MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. Premises No. 1118 D street northwest were, on resolution submitted uy ibe Leal! . of ficer, condemned as a nuisance, and abate- ment ordered. The eoroner’s rt for the month of D- cember was submitted, showing that tha: effecr had been called upon to hold 13 in- quests in that time. A letter was received from Jno. 8. Crocke., warden of the District jail, calling the atten- lion of the board to the close proximity of the small pox hospital to the jail ana the —— of communicating the disease of small pox to the inmates of the jail. Re- ferred to the committee on legislation. Mr. Langston moved that the committee on legistation be authorized to attend to the duty of procuring the necessary annual ap- propriatiens from Congress for the Board of Health; adoptet. On motion the chair was admitted to that committee. Dr. Cox called the attention of the board to that portion of his annual report relating to % H THE SOCIAL EVIL, and stated that there appeared to exist a general misapprehension as to the position the Board of Health occupied on this ques- tion. He had recently been waited on by @ comm '!ttee of ladies and taken to task by them on their supposition that this board had committed itself to aciion necessary to carry ont the suggestions contained in said report. He bad received anonymous com- munications scoring him soundly for pre- fuming to alinde to this subject. A sermon he understood, had likewise been preached by a clergyman of this elty upon this sab- ject. in which this board had been rapped Without stint. He desired to say twat what was printed in his report was furnished merely as information: there being no recommendation made at «ll—the object being to show thet this subjcc, 's reesiving the attention of sanitarians .°nerally all over the civilized world, with tha view of checking the spread of the most loathsome and destructive disease to which the human family is constantly exposed. He cared nothing for these attacks upon himself, but he felt tt due to his associates and the public to State that the Board of Heaith had never even disenssed this subject at ali, nor had any official action been taken in rel ition thereto. The passage alluded to in the report ‘was a voluntary act of his own, for which he did not desire to screen himself. ‘the pub- = = under misapprehension as to the facts. SOMETHING TO KILL SMALL POX GERMS. A communication was received from Prof. Thomas Taylor, of the Department of Agri- culture, calling the attention of the Board of Fealth toa new composition of matter, (a +. mple of which accompanied the letter,) to be used in the disinfection of the clothing of persons afflicted with small pox. Theliquid consists of benzole, carbolic acid and alco- hol. The first named is the best known sol- vent of all ofly and degenerated fatty mat- ter, and the carbolic acid and alcohol have such an affinity for water that all waier held mechanically in spores or germs of vegeta- ble or animal matter will absorbed and the life of the germ destroyed. Prof. Taylor holds that the —— of the small pox disease are enveloped in degenerated fatty matter, and are in this way protected from destruc- tion, unless a selvent such as he poses is u The communication and liquid sam referred | ple were to the sanitary committee. Snyder Release Case. THE MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL OF GREEN. To-day. before Judge MacArthur, the case | of John Green, who, it will be recollected, | was on the 23d of December acquitted on the cbarge of ‘offering @ faise acknow| ment of bail,” was heard. On Saturday last the government filed a motion to set aside the | Verdict in the case and a @ new trial, and this motion was argued to-day. Gover- nor Wells, Hon. Jeremiah Wilson and H. A. Wells, jr., aj for the government, and Mr. W. A. & for the defendant. Mr. Wilson ed at considerable length that, although there were no authorities to be found In which cases precisely like this bad been decided, there were enough kin- dred authoriiieson the point that when the trial was illegal the accused was not put in pardy, and therefore a new trial could be anted. Mr. Cook, for the de‘endi™t. ¢!}imed_ that the defendant bad the nght to move & new tria!, but ot the government, and read {0 authorities. The ground of the motion was that Childs, a juror placed in the jary box by the goverpment, was incompetent, inas- much as he had been convicted of a felony. He urged that the ofience was a boyish freak and that the pardon of Go¢. Johnston in 1319 restored him to his full rights as a citizen. pReccrasinany shone THE THEATERS—National._The popular | comedy, Our Boys,” will be presented to- | night for the last time. “Perkyn Middie- | wick” is one of John Owens’ best efforts, and all who bave heretofore failed to see him in it shonid take advantage of the ‘tunity offered to-nigkt.

OUGHT TO BE AT THE CENTENNIAL SHow.—Tae ‘Mineral Bureau has received from Maj. H. C. Williams, of Vienna, Fatr- fax covnty, @ sample of Kaolia or procelian ~~ The mineral is in the mealy condition and nearly pure white in color, being fre fromiron. Dr. Antisell, while chief chemist or the United States Agricultural Depart- ment, having examined specimens of it, gave it his opinion that it would be of great value in forming @ gtaze for the higher class of por- celain ware. It exists in large quantities to the east of Vienna and within half a mile of the town, beds of varying thickness extend- ing along [the line of the Washington and Ohio railroad for nearly the eighth of a mile. The agricultural education of the people seems thug far to have caused this valuable material ® be overlooked, but it is hoped, that, with the general awakening to the ex- tent and importance of our mineral deposits, it may, ere long, be made productive. rn. J. R. SHERWOOD.—A telegram was received last night from Mr. Jessie R. Sher- wood by his wife stating that he would re- turn to this city on Sunday next. Itis said by the friends of Mr. 8. that the whole mat- terfhas been very much exaggerated, and that everything will be explained satisfac- torily upon bis return. Itis also that Mr. Sherwood had been obliged to resign his con- nection with the church of whieh behas been & member on account of the sale of liquors at his store, and that the fact preyed upon his mind ahd was the cause of his strange ac tion in leaving th city under the cireum- stances;that attended his departare.—C ist, CITY ITEMS.
