order addressed yesterday afternoon to Capt.

the'policemen be instructed to take special note
of all alleys, streets and other places where
nulsances prejudicial to health may exist and
make report of the same, so that the attention
of the health officer may be directed to the mat
ter. The sanitary condition of AleXandria has
been this season very much as usual during the
summer months and, with the exception of
some cases of cholera infantum in the early
summer. all RUNNER diseases have been ex-
tremely light, and now. owing. perhaps, to the
extremely dry weather prevailing. the general
