REMARKS.
In bis remarks accompanying the report, the

Compared with the previous week there is a do.
ruled increase m the number of deaths, although no
more than was to be expected from the small num'i.T
that died last week. The number is great for this no.
there nothing unusual in
iho cause of death, and the number J.s no greater than

Fiom the foregoing it will be seen that the dis
ease Is increasing; In the early part of the weekwe
hoped that it hatrbeon checked, hut lor the last two
<.:iys more hare been reported than for the other part
ol the ‘'reek. It will be remembered tliat I wassatisie
heil in my last report that there were cases not renort
A bomber of these have been discovered by the
dcatli of .the patients, and by the Sanitary
InsjK-ctors .while in the discharge of their oilicial
duties, in a ome cases it arose from ignorance, aud in
others tomeupidhv. The death that occurred at the
Small-Pox Hospital was a sailor who contracted the
disease elsewhere; One at No. 340 Hurlbot »t r /v»r
the child of an emigrant that had just arrive!
report wasmade of the case until a burial permit was
wanted. The case at No: 597 West Lake street was res
jmned, but only a few days before death. At No 774
Halsted street, the death of a man resulted
from the undertaker bringing the remains of a woman
t hat fcicd on Ruble street to his house, to which I call- 1
cd attention two weeks ago. The case at No. 1492 1
Frame avenue was that of a medical student. The
existence of the disease was not known to us. and it
was only in an indirect wav that the facts of
the case were developed. The undertaker, Hornlck
by name, having the certificate of the physician in his
IKJssesslon, surreptitiously had the remama taken out
o! the city to iulect others. For his part in the per
loitnance suit has been brought against him. The
affair is still under investigation, and suits may bo
brought against other parties beferc the end is reach
ed. Suits have alsoboen brought against three oar.
Ties for tearing down the cants and Hags, and against
ope for resisting a sanitary i»oliceman while in the
discharge of his duties in connection with placardin'*
a house. During the past week I have come in com
tact with as selfish and unprincipled individuals as
can possibly be imagined.
The work of vaccination and revaccination has been
pushed with all the vigor possible, and the Sanitary
Inspectors 1m vo been taxed to their utmost. This con
<htion does not alone obtain with regard to those ron.
nected with the board, but to all medical men thode
mand for vinis being entirely beyond any m&ans to
supply. Willi this course it is hoped that in a short
lime the spread of the disease mav be cheoke<L
Although the increase this week is very great, and
appeals directly to every one, whether tliJrare pro
twtedor not.westin are not in as bad a cornUii.m as
other cities. New ork lost by this disease, sincei-d
of January, 100 per month, while Philadelphia, for the
last two weeks, lost 430; wo hare only lost 0
The case at No. 123 Gurley street is a second attack
in eight years, andiavery interesting from that fact
showing that persons mar have the disease asecood
time, and this disease was contracted from the insane
patient to whom I called attention two weeks
Among the cases reported this week, twentr.ei-hf
wero mthe district south of Twelfth street on the
V ^i ncf seri>o r ?ioDsof tlie Division,
six on the North Side, and two on the South Side
Therrare now olghty-one cases in the citr, and fully
four-iifths are among the foreign population. J
REPORTS OF SANITARY INSPECTORS.
Sanitary Inspector Mannheimer, of the South
Division, reported that he had vaccinnated and
i cvaccinnatcd 132 persons during the week, the
majority successfully. There was in his district
at present one case of small-pox and two of
chicken-pox. He visited the Burr Industrial
College ou Third avenue and vaccinated all the
inmates.
Sanitary Inspector Reid, of the North Divis
i>:ou, reported that no nuisances had been
formally reported during the week. Small-pox
was gaininggrounds.seven caseshaving occurred
during the week. Three of these occurred
in infected houses, where the cxisUnee of the
disease was reported too late for the protective
influence of vaccination. The inmates of the
houses where there is small-pox have been vac
cinated, as have the neighbors. The barracks
were m good condition. The inmates of the Hal
ted street barracks had been vaccinated, and
virus from there will soon be available.
The following report of the West Side Sanitirv

