Before Judge Duffy, A BRUTAL HUSBAND. John Nannery, of No. 89 South Fiith avenue, was arraigned on the complaint of Annie Lellie for cruelly and inhumanly beating his wife, Mrs. Lellie testitled that she heard Mrs. Naunery scream early in the even- ing and went into her room. Mrs. Nannery was lying on the floor, the blood flowing from her head and her husband bending over her with a poker near him; she did not see him pour oi! over his wife, but later found her suffering from the effects of burns, The account of tne assaalt was published in full in floater gi Heravp. The prisoner was held to await the result of his wife’s injuries. ‘THE CHRISTMAS DAY RETURNS. The total number of prisoners before Judge Duffy yesterday was 90, of which the Kighth precinct tur- nished 22; the Ninth, 4; the Fifteenth, 16; the Twen- tieth, 13, and the Twenty-ninth, 17, The others were brought direct to court. Nearly all were charged with intoxication. Their piea was “Christmas,” and the Judge dealt lenientiy with them, A NEGRO THIEF.

The razor entered his face, causing a severe wound. With the assistance of other parties in the house the would-be murderer was over- powered and banded over to the police, Judge Duffy held the prisoner to answer. ESSEX MARKET POLICE COURT. Before Judge Kasmire. AN ALDERMANIC CLERK IN TROUBLE. On December 8 Patrick MeGuire, of No. 250 East | Thirtieth street, an assistant to the Board of Aldermen, charged Michael Culligan, of No, 4744 First street, and Patrick Halloran with stealing $270 from him, The case came before Judge Murray, at the Yorkville Police | Court. The defence proved that McGuire, while intoxi- cated, went into a saloon at the corner of Second ave- | nue and Thirty second street and said he “was a Tain- many man and could lick any anti-Tammany man in the city.” About a dozen anti-Tammany men were in the store, and, as McGuire got more imsulting, thev put him into the street, testified that po robbery had iaken place and the ac- cubed were discharged.

