THAT OLD STONE MILL. Newport “Quiet ns the Step of a Courticr, Lonely as Life in a Lighthouse and Uninterest- ing as a Shooting Cracker the Day After the Fourth.” NEwrort, July 17, 1873, It is one of the characteristic slurs which the Saturday Review casts upon the watering place correspondent, that ke will insist upon being jolly and briliiant, No matter how depressing may bo the circumstances by which h¢ is surrounded; no matter how the season may fag, and the hotels languish, and the drives grow barren, anu the amusements pall, and the loiterers dwindle on the beach, your typical watering-place correspondent, says the above mentioned censor, always deems it incumbent upon himself to be amusing. And what ifhe does? The ambition is very laudable so long as the writer succeeds in carrying it out, and so long as he does so in the right direction. And it Must be owned that watering-piace life, in the main, whether in this cotintry or Europe, gener- ally affords sufficient opportunities for his purpose. For the last twenty years there has generally been something — interesting and pleasant to be said of most of the resorts of this kind, Whether you wandered amcng the splendid gambiing hells of Baden- Baden or the eccentric Swiss baths and the equally ‘unique ones in the slender valicys of the Pyrenees; ‘whether you lost yourself in the dolce sar niente of Lucca and Castellamare or visited any of the quaint little resorts scattered over England, or plunged into Téplitz, Heligoland or Ischl, or, finatly, Whether you contented+ yourself at home and Tesiricted yourself to Saratoga or Newport, there ‘Was always something to be seen and generally something to be written. But this year, so far as Newport is concerned, seems to be the exception, and it would be pleasant to those who have de- lightful memories of what this renowned old Watering place used to be to be able justly to ascribe its present failure in charms to cer- tain vague peculiarities of the season easier, perhaps, to feel than to analyze. Every hotel proprietor in the place admits that the present 1s, eo far, one of the dullest Beasons, if not the very dullest, of which his Memory bears record, The beating of your own heart and the breaking of the wavea are almost the only sounds you hear, excepting, perhaps, the Occasional roll of a carriage in front of the hotel and the staccato clang of the electric beil. There are no balls and no flashing toilets; no stunning equipages and very few dashing belles. The three principal hoteis of the place—the Ocean House, the Atlantic and Aquidnick—are not much more than half ful, The expectant visitor who has frantically telegraphed for rooms finds himself in much the sane situation as the gentleman who breathlessly rushed to secure a seat at the late Robert Houdin’s tarewell performance in Man- chester, The gentleman attacked the box ofiice furiously, purchased his ticket in @ transport, Bearcely took time to pocket the change, and, bursting past the astonished doorkeeper, scarcely hoping to be able to elbow his way to his seat, found himself in a vast audi- torium, occupied by an andience of two! Newport is not quite so bad ag this, but the one thing suggests the other. There has been so much coo! Weather that people have deferred their ocean visits to a later date than usual. Itis not necessary to argue, from tue paucity of the present season, that this pretty and celebrated litue watering place is in a state of decadence, That has been af- firmed of it so often without truth, that its friends cau afford to laugh at the slander now. But still, picture to yourseli the scene, and then say whether Or not it is particularly exhitarating. Ail watering- place life is, in essential characteristics, the same— breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper at much the same hours, and between them notning to do but to kill time in any manner deemed best, the ladies to sit on the pi as and eye each otver's dresses and read the la hovel, the gentlemen to repair to the fishing banks or the billiard room. Those who bathe meet together in general rendezvous at eleven, just in time to manutacture, between breeze and brine, splendid spirit and appetite for the next meal. But you naurally associate With aii this ideas of vivacity, motion, briliiancy and liveliness. You hearin imagination the voice Of society mingling with the thunder of the ocean, the rastie of fashion with the gigantic murmurs of the deep. Many of the shivering and lively phases of iuwanity you expect to sec, Set of and framed by a sort of rectangle of the elements, All that is to be said is that at Newport tuis fancy is not pac. tualized. There isa hush on all things. Even the Toar of tlie ocean seems scarcely a roar any longer. At appears to come out of the sea shell. instead of going into it, The colored driver who waits with hia wagon to drive you to the fishing ground looks Jugubrious, through jack of orders. He offers in- ducements of bass and tautog to you in vain, and drives with melancioly meekness to one hotel aiter the othor, standing shyiy off on the opposite side of the road, whence he casts reproachiul and despairiag giances at the hotel windows, mich after the manner of ap organist who has given his pennyworth of opera tune without receiving the penny. Ihe very waiters go about softly as if there was sometody dead in the next room. ‘Tne voice of the hotei cierk has @ pensive accent as he inquires the number of your room, sor which you have been paying $8 per roa and the very barber Who shaves you sharpens his razor with a deep- seated dejection, which sets your teeth on edge, though not calculated to give one to the instru- ment. ‘There is a juneral vacancy in the dining room. The unoccupied waiters, about one-hali the entire number, stand in melancholy ranks, looking As theugh their richest relatives had died and leit them nothing. It is easy to see that the watering pace Rachel is crying for her children, because hey refuse to come jorth in the Bre r numbe! You go down to breakfast nd, perhaps forty people seated at twent which woul accommodate about five time: many. Things are, perhaps, @ littie better at dinner und about the same at tea. But even at dinner there is that sensuous display of dress for which watering-place fashion and femininity have been, time out of mind, renowned, Where are those ravishing toilets that Worth might bave invented, and that che little troop of periodicals devoted tala monde describe with such technical NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 19,-1873—WITH SUPPLEMENT.