The Hosjillal Steward, Mr. Luc. Las been iSSSj
I iniist aaaiD make comjdarnt ol tbo of
some physicians in failing or delaring to n-riurtcases
until the lapse of several davs. This negligence* do
serves tho severest action of Hie hoard. 1 would also
ask of the board a modification of the order by which
snmH-jmx notices are retained upon houses for the
apace of five davs.
The period of incubation of small pox is about four
teen days. It has happened in several instances that
a first otithre ik of small pox has occurred iu localities
from which the signals had been removed only two or
three days, and, in some cases, before the removal of
the signals, where 1 had purposely permitted them to
remain lieyond the specified time.
I would also respectfully ask lUit the beard Issue
stringent onion to the sanitary policemen to placa
small-pox signals m tho most conspicuous position? in
front of houses. Almost dally I found It necessary to
remove them from the rear of buildings, where they
had been entirely hidden from view, where, they can
be seen, and avail for their destined purpose, the pro
tection of the public.
There is one more point to which I would respect
fully call your attention. Much of the objection to
vaccination. ui>ou the part of the Irish especially, is
based upon the fact that they have been inoculate*! in
the old country. The protection thus afforded has
been frequently, within my own knowledge, demon
strated to be inefficient. The girl now lying at No. 123
Gurley street, for example. Is now passing through
her second attack of small-pox within eight years. I
have also had under observation a man 'severe'y
marked by an old attack, who died in a second attack.
The' whole number of casus in the district und-r my
charge is eighth-three; number during the past week
HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT.
The Sanitary Superintendent reported that he
had served during the past week 59 notices to
abate nuisances, and that 109 had been abated
There had been condemned 15 carcasses of muttou
and 9 Quarters of beef.
Dr. Johnson moved that the Sanitary Superin
tendent be instructed to have so much of tho
small-pox hospital rebuilt as may be necessary
for the use of the city during tho coming winter.
Agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Hoard, Dr. Ranch was elect
ed Health Ofticer for the remainder of the year, to
servo without additional compensation.
Tho board then adjourned.
CITY AFFAIRS IN BRIEF.
dir. Cheney’s Restoration.
The Protestant Churchman (Low Church) gives
the following with reference to the canon which
was passed by the recent General Convention, to
prepare the way for tho restoration of the minis
terial relations of the Rev. Mr. Cheney: “Very
early in tho session a canon was reported by the
Committee on Canons, by which Dr. Cheney
could have removed temporarily into another
diocese, and by tho consent of two Bishops, to b°
chosen by lot, be restored, upon no other condi
tion than a renewed subscription to tho promise
of conformity. Subsequently, howover, a canon
was proposed in the House of Bishops and carried
in both houses, which was understood to have
the sanction of the Bishop of Illinois, who ex
pressed himself as deeply interested in Dr. Che
ney’s restoration. It was urged that tills latter
canon made tho restoration much less dillicult
than the other, and in answer to tho objection that
it left the matter entirely in the hands of tho
Bishop who had instituted and carried on the
proceedings against Dr. Cheney, it was replied
that no other Bishop was equally interested in
the restoration, and by nono was it more ardently
desired.”

The Champion of the Bakes,
The iron propeller Philadelphia, of the Evans
Buflalo and Chicago line,is undoubtedly tho “boss”
*>f the lakes. The Bullalo Courier of tho sth says
of this noted steamer: The iron propeller Phila
delphia, Captain Lyman Hunt, of tho Evans line,
came in yesterday from Duluth carrying, as sho
has earned, the big broom at her top-mast head.
The propeller Philadelphia this season has made
seventeen trips to Chicago, and one to Duluth,
running 30,500 miles. She has averaged on her
seventeen Chicago trips 1,432 tons, her tonnage on
her Duluth trip being only OiG tons, the difference
being on account of the depth of water to which
the Duluth route is restricted.”
The Pacific Hotel.
Mr. Henry M. Smith, Secretary of the Pacific
Hotel Company, writes to tuc editor of The
Tribune as follows: “To prevent confusion of
names In hotel structures now being erected In
Chicago,-will you allow me to say that, early in
the inception of the enterprise undertaken bv
the Pacific Hotel Compaq*, this being their cor
porate name, the company proposed to name
their hotel alter Hon. William B. Ogden, one of
its largest stockholders. This was declined by
Mr. Ogden, who favored and urged the use of the
original name of tho company, and for some
months past, and in future, the Pacific Hotel has
been and will be known by that name, and ho
ready for occupancy in the winter of 1872.”