HOW TO OVERCOME IT. Suggestions for Making New York a Healthy City. To Tax Eprror or Tak HeRaLp:— There would little benefit accrue from the recital of impoverishment and dobility, discomfort and ex- haustion, sufferings and deaths, were there not some ap- paren: means of relief and cure for the present andof Prevention in the future, Fortunately both are possible, Miasm is like the shadowy giants of the immortal John Bunyan, that flee before the firm step of advancing civilization, even if, as in Rome, it again threatens the retreating. Miagm 1s an outrage anda disgrace, whether in Rome or in New York to-day, as in the form of yellow fever tt wasin New Orleans tll the besom of Butler swept it away forever—if the city is still kept clean, In the present paper, which will endeavor to offer some hints toward prevention and cure in the fature, the same order will be observed as in the proceding series of papers, and the consideration of private and individual duties will follow the discussion upon our civie and general prophylactica. The public duties are delegated to several bodies of officers, bureaus or commissioners, as may be, Among these most prominent should be the Board of Health. This Board is clothed with a wonderful power that can spend money without limit; that can close a building, shut up a street, enter a man’s dwelling place, take him from his bed with no notice, pull its walls down, rip up its tloors, tncideatally destroying property, business, and spreading gloom and panic not only throughout its especial domains, but seriously affecting the health, happiness and monetary interests of the entire continent, What have they done, what do they do? If wo should judge their actions by their own state- ments it is little enough, The Board is cumbrous with many members and with large pay—none too large, however, if they did anything for it. What does their own “report for 1872,’ the last published, show? It would take a microscopist to discover. It gives a series of tables which are valueless, It rehearses tho stereotyped ideus of ventilation and garbage and sewers, and the result is nothing practical, nothing advanced, nothing that has not been better said before, Com- pare it with the “reports of the State Board of Health for Massachusetts ;’’ but as auy comparison is impos- sible, place them side by side, The pertinency of this juxtaposition may seem more apparent when it is re- membered that the population of New York city, in 1872, was estimated at 1,000,000, and that of the entire State of Magsachusetts at but 1,541,542, The report, with slight changes of figures, would answer for New York city for any number of years, The Massachusetts report isa volume pregnant with facts, teeming with medical lore; not only fully up to the times tn hygienic knowledge, but it leads the van with fresh facts, profound deductions and wide-sweeping ob- servations, Take the titles of a few articles im the last two numbers:—‘Sewerage—Sewage—The Pollu- tion of Streams—The Water Supply of Towns;” “The Food of the People of Massachusevts;” ‘The Value of Health to the State; ‘Our Meat Supply and Public Health,” “The Ventilation of Railroad Cars;” ‘Crema- tion and Burial—Au Examination of Their Relative Advantages. ”” Into these articles and such as these are condensed the verbiage, figures and fancies of the many crude writers whose reports lumber up the pages of our report, It would not be rash to say that the ‘medical public opiuion on certain questions propounded by the State Board of Health on some of the causes or antecedents of consumption” contains more original ideas and views of more actual value than cag be found in all the united reports of New York city since the establish- ment of the Board of Health. Now, why is this? Simply because the New York Board ‘of Health is a political reward, taken for its pay, while the Massacnusetis Board is @ position of honor, given to men eminent in science, imbued with profes- sional ardor, and held, if not for all time, on good be- hayior, The New York appointee says:—“It is $5,000 per annum, and Ugt @ grad two hours a day.” Butthe importance of the place demands something more than routine, The present Board of Health is no improve- ment upon the old City Inspector—but costlier. Then we had some one responsible; now tne complaints of an entire city are ulered in vain, for they are distrib- uted and divided among four, h of whom says, “It was the other one’s business, ‘Let us imagine the Board of Health so paid that they deem this their business, and not a temporary adjanct and sinecure; we will invite the Croton Water Board to join us, and together we will visit the great aque- | dnct and trace it curough to the primal springs. We shall find the reservoirs iuli of fish, We will recognize | that a few of the sucker and carp variety are beneficial, for they eat up the green. slime, moss and aqueous vegetation. We will bave each reservoir thoroughly cleaned every season after being | completely emptied; we will have all the superfluous fisn caught and killed and sent to the public institu. | tions for the food of the inmates. Eels, turtles and all | carbivoreus fish, perch and catfish should be entirely | eradicated yearly, for they serve no good in cleansing it {rom impurities and only ‘make dirt” by killing other fish. With a greatly diminished fish culture in our reservoirs a great source of impurities will be swept away. The seagulls and crows spoken of in a | previous paper, baying then no eause for coming, will cease wo add their nauseous defilements, Coming to the reserve pond reservoirs, we would completely encircle them with a fence, keeping out all cattle, At times of very lew water and, if possible, by | the occasional temporary draining of them, we would at least avnually scrape away all sticks, dead leave: ed iern, grasses, lichen, reeds. This at least will ent the cold infusious which ure our city beverage veral months every year, sext comes the great question of the day, not of New York only but of the world, the prevention of the pollu. tion of its streams and ponds of fresh water. We shall try to do something for the present day, and to have @ regard for futuredays, When the Croton River was first dammed for our city life very few lived on its banks; farm houses andcattle yards were infrequent. To-day villages are located on its banks and its tribu- | | taries, and their sewage, their waste, eventually | | empty into it, The Board of Health should see to it that ‘the entrance of any drain or sewer or gutter should be prevented, that no barn drains or yards should be located on its banks. It may be necessary for that end to parchase a belt of land of suitable widtn | ail around each pond and on every river bank; thase | strips of territory would act as a filter for the purifiea- ton of all the water which might penetrate through it from the adjacent county. With thie {ringe of land | adorned with shade trees, the bappiness as well as the ralubrity of the community adjoining would be sub- served. Furthermore, they would prevent the drying up of the streams and springy land adjoining, protect the banks from being washed away by the winds and waves, and also act 4s do all woodlands and forests by atiracting motsture to the locality and eonsequent showers of rain, The cleansing of these ponds during the low water of summer need not be of any great cost, inasmuch as the compost material removed would be very valuable for agricuitural purposes, But cost what it may it should be done most effectually after every yearly leaf fall. In order to control the smaller brooks and feeders let the Bourd of Health memoralize the Legislature in conformity with the statements made in the Massa- chusetts Report for 1873, from which we copy a few | paragraphs :— uy GREAT PONDS ARK roniic” PROPERTY. By a wise provision of our forefathers the great of Massachusetts are, with very few excepuona, public, and not private property, . - 3 “Great ponds, containing not more than ten acres, were, by the colony ordinance, made public, to be in for public use—the boundary on @ natural tending only to low water mark, ‘They are, indeed, possessions of great value, capable of being made Ww supply most of our cities and wwus | with the means of promoting temperance and health, of giving them an abundance of the great estentiais of comfort and convenience, and of encouraging every form of useful industry. “But their value in the future depends upon the eare | which is taken to protect them from pollution.