Most of the usual r sidents are down, and there are the vrdinary quotas from New York, Bos. tou, Providence and Puiladelphia, with almost as large u sprinkiing as commoniy from other cities. But these, though they may give some character W the place, uv uot lend it much ile, They serve on occasion to lend ciarm to the balls which might this seasou have graced the hotels, but have not.

You have, possibly, read in extracts from one or two provincial papers that “this season at New- port is alive with brilliancy and fashion and promi. ses torival any of its predecessors.” Whence do these rhetorical correspondents get their facts? Pernaps my word may not be worth a great deal but it is worth, at least, the price of a single copy of the HERALD, and any one who pays four cents for the purpose of seeing What the HkraLp says about Newport and the Newporters may have the of making up his mind as to thi hey have a re here called “Pt which is described by jocal tradition wildest and most interesting points in the vicinity of Newport.” I was toid that it was “a deep and whing chasm,” running back from the sea, and t it must have been produced by sone might; eaving far back in the world’s histor; that it was no one knew how deep, «and that it required et of nerves to approach the brink and look over, Now who would not, under these circumstances, have expected to be impressed? The Shah uimself would, notwithstanding all that Russia, Germany. Great Britain renee and America have done to gecomptisn that object. I spent nearly the whole of one delightful afternoon lately in looking forward to thi yeoeuse and nearly the rest of it in driving to it. People asked me togo into bathe (I believe that after twelve | noon, for an hour or #0, is devoted to nudity and masculinity), but I told them no, that I had an en- Sagemens not even mentioning my destination and purpose, so anxious was | to enjoy the dread- iu} sensation atone. As my driver neared the spot and pointed out the locatity visions of ail the must overwhelming aud stupendous spectacles nature affords flashed before me im the most in- congraous combinations, I topped grandeur on grandeur im order that 1 might fore taste in imagination, I fancied the aurora borealis in the Great Cave of Kentucky, oy Niagara sheeted with tire, or the storm described by Victor Hugo in “fhe oilers of the Sea” taking piace on one of the great steppes of Asia, or an earthquake and whirlwind simulianeourly experienced withmn the crater oi Mount Vesuvius. When, towards the close of @ bright afternoon, my driver stopped his horse besiae a railtence and offered to show me the way Idetermined to go alone, A moment's reflection, however, convinced me that it would not besale. I had read of persons of vivid imagi- nation hurting themselves, through some obscure impulse, [rom the tops of Hghthouses whence they were looking, Suppose that in one rash moment, inflamed by the terrors of Purgatory,” 1 should huri mysell from the brink aud find an early grave (if t happened to reach the bottom in time) in the seething dood below! So I took the driver as @ matter of safety, merely, and sald to myself that I would give tue honest fellow fifty cents if he brought me back alive, Some may think Irate my Iie dear. We walked on for atew minutes, J in silence, the guide guyly chatting. Some peopie would chat gayly on the brink of the Styx, and crack a joke with the wie boatman himself, Presently he stopped be- fore a gully in the rocks, which commauded a fine view of the sea. 1 thought the young man was tired and waited a few moments with the patience which 18 characteristic Of men, ‘Then, as the aiter- noon was waniny, | proposed going on, “Pon’t you want to see ‘Purgatory ?’ ” said he, “Certalnly,’? said J, “let's make haste,” and began pushing rapidly forward, top a bit,” sald he; “I thought you wanted to sce eh Steak fig “Certalnly I do, my dear fellow,” I exclaimed, “That's what we’re zoing alter, isn’t it?” “Well, this i8 ‘’urgatory,’” said my guide, and pointed’down the gully in'the rocks, 1 looked down the guliy, put my hands in my OCKkcls and stared the guide steadily in the iace, thought he was fooling me, But no! honesty was written on his counteuance, and | had not even the miserable satisfaction of thinking he had wished to play me a joke. I walked up to the edge aud looked in; 1 tried to shudder, but iy hair re- fused to rise, my flesh tocreep, The murrow in my bones was as casy and comfortable as though I were swallowing turtle soup. 1 peered steadily over the edge and tried to manufacture that sick- hess of the stomach and swirl or the brain Which precipices judiciously administered are sald to promote. It was of no use, the irenzy wouldn't come. Such a wholesale fraud upon a precipice 1 never saw belore, and bope never to ste again, lt was beneath the contempt of the writer of a dime novel. li Sylvanus Cobb or Ned buntine shoud attempt to introduce such a pitiful precipice us this into one of his works his reputation would be gone forever.

Among the other institutions of Newport ought to be mentioned the Vid Stone Mill, upon whicn I was disposed to look with venerat.on, until my faiti in human nature tn general and nature at Newport in particular was shaken in the touching manner above narrated. It stands upon a large plot of green directly in front of the AUantic louse, and may be taken for anything you wish to imagine it to be. If the band played in it morning and evening you would say it made & good music house, and uf summebody set up a soda water toun- tain there you would call that a capital idea, At y it furnishes every visitor wno dabbles in ing to Speculate avout, A good year's ago the Sucicty of Danish Antiquaries inany at Copenhagen de vided that it was built by Norse- \ men in the twelitn century, I have exanined all the records that have come in my way, and find myself in a long tane that seems to have no turning, or rather which turns again into itself and leads one over the eo ground ad inginitum, Let us be thankful to who- ever built the Old Stone Mili, and let us be equatly thanktul to those who didn’t pullitdown., What should we do wituout these architectural mum- come to us ‘rom out oi a dead and forgotten nye nd speaking to us with no intelligible lan- guager If there ig anything for which 4 {eel par- ticularly ovliged to Fatier Tune itis tor surround. ing the ni: penth century with so many relics which no one kneWs anything about and which eo taieay antiquari3a8 shrewdly forbear utter- ng their opinions of ioy war they should be mis- taken and be heid in scorn at’ contumely, One of the advantages of being a monumentis that the older you grow the more interesting you become and the more people come to look at you.

Here you find steady re- spectability and people of hereditary wealth and good family. Waether peuple come here to bathe, or drive, of fish, or sail, or to peramoulate the plazzas aud laten to the music 1 will not pretend to say. It is easy to specify what they go to Sara- toga and Long Branch for. There the show and the shoddy ure too often hand in hand, For solemn elegance and comiorta decorum give me Newport, Some peopie, however, prefer ‘old port. I do not grudge them their tastes. If you want to look at antiquities there are e Jewish syna- gogue, Which was built in 17 the Jewish ceme- | tery, Which began to be occupied about the sam date; the Redwood Library, incorporated in 17: the State House, built in 1742; Trinity church, where bishop Berkeley preached in 1729, and Ver hon House, where Washington almost lived, being entertained there by the Count de Rochambeau. What a pity Washington could'nt have died in as many houses as he lived in, Only that thing can’t be done.

WATERING PLACE NOTES. “The prospect of the season at Mount Mansfield indicates more visitors than ever before,” says correspondent, Tue view from it 1a fascinating. Luzerne, on the Adirondack Railroad, twenty- five miles from Saratoga, is growing in popularity. family, of Brooklyn, and Moses H, Grinnell and niece, of New York, and Joun V. L. Pruyn, of Albany, are among the guests. The Kearsarge House, South Conway, N.

