Il
hospitals in this city have refused 10
avail themselves OF the ordsr OF the
board of health releasing tbom from com
pulsory service on cholera. They held
meeting to-day and passed resolution
declaring that it would be inhunnan and
cowardly 10 withhold their services on
such occasions. The municipal authori-
ties and the board of health, in consider
alton of this most pfaiseworthy acton,
will probably pass a vote OF thanks 10
these brave nurses.