It would require but the substitution of a few names of places to make these paragraphs and many others equally applicable to the city apd State of New York.

Over and over ain Budd speaks of “werms,”’ but it might be imagined that he used the word figuratively. Those who knew him, however, were well aware thut thts was not the case: and in the early part of the present volume, after describing the calamities incident to typhoid fever, he remarks >—"It is r every sink, into the ow oad "does rm theos humiliating that isities sien as these should be coutingent on the powers of an agent so low in the seule of being that the mildew which ings on decaying wood mast be con. sidered high in comparison.” Foar or five years ago 1 outsider, ventured upon this ground of ry ft involved no knowledge of medi Ff @ capacity to wetgh evidence ; epidemic diseases: am naeenes Appeared. tom athe BH of duup, 1874, 1 ventured to expruss us:—" Wit! thelr tehpaed viruses you may plant typhoid fever, scarlatina or al}pox. ‘What are the crops that ariso trom this huasb: ? surely as @ thistle rises from a thistle seed, as surely as the tig comes from the fig, the grape from the grape, and the thorn from the thorn, so surely does the typhoid virus tuerease and muitiply into typhoid fever, the scariatina virus into scariatina, the smallpox virus into smallpox.

AS at present effected one of the greatest injuries to public health is effected by its method of sprinkling the streets, and this introduces the general topic of street cleaning. This implies proper paving anteriorly. If the resi- dents of Murray Hill could see the present condi- tion of Forty-second, Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets, cast of Third avenue, they could not sleep in their houses; they would smell contagion in ever: breath. Unpaved for years, since they were laid out, wit! reeking tohement ew on every side, squatters and their dogs and pigs with mud so deep that no garbage carts can get near ; {four rich men in their paia- tial mansions could see, what they daily smell, when the wind biew from the east, with its sickly, enervating odor, they would flee from their houses. Indeed, the tribute New York has paid to this visitor of death from typhoid passes alone might teach them how much better would be a pavement than plate glass windows aud cleanliness than gilding. ‘one of New York afford to keep another part foul? St. Paul tells us that ‘if ene member is sick the whole body suffer. eth.” Will lofty spires and long prayers, and saying “goul take thine ease’ keep away typhoid’ pneumonia when @ reeking cesspool is at your very door? The Goard of Health should see that nowhere was there break in the pavement, and a daily report should be made of the condition of every street in the city, which coud caaily be effected through the police of the city. ‘Phe plumbers who tear up the street should not be allowed to repave it, but this should be done by city pavers so as to leave no hummock er do- pression, and the charge be made to the house for which the work was done The streot sweeping should then be oMciently done with sufficient incy to keep the streets clean, Thus swept, spriniMing would not be so important as now, and if done for coolness in summer the result need not be the mud which defiles vehicles and cloth- | ing, and renders street crossing matter of impossh | bility for a well dressed person. ‘iliam at won, public good, that I draw attention, u i m and Bud combinntion of observ beginning to ond of As a part of the street cleaning for the warm season | every toot of gutter in the city should, in the absence of severe, cleansing showers, be daily thoroughly | washed by Croton water. In the gutters, tf anywhere, | are collected the germs of disease. In the poorer parts | of this city they are the receptacles of all the waste of | theadjoining houses, Hydrants should be so placed that they shall command the entire gutters of the city, and these should be opencd by the Fire Department of each ward or precinct for afew minutes every day. | ‘This is done in Paris, where water is sold at two sous a | bucket, where it is pumped from the river by steam, and where water is thus both costly and scarce, The saving of water can easily be effected by preventing its waste, as aforesaid, in dwellings, and, if necessary, by affixing water meters to every house—at some cost, to be sure; but what is the value of public health f } The large proportion of the surface area of actty | occupied by its streets will justify any attention ¢e- | voted to the character of the air emanating from thom | or vitiated by them, The recent essay of Adolf Cluss ig eminently deserving of attention, in this respect, | and especially in the present consideration in reser- ence to the aeration of a city. He says:—"The filthof the streets gathers in ruts and joints, is re- | cruited constantly by new accessions of urine, horse- dung and silt, and diluted by the rain it ferments aud | forms a putrescent, organic mire, becoming, in course | of ume, a source of noxious miasmas In hot and dry weather