
the street and ct the stores. Frequent
complaint has been made that condemn.
ed and contaminated goods have been
offered Tor sale. We have q Health De-
,partment fully equipped with mean,
and authority To abate these nuisances
and little prompt and vigorous action
On their part would do much TO guard
the public from some OF these annoy
snces and actual dangers. n

Water Works.

The members Of the water works com.
mittee, accompanied by several other
interested persons, visited the springs
on Mr.. John A. Patterson's farm last
Thursday afternoon to ascertain the
availability Of that place as a source Of
water supply in case of the construction
OF water works by the city. The springs
in question are found along the course
OF a ravine which extends back from the
valley of Rocky Fork near the bridge on
the West Union pike. At number Of
points along the base of the hill strong
streams Of water issue forth and form a
considerable brook flowing down the ra.
vine and emptying into Rocky Fork.
One OF these springs which has been
open for many years furnishes a stream
OF clear, pure water which has been very
popular on account of it's fine properties.
At number of other places springs can
be easily formed, and the quaggy nature
OF the ground indicates that it is only
necessary to remove this everything layer
from the gravel in order to give free vent
to the pent up fountains within. 1t is
probable that the high lands rising south.
ward from the creek are composed large
ly OF gravel, and should this upon inves.
tigation prove true, these openings would
be the natural places at which to tap the
inexhaustible sheets of water which
those hills contain. The ravine itself
could be readily transformed into a res.
ervoir by constructing a dam across its
mouth; thus forming natural receptacle
for accumulating the water from the diff.
ferent springs.
Accounts differ as to the constancy of
these springs, but it is claimed by many
that they are perennial. 1t is certain
that proper care in keeping the sources
open would greatly increase the volume
Of water, as was shown by the little work
done by the direction OF the committee.
Whether this flow can be depended up.
on during the entire year must be tested
by observation. In many respects the
Patterson place seems designed by ma
ture for the construction of water works,
and while the committee estimate all
these favorable features at their full
value, they are not inclined to take any
hasty or ill-considered action in recon.
mending any particular site without ma.
ture deliberation. Further tests will be
made to,ascertain if possible the exact
nature OF the formation, and several
other places will be investigated before
a reportis made. The matter is in safe
hands, and the conclusions arrived at by
the committee may be relied upon a.
the result Of thorough, practical anG
honest investigation.

THE GAME LAW,
Squirrels May Be killed After July /.

n
The indiscriminate cutting and slash.
ing done by the Democratic Legislature
last winter in repeating and amending
laws, of all kinds has led to great deal
Of trouble and confusion. Among others
the game law was paltered with and
naturally. Misunderstanding got abroad
that the date for hunting squirrels had
been changed to June 1st. As conse.
quence guns have been popping all over
the country for the last two weeks. In
response to many inquiries Prosecutor
Garrett wrote to Secretary Ryan to find
out the real state of the law and received
the following answer which explains
itself:
'" DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
COLUMBUS, June 4th, 1891.
GEoRaH L. GARRETT, Hillsboro, O..
DEAR SIR:-Section 1851 was not
amended last winter. The season when
squirrels may be killed is from July LIST
to December 18th as formerly. There
seems to be an impression that this Sec
ton was amended, but it is a mistake.
l suppose it 10 safe to say that I have
had five hundred inquiries upon this
subject. Very respectfully yours,

The friends OF the College should
understecd that the trouble recently be-
,tween the students and some of the boys
of the town is not to be taken as indicat.
ing any opposition or feeling of unfriend.
illness toward the College on the part Of
'the citizens Of Hillsboro. The natural
rivalry which always exists in college
places between "town and gown" was
carried to an extreme in this case by q
young man who took an unfair edvant-
age OF one Of the students by calling him
out Of the debating society and striking
him in vicious manner before the
astonished collegian knew what was the
matter. This act was punished. a. 1t
should have been by heavy fine and a
severe reprimand from the Mayor. Any
trouble between the students and the
youth Of the town would be universally
deprecated, except OF course, such good
natured rivalry as'is natural among boys
of ordinary spirit. Any evidence OF a
purpose to annoy or injure the school
would meet with the severest condem-
nation, a. was shown by the comments
.aa the people on this incident. The
thoughtless action of few boys does
mot by any means indicate q sentiment
OF hostility in, the community toward
ithe College, for on the contrary that In.