New Roofing.
Oar advertising columns last week contaluo d
an advertisement of N. G. Taylor, of Philadel
phia, in regard to a new roofing material, to
which, by mistake, wo failed, at the time, to call
the attention of onr readers. It consists of tin
in rolls of any desirable length to reach the en
tire length of the building, and of any width
i r S?r£ n l^J oTty ehcs Uy this arrangement
a single strip reaches from the highest to the
iowest part of the roof. The edges are turned up
L^.i. lf^} l iS lor^ ,uo J re and beiD S placed beside
each other, a cap is put ove*.* them and soldered
down, so as to make the root‘perfectly water
pi oof- In the old form of using tin plates, with
edges locked and soldered, whenever a brand
fioin a burning building fell on it the heat
•would molt the solder and curl
up the plates so as to sot tiro
to the boards ou which it rested. Tor this reason
many, perhaps most builders.' prefered the felt
roofing to tbe old-fashioned tin roofs. A mere
statement of the principles on which the new tin
rooting is constructed shows its great superiority
toapy application of tin for the purpose of roof
ing heretofore in use, and, so far as we can judge.
t-’uu now bo made for all kinds of
buildings. Thousands of them in Philadelphia
and other Eastern cities have been covered with
this new material, and thus far at least we learn
<hat it Las given entire satisfaction. We advise
our builders to communicate at once with
Messrs. Taylor, at Philadelphia, before covering
theirjbuildiDgs with the inflammable materials so
common before the tire. That lesson on that
subject ought to be a warning sufficient to last
for all time to come.
A First-Class Watch.
The United States Watch Company, of Marion,
New Jersey, Lave recently brought out a new
style of watch—stem-winding and nickel move
ment—which is already extensively in use in tho
West. It is a good, looking watch, but its great
recommendation is that it keeps true time, un
affected by tho variations of heat, cold, and
motion lhat are so disastrous to most watches.
They will bear comparislon with tho star time of
the Observatory, and the test shows that they do
not err many records in several months. A watch
that will stand this test is worth many times its
weight m pure gold. Giles, Bro. A Co., tho well,
known jewellers, and agents for these watches,
are doing business on oven a more extensive scale
than before tho lire. They have now three estab
lishments; viz., at 354 Wabash avenue; 247 West
Madison and 159 Twenty-second street, and have
already stocks ot jewelry, precious stones, stat
uary, time-keepers, etc., equal to the superb
assortment offered by them previous to the great
conflagration. Always among our most energetic
business Arms, they have been equally noted for
their superior taste, which has enabled them to
minister in no ordinary degree to the cultivation
of genuine refinement among our citizens.