these nauseating deposits pass into the ai- | mosphere in the form of unhealthy vapors, or pulver- | ized and drifted by the wind, cause inconvenience and | poizon our Inngs.”” Indeed, on repairing old pave- ments a black layer of ground saturated with sul- | phuretted hydrogen is found below the stone blocks and bears witness to the infection of the — sub- soil by the Soakage of contaminated water. Professor Tyndall hag established by experiment that # large ortion of the partictes of dust in the rooms of London ouses is Of organic origin, and other experiments have demonstrated that horse manure, in a state of decom. | position, is a permanent ingredient, | Vapors still more noxious than these from the road. | | ded of the streets rise from the gutters, the subsoil of which is saturated to a considerable depth by more concentrated matter of the described composition, and also from the surface of alleys on which are the houses of great numbers of people of limited means Crowds of dirty children whose tender lungs breathe the air immediately over the miaxmatic soi] here contract con- stitational predispositions which doom them toa tans | guishing and miserable life and render them an easy | prey to epidemics, The American Garden makes an earnest plea for the planting of trees in the streets of citice as a sanitary measure, Growing plants assimilate the carbon of carbonic acid, discharging its oxygen into the atmos- phere, The respiration of men and the consumption of fuel lond the atmosphere w:th carbonic acia, and the only means of destroying that poisonous gas is found in plant agency. Hence tf the atmosphere of a ciy were to be enclosed within impermeable wal ind there were no growing plants within the enclosure the air would quickly become irrespirable. But of course the air is nowhere thus wal about, and hence the deleterious gases it contain are dissipated and carried away by the unceasing movements of tbe atmosphere to other regious where an abundant vegetation may deprive it of its carbonic acid. Still there is no doubt that this purification of the air is accelerated by the presence of vegetation in the cities themselves, A writer of the Garden asserts that Paris bas now so large a number of parks and its streets and boulevards are 80 profusely planted with trees that the death rate bas een reduced from 1 tn 34, ag it formerly was, in 39, ap it now is But trees are further of ser- vice in shading gutters and roadways, thus materially retarding aud preventing the action of the fun in pro- ducing noxious fermentation. Then, too, the roots of the trees take up large quantities of such matters as are washed by the raing into the interstices of the pave. ments, Beside these decided sanitary benefits, we must also | take note of the #omfort derived from the eliade of the sidewalks, Last, though not least, the beauty of our cities would be greatly embanced ‘by the planting of trees on the streets, The author recommends the Planting of the sun flower on the Harlem flats of the city. this meang the poisonous gases arieing from the decaying garbage used for these flats would be more effectually neutralized than by the application of either injunctions or disinfectants, ‘The importance of this duily washing of the gutters of anentire city can scarcely be overestimated, if it be but remembered that this i# the most dependent portion of the street, and that inte it is the draining of the entire roadway, To {ts nooks come al dust de- posited by the wind, the emptyings of garbage vessels and the wastage of ail the provision vehicles which bring food to the dwellors along the streets. Here is hidden that which would be odiously conspicvous in the middie of the thoroughfare, Here is a perpetual mois. ture and @ constant fermentation and the constant spores of germinating miastna, If it wore necessary to add another word in favor of such a cosily procedure, it might be added that in these moist gutters are deposited the greater portion of the eggs of the ordinary house flies, which are such an | intolerable nuisance in unclean towns and in country laces where such like places are plentiful. It is moat iceablo that flies diminish with the compact growth of cities, and markedly as attention is given to thelr Hig wassant \k may be cronarked qubter clgadlagea ‘ that these migrating, that the daily floodings of the corner sewer traps wil greatl; Daaees the Seater of mosquitoes, the most of , except tho occasional immense imm: from the Jersey meadows, brought by damp, high winds, are generated in these traps and in the water closet reservoirs of our private dwallings. The juent sprinkling Of streets is a question ot great public importance. «If the streets are kept cleam the subject is very much simplified [ny this caso it narrowed down to tho advisabili of iT of heated stones and loaing the air, bythe oon ation ot ¢ from the water, with moisture This Ie far di the present state, when sprinkling the streets meaps Keeping the filth of the streets most and hos, diced especially for the reception and propagation of the germs of typhus, &.

