THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

PATIENTS AT THE HOSPITAL, :

Dr. Jonkius to-day made the following report : ‘

To the Chairman of the Board of Health :

Sin,—There ie no death to ‘report for Saturday and Sunday.

Christy Bell is gradually sinking. I do not thiak she can survive more thao twenty-four hours. j

Jas. McQuillan is attacked by the disease. He has no bad symptoms at present.

T have, ete., J.T. Jaxxms, Health Officer. PATIENTS IN THE CITY.

Dr. Warburton, ait noon to-day, made the following report :—

To Dr. Johnson, Health Officer :

Six,—-All the smallpox pationts in the city are doing well to-day.

There have been no new cases since my last report.

Jas. WARBURYON.

To the Chairman of the Board of Health:

Sir,—I have to add to Dr. Warburton’s report that three houses have been released from quarantine to-day.

I have, ete., J. T. JENKINS, Health Officer. BOAKD OF HEALTH.

A meeting of the Board of Health was held on Saturday ovening. Present-— Henry Beer, Esq., Chairman; Messrs. Morris, Douse, Horne, McRae, Davy, Me- Lean, Kelly and Ourtis.

The Chairman stated that the meeting was called for the purpose of receiving the following letter and other matters from the Health Officer :—

To the Chairman of the Board of Health : Six,-—It affords me much satisfaction to be able to repor that no case of smallpox has occurred within the city in any new centre since the Lith inst. Forasmuch, therefore, as the comparatively few in- fected houses still remaining are under isolation,and will not supply representatives of any public assemblies, I feel warranted in advisiog your Board no longer to restrict public gatherings for religious worship or otherwise, except of childrea in Sabbath or day schools. These exceptions are recom- mended to be such because I need fuller information than I now possess regarding the successful vaccination of the children. This information I hope soon to have within my reach, and for my guidance in my

future recommendations regarding the opening of the schools. Lam,

Your obedient servant, RicHAaRD JoHNsON, Health Officer.

It was moved by Mr. Davy aud seconded by Mr. McLean :

Resolved, Thet the report of Dr. Johnson, Health Ofiicer, permitting public gatherings be adopted.

The motion was carried.

A letter wes read from Mrs. McArthur, stating that she would take $500 for two houses and lard oa Long Street, which were infected with smallpox, or the houses without land for $325.

It was moved by Mr. McLean and seconded by Mr, Horne :

Resolved, That the Executive Committee be reaquested—in conjwgetion with the Health Officer

to see that immediate steps are taken for the cleansing or destroying the buildings» recently occupied by the Thompson, Chilton and Began families, on Long Street,

It was moved by Mr. Kelly and second- ed by Mr. McLvan, and carried :

Resolved, That the Recorder be requested to draw up aresolution compelling persons having slaughter houses to have them removed outside the city limits, and that no person be allowed to keep a pig or pigs within the city. Alsoto compel those who have a tenement house to let to be sub-

ject to inspection of the Health Officer before being let.

The meeting then adjourned. THE SLANDER SUIT. The case of Owen McCarey, for slander,

jat the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court to-

day, was‘adjourned antil Wednesday. The charge preferred against Mr. McCarey is, that ‘fon the 16th of December, in the city of Charlottetown, he did slander J, T. Jen- kins, a surgeon-and physician, then in the practice of his profession, stating that the said J. T. Jenkins did murder his wife and child, and otherwise, in his charge of the Smallpox Hospital, of the said city, did permit and suffer the employes under his authority to grossly misbehave themselves, to the injury of the patients therein treated.” CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH,

Dr. Johnson on Saturday gave the fol- lowing certificate to Mr. Thos. Smith :--

“This certifies that I have this day inspected the house of Mr. Thos, Smith, Water Street, lp quarantined on account of the infection of small- pox, and that the work required to be done in order to disinfect and thoroughly cleanse the same, has been satisfactorily performed.”

RICHARD JOHNSON, M_ D., Health Officer.

LETTERS Fo THE KBITER, dia aaiiniiaion

Six,— Would you be good enough to give public notice, through THz Examiner, _ to the time the Assistant Land Com- missioners wiil be in this part of the country? Their advertisement in the Charlottetown Herald stated that they would be in Souris on the the 7th and 8th inst. They did not attend at that time, although many persons went to Souris on those days expecting to meet them. I write this, not for the purpose of finding fauit with the Comimissioners, as they no doubt had some reason for not attending, but merely to obtain public information in ® matter in which a good many persons are interested.

Yours truly, F. A. J. Lot 47, Dec. 19, 1885.

Six,—On Thursday last, Mr. Taylor, City Surveyor, informed me that he had a notice from the Mayor to the effect that citizens on Euston Street had lodged com- piaints against our moving the Free Church with spire attached. I noticed a paragraph in your paper of the 18th inst., worded exacuy the same as a portion of the notice served on City Surveyor Taylor, and which he served on me. Is Mayor Beer on your steff! as reporter, or if he sent that item wy did he not put his name to it?
