not disease, that something ought to be
done to make life comfortable during

present would not only abandon any in
tentiOn of making fredericksburg n
home, but would leave with a very bad
impression of the cleanliness OF our men
as well AZ the personal pulchritude OF our
women.
The remedy is very simple and mex
pensiye; probably the original cost OF
the investment would be five or six hun
dred dollars in two or three large hogs
heads or tuns and six or eight horses
which could be hired, when needed. with
two or three drivers, who might also be
hired, or two, or even four horses might
be purchased. to be used also ior the fire