Ifthe theory previously broached is true, that miaama can bo conveyed in water, what must be the effect of the thousands of cartloads daily ahowered over our city streets!

Keep these bath houses open during the entire year, and impress benevolent societies to insist upon their beneficiaries availing themselves of their bon- efits; teach them that “‘cleanliness is next to godlinneas,"* and perhaps next before it, for few can foel godly and dirty at the same time, The healthiness of old Rome compared with modern Rome was greatly due to its public baths, jon Overy” soul in Rome bathed and malaria was lost in the general cloanliness. Notwithstanding the opportunities afforded by the Presence of Croton water in every house, with the ap- pliances of bath tubs, &c., I am persuaded that they ato not sufficiently used even in the most elevated crclea. Indolence, a dislike for water, persistent postponement and many like reasons account for the neglect so evi- dent to the senses of the observing. But this is not the place to enlarge on this topic. Bad air in our dwellings is not a little due to the poisonous exhalations from the coloring material of our carpets, Paper hangings, &c. More persons are probably seriously injured by the arsenic in shoso ar- ticles, which in the impalpable powder formed by at- traction are inhaled, than by the lead from the water pipes—a cause which has been very thoroughly ex- ploited by pipe makers and those in their interest. We may not, perhaps, at this timo enter into the abatioir question at length, but it demands some notice in a paper on bad air. ‘Theoretically, cattle may be slaughtered in the midstof the most crowded popula- tion without detriment, and examples of this I have Been amd prsopally studied in Paris; but practically in New York, with it ignorant and constantly changing police and inspectors and officials of every grade, d@- pendent for their positions on individual influence & party vote, such absolute cleanliness as is requisite is impossible, It is claimed that the animal exbalationa gre innocuous, an idea which {9 mame false, and ta disproved by the facts already mentioned in previoud” paragraphs.

The scope of this series of papers being limited to malaeration, this subject cannot be entered upom here; but as decomposed meat, through the medium of the air, is injurious, wo shal! suggest to the Board of Health the propriety of compelling butchors to keop their fat, their pickle and their retuse in an apartment separate from that in which their fresh meat 1s hung. The fact is unquestionable that a smal! plece of de-~ composing fat or meat or over-used brine will taint @ large refrigerator full of meat.

The American tourist’s body tha found in an {co crevasse of Mont Blane uninyt although it Lad been frozen fer two or three years, conveys tne idea of the potency of this great scientific invention, to whose practical value time is daily giving new attestations, In our daily home life perhaps nothing evinces our national luxury, no less than a general injurious castom, more than the universal use of carpets upon our floors and similar material on upholstery. The general habit of covering our floors with woollen fabrics has given to Ite use a seeming necessity; its absence gives an air of dig-' comfort, and, worse still, is a supposed confession of poverty. It must be confessed that there is an actnal slight comfort from its warmth to the leet in cold weather and as great a discomfort in warm weather. It also bas the beneficial result—and that not a small one—of muffling the noise of moving feet, furniture, &c._ Ite great expense is a serious consideration; but as this is a matter of ostentation and ministers to Indi- vidual pride its consideration may here be omitted. All that we may properly look at is its malsain propee- tice. Its material is constantly wearing off, and these mi- nute particles are floating in the air, are breathed into our lungs, and not only are foreign bodies inserted into our delicate air tubes, disturbing our secretions and necessitating a forcible expulsion, but to inflamed aud & | delicate lungs are a constant source of disturbance. It we add to this the indisputable facts that the colorin materials eraployed in dyeing them are often compan of such dire poisons thai we would not dare to swallow them in even minute quantities, some of the evils at tendant upon them must be apparent to every one. | We ask why the Indian of the forest and the Bedoulm ot the desert are £0 free from disease, so long lived and. vigorous?