Among the guesta of the Alleghany House are Generals Johnston and Hood, Hon. J. W. Johnston and Governor Walker, Suinmer travel is setting towards the Glen Onoko, in the Lehigh Valley, where the legend saya that Onoko, the Indian warrior— He who slew the Great Bear, slew the Great Bear of the Mountain— perished with bis lovely bride Wenonah. Among the points of interest are ‘The Fat Man’s Misery,’’ Onoka Falls, Ciameieon Falls, the “Heart of the Glen,” Moss Cascade and the Sceptre Cascade. Mauch Chunk is the railway point of debarkation. An exchange says there is a pass in the Catskill Mountains, between Shandaken Centre and West- kiil, Ulster county, N. Y,, where snow and Ice can be found at all seasons of the year. General Joseph E, Johnston was in Lynchburg, Va., on Saturday last week. Anna E, Dickiuson is at Swampscott, Mass. Green Lake, the Lake George of Wisconsin, isa popular resort for Western pleasure seekers. Two passenger trains daily from Saratoga to the Adirondacks, The Ariington, at Saratoga, overflowed Tuesday evening, and late guests skirmished about Sara- toga for places to lay their heads. Dr. Thompson, of this city, is at the Grand Union, Saratoga, rernando Wood and family are at their Saratoga cottage. Dr. Simpson Oraig and Rev. I. Sidney, of England, are sampling Saratoga water at the Grand Union. Bishop Wood, of Philadelphia, is at Congress Hall, Saratoga, At the Grand Union Hotel Ball, Saratoga, on Wednesday evening, Miss Agnes White, Miss Minnie Slade, Miss Anna Scribner, Mise Batley, Mrs. Julia A. Holmes, Mrs. Childs and Miss Ada Brooks, of New York, were among the elegantly toileted ladies. STREET CAR OUiRAGES, Car Conductors and Change. To THE Epitor oF THE HERALD:— Aliow me to call your attention to what I call an imposition on the public. I came up town the other day on acar of the City Hall, Broadway and University Place line. Aiter I had entered tie car T found that I had no smaller change than a $5 Dill; but I found an English sixpence in my pocket, which I gave to the couductor, He handed me back one cent. I told himI would not give him sixpence, English, for six cents; that it was at least worth twelve cents. He handed it back to me, I then gave him a $6 bill. He told me I would have to get out of the car to change it, as he couldn’r, I said to him I would not get ou‘ to change the bill, that it was his place to change the bill, He next pulled the strap and threatened to put me off the car. He changed his mind and put my $5 bill in his pocket, When I was getting out at Fourth street, 1 demanded my change $4 95.

Nov, Mr. Editor, do you not think that superintendeats or mauagers should be more circumspect when employing men for conductors, & position where civility and polieness are absolutely necessary? I am nineteen years In business in this city andl never met a man so unfit for the position he now holus ag the above conductor, No. 65. ROBERT P, LEONARD, Full Fares for Children. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— _ Similar complaints may be made by others than the ‘Lady of the Nineteenth Ward” of conductors’ extra charges. Last week, in one of the Astoria vars, 1 witnessed an instance. A young man of seventeen or eighteen years of age got on at the Eye Infirmary (Eleventh street, 1 think), kading by the hand a little sister of four or five years, who had been operated on at the Infirmary, Her little form attracted sympathy, for we knew that bencath that thick blue veil and gozgles there was suifer- ing. The lituie suiterer’s baby hands, as they lay quetiy in her lap, told any ove of her imfantile years; but the conductor exacted full jare for her, In reply to a remonstrating question of a gentle- man on the opposite seat the brother replied that it was the first time he had ever been asked full fare for her. Query—Did the company get that fare? Jf they did. was it a just one? ANOTHER LADY OF THE NINETEENTH WARD, The Rights of Children in Cars. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— ‘The letter of the car conductor in his own de- fence in your issue of this date ruises a subject upon which I and probably many more of your readers would like some information. Have rail- road companies a right to demand full fare for children under twelve years of age occupying seats or else eject them from their seats in Case Oo! re- fusal to pay full fare? Isee this done daily. It ms to me unjust, I know that might makes wit, Qnd that the public have no rights tuat com- pan are bound to respect. Still, if they have not the legal ower let us one and all resist tt, I have never heara this question answered, ba een PATERFANILIAS, A Word for the Dri verse To THe Epirok or THE HERATD:— Knowing that your columns are a!ways open for the benetit of the people and that you are ever ready to interest yourseif jor the well being of the city, I feel no hesitation in thus laying before you and your readers a complaint which I feel justified in making. Iam in the habit of traveliing to and from my place of business on the