Teport recommended the appointment of a com- ittee to wait on the Governor and ask the ap- pointment of a resident physician at the hos- petal, and also that the hospital be placed ander control of the board. Consideration of this sub- ject was postponed. A letter was received trom William E. Clark, asking that there be no interference with his hog killing business on the square between Ls and 2d streets east and £ ant! F streets north. Notice to remove the business had been given, and the time was extendes. to one week by the board,-and the whole subject referred to the senitary committee. A letter from Wm. E.

A resolution was adopted that a spectal com- mittee, consisting of the health officer and Mr Marbury, be appointed to inspect the building near the emall-pox hospital, owned by Sawyer Hobbs, and repeat the probable cost of retitting and repairing tie same, including the fitting up ot a room for fumigating the ambulances and employes in the emal!-pox service; accommo- dations for employes when not on’ daty; also, stable accommodations for the ambulances, horses, &c.

The Cold We. Storm. The extreme cold weather of the early part of the week has been followed by a snow storm, the duration and severity of which is somewhat unusual for this latitade during Christmas week. This is the first snow stormof the season for Washingten, although snow has fallen in considerable quantities on ail sides of us, and for several weeks past the people of the north- ern and eastcrn states nave enjoyed good sleigh- ing. The snow commenced falling yesterday morning on the frozen ete ee) continued through the night with hail and sleet, and was still falling at noon to-dsy. The storm inter- feres considerably with business, and causes a total suspension of work in many Instances. The street cars have carried fall loads all days, an’ although the borse power has been double by two extra animals to each car,locomotion of this kind is difficult, as the snow falls her and the Saow Coowes if he was satisfied.

He obtruded himself on board for their temporary use, were out to-day, turn- ing the storm to good account, and the merry Jingle of their bells was about the only pleasing feature of thestorm. Should the snow continue to fall uninterruptedly until gop itis doubtful whether the street cars will beable to ran ar all, in which case pedestrians will have to trot eut their enow shoes, and make the beat of the situation. The Potomac is tightly frozen trom shore to shore for many miles down, and many pedestrians are crossing on the ice here and at Alexandria. Of course all navigation is ont of the question, and it looks as if this would con- tinue to be the case for some time to come. ‘The early trains on the Baltimore and Ohio and Baltimore and Potomac roads were bohind time in arriving this morning, owing to drifts in some of the cuts, but all are now arriving on tme. The New York train, das about 6% o'clock, was delayed in Baltimore, and arrived shout 9\ o'clock. The Orange and Alexandria train, due here at 6 55, to-day was snow-bouni below Gordonsville, but left that point at 10 a’clock thix morning, and is expected to atrive this afternoon. ——. ss SMALL-Pox—Cases Reported Sines Tursday The following cases have been reported to the Leaith officer of the board of health since our last report on Tuesday: Two cases at 432 M street northwest; one 722 F street southwest; one North Carolina avenue, between 2d and 3d streets southeast; one 411 B street southeast; Suspicious person; and after an altercation during which he called the captdin ail the worst names he could, he caught up heavy log of wood, used as a fender, and ttung it at Hooper, just gracing his head; when the latter fired; the istoi shot taking effect in Tom's thigh. ooper was arrested. ch: with assanit and battery with intent to and is now under 3500 bonds to apswer the grand jury. ‘The wound did not prove of a very serious na- ture, and Tom s90n recovered to Tange about agaic.