“LADY WEKTWOBTH.”
Mr* Longfellow J Lost Poem.-
riem advanced sheets of the Atlantic for January.
LADY WENTWORTH.
One hundred-years ago, and something more,
lu Queen street. Portsmouth, at her tavern door,
Near as a pin and blooming us a rose.
Stood Mistress Stuvcrs in her furlmlowe.
Just us her cuckoo-clock was striking nine.
Above her head, resplendent on tho sign,
Tho portrait of tho Earl of Halifax,
In scarlet coat and periwig of flax,
Survey*d at leisure all her varied charms,
Her cop. her bodice, her white folded arms.
And half resolved, though he was past his pilme,
And rather damaged by tho lapse of time,
To fall down at her feet, and to declare
The passion that had driven him to despair.
For irom his lofty station he had seen
Btavrrs, her husband, dressed in bottle-greev,
Drive bis new Flying Stage-coach, four-m-hand,
Down the long lane and out into the land,
And knew that he was far upon the way
To Ipswich and to Boston on the Bay!
Just then the meditations of the Earl
Were interrupted by a little girl.
Barefooted, ragged, with neglected hair.
Eyes full of laughter, ueck and shoulders bare-
A thin slip of a girl, like a new moon,
Suroto be rounded into beauty soon;
A creature men would worship and adore,
Though now in mean habiliments she boro
A pail of water, dripping, through the street,
And bathing, as she went, her nuked feet.
It was a pretty picture, fall of grace
The slender form, th,e delicate, thin face;
The swaying motion, as she hurried by;
The shining feet, the laughter in her eye.
That o’er her face in ripples gleamed and glanced,
As in her pail the shifting sunbeam danced;
And with uncommon feelings of delight
The Earl of Halifax beheld the sight.
Not so Dame Slavers, for he heard her say
These words, or thought he did, as plain as day;
“O, Martha Hilton! Fie! how dare you go
About the town half-dressed, and looking so!”
At which the gypsy laughed and straight replied:
“No matter how I look: I yet shall rido
In my own chariot, ma’am." And ou the child
Tho Earl of Halifax benignly smiled.
As with her heavy burden alio passed ou,
Looked back, then turned tho corner, and was
gone.
What next, upon that memorable day,
Drew bis august attention was a gay
And brillaut equipage, that Hashed and spun,
The silver harness glittering hi the sun,
Outriders with red jackets, lithe and lank.
Pounding tho saddles as they rose and sank,
While all alone within the chariot sat
A portly person with three-cornered hat,
A crimson velvet coat, head high in air.
Gold-headed cane, and nicely powdered hair.
And diamond buckles sparkling at his knees,
Dignified, stately, florid, much at ease.
Onward the pageant swept, and as it passed
Fair Mistress Stavera courtcsied low and fast;
For this was Governor Wentworth, driving down
To Little Harbor, just beyond tho town.
Where his Great House stood looking out to sea—
A goodly place, where It was good to be.
It was a pleasant mansion, an abode
Nearand yet bidden from the great highroad.
Sequestered among trees, a noble pile,
Baronial and colonial in its style;
Gables and corner-windows everywhere,
And stacks of chimneys rising high in air—
Pandsuan pipes, on which nil winds that blew
Made mournful music the whole winter through.
Within, unwonted splendors met the eye—
Panels and floors of oak, and tapestry;
Carved chimnoy-picces, where on brazen dogs
Revelled and roared the Christmas lire of logs;
Boors opening into darkness unawares,
Mysterious passages and flights of stairs;
And on the walla, in heavy, gilded frames,
The ancestral Wentworths with Old-Scripture
names.
Such was the mansion where the great man
dwelt,
A widower and childless; and he felt
The loneliness, the uncongenial gloom
Tnat like a presence haunted every room;
For though not given to weakness, ho could feel
The pain of wounds that ache because they heal.
The years came and tho years wont—seven in
all—
And passed in cloud and sunshine o’er tho Ha U;
The dawns their splendor through its chambers
shed,
The sunsets flushed its western windows rod
The snow was on its roof, the wind, the rain
Its woodlands were in leaf and bare again
Moons waxed and waned, the lilacs bloomed and
died,
In the broad river ebbed and flowed tho tide,
Ships wentto sea, and ships came home from sea,
And the slow years sailed by and ceased to be.
And all these years had Martha Hilton served
In the Great House, not wholly unobserved;
By day, by night, the sllvi?r crescent grow.
Though hidden by clouds, her light still shinin:
through;
A maid of all work, whether coarse or fine,
A servant who made service seem divine!
Through her each room was fair to look upon.
The mirrors glistened and the brasses shone,
The very knocker on the outer door.
If she but passed, was brighter than before.
Andnow tbe ceaseless turning of the mill
Of Time, that never for an hour stands still.
Ground out the Governor’s sixtieth blHhday
Anti powdered his brown hair with silver-gray.
The robin, the forerunner of the spring,
The bluebird with his jocund carolling.
The restless swallows building in tbe caves,
The golden buttercups, the grass, the leaves,
The lilacs tossing in the winds of May-
All welcomed this majestic holiday!
Ho gave a splendid banquet, served on plate.
Such as became the Governor of the State.
Who represented England and the King.
And was magnificent in everything.
Ho Invited all ids friends and peers—
The Peppcrels, the Langdons, and the Boars.
The Srarhawks, the Penh allows, and the rest,
For why repeat the name of every guest I
Hut I must mention one, in hands and "own,
The rector there, the Reverend Arthur Brown
Of the Established Church; with smiling lace
He sat beside the Governor andsaid grace
And then the feast went on, as others do.
But ended as none other I o’er knew.
When they had drunk the King, wifli many a
cheer,
The Governor whispered in a servant's car,
ho disappeared, andpresently there stood
ithin the room, in perfect womanhood,
A maiden, modest and yet self-possessed.
Youthful and beautiful, and simply dressed.
Can this bo Martha Hiton I It must be
Yes, Martha Hilton, and no other she!
Dowered with the beauty of hertwentyyears,
How ladylike, bow queen-like alio appears;
The pale, thin crescent of the days gone by
Is Dian now in all her majesty!
X et 5. rc 9, a 0 11631 perceived that she was there.
L util the Governor, rising from his chair.
Played slightly with bis ruflles, then looked
down.
And said unto the Reverend Arthur Brown:
‘•This is my birthday, it shall likewise bo
My wedding-day; and you shall many me
Tbe listening guests were greatly mvstlficd,
Aone more so than the rector, who replied:
Marry you t es, that wore a pleasant task,
our Excellency; but to whom, I ask i”
Tbe Governor answered: To this lady hero;”
And beckoned Martha Hilton to draw near.
She came and.stood, all blushes, at his side.
The rector paused. The impatient Governor
cried:
‘‘This is the lady; do you hesitate 1
Then I command you as Chief Magistrate.”
Tbe rector read the service loud and clear:
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here,”
And so on to the end. At nis command,
On the fourth finger other fair left hand
The Governor placed the ring; and that was all*
Martha was Lady Wentworth of the Hall!

Sir: In your issue of the Gth you kindly
noticed our roofing, in your article on Building
Materials.” While wo thank you for so noticing
us, wc must ask you to correct the impression
t herein conveyed, that our roofing is high priced,
and, as you give prices of other roofs, to allow us
to say that our guaranteed work rates from sfl to
MO per square, while our temporary roofs arc as
low as any in the ma rket.
Your admission to an equality with other simi
lar roofs in fire-proof dualities is hardly justice
as we can satisfactorily show our roofing, in this
particular, superior to iron, tin. or any of the
other compositions.
Ey pubhsning this correction, you will verv
much oblige, yours respectfully,