Broadway cars, morning and evening. It is for the interest of the company owning these cars aud for the citizens who ride lo them that the best possible time should be made, - I believe that all that can be done to accomplish this is adopted by the company; but the drivers have a great deal to contend against, and have to Pou up with the most abominabie insults and hin- rances from those drivers of teams and express carts Who purposely delay tiem, were tiils the case only now and then TI would make no complaint, though I might be justified in so doing; but it is repeatedly dove. This evening such a flagrant tusult was oifered by one of West- cols express Wagons, between Thirty-third and ‘Thirty-ourth sureets, to the car | was on that I de- termined it should not pass unnoticed, There were two menon the wagou who seemed bent upon keeping in tne Way of the car and insulung the driver, and, thougn the whistle was blown a number of times and calls were made, they only Jooked rouad, laughed and persevered in their abominable insults. This was witnessed by several both on and off the car. and even by that helpless, indifferent set of giants who arein their apathy and laziness an imposition on the public under the name of police. Could 1 have obtained the names of Westcott’s men I should have been glad to have exposed them in your columns for the public contempt they so well merit. I write not only on benail of the much-abused car drivers and conductors, but on behaifof those people who have to adopt a comparatively siow method of journeying up and and down town until ti are blessed with the much-needed “rapid transit.” Suck men as the arivers of the Westcott wagon, to which I have made reference, shouid be voted a public nuisance, andl trust you will bring about, through your voice and influence, some method which snali put a stop te such pests as these men and others who would thus insult their fellow-citizens. It is not the complaint of one only, but of many, and all know you are ever ready to institute remedies tor evils and piace above everything that which is pro bono publico, FRANK A. BROWN, MADISON AVENUE, July 15, 1873. Another Car Outra; To THe EDITOR oF THE HERALD:— Your attention is called to the following:—Car No, 13 of the Third Avenue line started for up town from opposite the Sun office yesterday (Monday) afternoon, about four o'clock. It had proceeded a short distance when a blear-eyed, loathsome sot, with a cigar in his mouth, was helped toa seat by @ companion and the conductor of the car. Shortly afterwards a respectable old woman got tp, when the offensive individual referred to arose, threw his arms around her neck, kissed her and forced her into the seat he had occupied. On being remonstrated with by one of the pas- sengers he addressing the various female, in blasphemous nd den | otherwise to act ina di: erly manver, until riving up town, one of the passengers, feeling the degradation of longer submitting, took him by the arm and led out of the car. It {s perha’ needless to say to those im the habit of riding in the Third Avenue cars tat the conductor was ire- quently appealed to, but that these annoyances seemed to him rather in the light of a joke than outrage upon those Who Were entitled to his tection, VERITA: JULY 15, 1873, THE COURTS. Areport was published yesterday to the effect that Platt & Boyd had been sued by the govern- ment to recover $300,000 for alieged irregularities in the importation of glassware. Mr. Bliss, the United States District Attorney, says that this report is not true, but adds that an investigation in reterence to the matter might, without his knowledge, have been commenced at the Custom House, He is not aware of any such investiga tion, Judge Blatchford, of the United States District Court, left town last evening for Newport, k. L, having Mnished all the busincas that was sulmitted to him during the seasions of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last. In the United States District Court Judge Blatch- ford has decided that under a new act of Congress informers in internal revenge cases have no legal claim to fixed moleties from the proceeds of the sale of seized goods. SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, Another Application for Bail in the Jacob Young Homicide. Before Judge Daniels, Application was made yesterday to admit to bail Michael Buckley, one of the parties indicted for the murder of Jacob Young, on last St. Patrick’s Day, in Harlem. Colonel J. B, Fellows, who made the application, urged that the accused had nothing to do with the murder, and that he could not be con- victed, Judge Daniels said that the counsel had fatled to make as strong a case in favor of the ac- cused as counsel for McDonnald, and he must deny the application, The evidence befure the Coroner was not very conclusive against him, but that taken before the Grand Jury was more pointed and decisive, and, again, it was the opinion of the Dis- trict Attorney that the evidence was ample to se- cure @ conviction.

THE GOLD QUESTION. Are the Daily Reports of the Secretary of the Treasury Strictly Correct New Yor, July 18, 1873, To THE EDITOR OF THE HFRALD:— For over twenty years I have been @ constant reader of the HeRaLD, regarding it always 8 a reliable source of information on all subjects o pubile interest, auiong which none has attracted more serious and general attention than those which have recently ap red in its editorial and fluancial columns relating to the gold reserve in the United States Treasury as compared with its outstanding obligations. This question comes nearer home to the business interests and welfare of the American peopie than any other which can now occupy their attention; for upon it depends the future purchasing power of the entire currency of the country, on which nearly all contracts are based, With these impressions firmly fixed on my mind, imagine my surprise on reading in one of the morn- jog Journais of this date a severe, and, to my mind, impertinent criticism on the efforts vow being made to obtain information on this all important subject. ‘The author of the article above alluded to, after sneering at ali who differ with him in his (appa- Tent) bellet in the statements of the Secretury of the Treasury, goes on to insult the intelligence of | the American people by flaunting the figures daily put forth that tn are $80,000,000 of gold coin in the ‘Treasury, against which the only claims are the outstanding certificates, amounting to $43,000,000, eudeavoring thereby to convey the impression that the government is the actual owner of $37,000,000 of coin. Now, Mr. Edson, L desire to cali attention to the statement of the Secretary ,as published on the 1st day of May, togecter with his known receipts and expen- ditures irom that time until the present, and then to invite your sftention to the peculiur phase of oficial character that can put lorward such a Statement be.ore our toe confiding American peo; A ording to the ist of May statement there was Interest due and unpaid Tnterest due on tuat da: Outstanding coin certilcates.

STOPPING THE STENCH, The Uptown Offal Sheds Ordered To Be Pulled Down and Destroyed by Combustion, WAR ON VENDERS. The Booths in the Vicinity of Washington Market To Be Swept Away. At a mecting of the Board of Health held yester- day afternoon reports were received to the effect thet in Fifth street, between Second and Third avenues, the street pavement was in places sunken, and at these points the water collects to such ap extent as tobe offensive to the persons living in the vicimity. In front of 429 Fifth street there was a hole in the pavement, in which the Water stagnates and becomes very offensive. The culvert at the southwest cerner of Ninth street and Third avenue, and also the culvert at the south- east corner of East Houston and Suffolk streets were stopped, so that water from the gutters could not escape into the sewer. A report was received upon the condition of West Sixty-eighth strect, near Twelfth avenue, which 18 now being filled up according to contract. This filling in of the street, the inspector said in his report, has so far advanced as to be within forty 1eet of the culvert, “If the work is permitted to go on,” he adds, ‘the result will be the formation of one of the most filthy pools in the city, caused by the blocking up of the culvert and the consequent retention of water contamt- nated by closet filth and other impurities. Already two filthy pools exist there~one on the north side and one on the south side of West Sixty-eighth street, east of Twelfth avenue—and have probably received little attention, because of their close proximity to the river and tneir free connection with it through the culvert about to be blocked. ‘The pool on the south side of West Sixty-eighth street,” the report goes on to say, “has two filthy sources—one consists of an old drain that seems to take its rise in the block bounded by Ninth avenue and the Boulevard, Sixty-first and Bixty-second streets, then pursuing a northweet. erly course runs in a diagonal direction through several blocks, receiving on its way the waste water of several houses and the liquid filth of many closets before reacting the pool. Both pools are about thirty-eight feet below the surface of Sixty- eighth street, as now being filled, and about twenty feet below the level of the railrcad, The pool on the south side of Sixty-eighth street is nearly two- thirds of a block in extent, aud has a@ black, inky color, and is very offensive.” Dr, A. B. Judson re- ported Exchange alley in a filthy condi- tion; the street pavement in Roosevelt street, between Water and Cherry, where a quantity of stagnant water has collected, and the northwest corner of One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street and Third avenue. Complaints were recetved that the pavement on the northeast corner of Second avenue and Twenty first street, East Twenty-fourth street in front of No. 241, and a portion of Firat street in front of Nos. 15 und 17 were in a condition dangerous to health. The following communica- tion was received and placed on file:— C.F. Cuaxpuen, Esq., President Board of Health — Su have the hhoilor to make the following report pence toanorder received at 5:0 P, M.
