O.i Tuesday last, between the hours of

lwel e, and o.ie o'clock a -ever? shock of an carlhquak?, was felt at this place. FOR l UK WUSIKHN t::. IX my last. I observed that the late cpi demies of Yiucenne-s, were in a pre at mea.ure produced by its eitiz ns, cither by t .ir uircetly creating cures ot ill bea ji or indirectly, by ueglcctiiv.; t' obviate the effects of those causes, which are not w'uhin their control. Of the loituer of these, is clcanlmes-; which is dependant up-n a well 1 egulatcd system of police. Cleanliness in a town has In en Universally acknowledged nay, demonstrated, to be absolutely necessary to the health of iu ci'izcus In p'oportiou as attention ha been paidtothi subject, by the inhabitants of towns, so hate ihey been proportionably healthy, fins attention becomes more neeessarv in waun, lhao cold climates, though even towns in the latter, have often siiHued fa '.ally fiom a neglect of this duty. So fat illy neglectful have we been of this dut, that 110 ; emulation esists in our Imrough, to p. event the accumulation, or to icmovc the film and litter that is constantly col lecung in our streets, our back yards, in fact over the whole suifacc of our town The consequence of this neglect, is. that the surface of the populous parts of oui tow n, is covered with a noxious vcgitahle and animal matter, daily giving olf duimg the hot season, a noisome vapour, charged with the most deleterious poison The natural salubrity of our atmosphere, is contaminated, and rendered destmctive to our health. Those quantities of animal and veritable matter, that in all towns is necessarily accumulating instead of bcinir carefully collected, and carted beyond the precincts of our boioiurh has been suffered to remain where first easti ally left, unless dming heavv 1 aiiis it is washed into the low places, theie miming reservoirs of stinking mud- tilth and water, covered with a gieen scum, from wnich, during hot weather, is continually rising, like the bubbles in a beer tub, ths most putt id exhalations All organized matter, when suffering decomposition, is prejudicial to health, and when accumulated in any cousiueiable ouAntities, retains heat and moisime, (the seeds of exhalations) much muger, and more pertinaciously, than the eaith whereon it is collected. OT all kinds 01 v)il, none can be. moie favorable to exhalations, than that whereon our town r,ta ids, how careful then ought we not to be, to prevent the collections til such mat teras affords exhalations so ruinous to health. Hut as though toe quantity of organised matter, that would oultnaiily cofied w.i insufficient, we p-nnil many of our lots, gaulens and yards. t be cov . cred with a rank growth of the most stinking weeds to add to the general mass of corruption, by decaying in the advanced part of the season. To complete tin., disgusting p:ctiiic, we ob-crve almost cvery where decaying fences, dip red stables, and heaps of dung, out houses in ruins, privies without vaults, and the str-cts swarming with cows and hog-, ftlrng them with their ordure, nukim; in ah a picture at once dir.gusting to tiie scnvcs. aiul desliuctive of health. 4 - The picure however is not n.-'.slud V the uwve open features (d the t-w 41 little closer sciuti .y we will tnui, th't if many of our kitchens, cellars, out Ii .uses and well?, do iet exhibit appi ar aiu cs tiiat w ould indicate a source ol di rr.sc that nevertheless, tlir water, slop , and olValls- that are often thrown in so. 1 ' ' cotuiguous place, f ' ir.s a putiid sink o disease To the ned:t of uur citizens i nav be observed, that many such instan

Hut when the gcmral mas of air is even slightly contaminate!, ti tlier by v:-pours trom marshe-, stagnant pools,oi liom tnc iiuinaii body while iaborinr under di. ease, tiien the mote con-' densced and noxious exhalations ol a singic xnuking mud of small extent, will rcndei tne v. hole atmospucre, lor a vciy consideiable distance, hight) tlele terious to health ; producing iu rapid succession, the most uesttuclhe levers; a the nuvi of air becomes more higniy charged with poison, either horn Hie sune continued exn nations, or trom ellluvia of diseased bodies, or both, and this desiiuctive scetie continues to rage wit inci easing fury, until thcapproachitig frost locks up luese sotnees ot disease, and puiifics the atmosphere. Let then those undeniable facts, proved b the experience of all ages, and all countries, be aTJ)lied to Vinceuues an 1 we will at once pciceivc the truth of my position; that our late levers have originated duo' our own neglect. Suppose tnat thegetieial mass of air become snghtly lmpine, either from the river, ot that lids itnputil is common loom whoie country, miring tne ih comp, sui" ot t c uxuiient growih of egitatee mailer that sptings up Item our fetne soil, luw many places does not oui town lurui-h (if indeed its whole sui face does not) gumg biah to t -e niost noisome vapouts, seffi :l- nt to rendvr the air destructive to 11 IV. Let it be observed, that il a slight. y lmpu.eah. is consequent to warm climates, with a lev ei lei tiie soil abounding with tillable productions V at the human sytem become habituated to tuis air and that a much mot e thao ordinary bad atmosphere is ncccssaiy 10 produce disease. If then we arecaiefui o ptevcnttlie uccumulatioo ol causes piooueing impurity, vc will be bee bom epidemics, and this is easily done by paying a tenlion to the cleanliness of mir town It is not to be denied, that the river in the sum-i ct of '820, was an assisting call., in the production of the. epidemic ol that season Hut then, by our own miscon, ,ue e added to, if we did not wholly produce that state of the river, vvlncn made n an assistant c atse -d fever Previous to that season, aw at f and abutment had been erected at the steam milt, jutting trom the bank a consideiable ui--lancv into the iier. This, bv lu.ning U cheeking the lourse (d the water, peimitsa sediment of slime and mud 10 be deposited during the spring floods along, and at t' c bottom of the w hole eastern side of the river, which is the prolific p.irent of those great crops of ivarrr gran that we have observed latter I v :t is this grass, and the mailer that it collects and retains, that renders the rivei offensive. Neveitlndess, this state of the river cannot exist, only duting seasons ol low water but as we cannot prevent the river trom being low, we must remove the cause that makes it bad while low, or by some 'other means, prevent it from injui mg us. I have now glanced at the can cs, that hae contributed to produce oui aie epi vh inics and as they are mostly of our own creating, so it is obvious we can icmove, and pi event them from affecting u It may be asked, however, whv, if urns., are th.' causes, hav e ti ey 1 ot affeeleU us every season since the first epidemic tjl it m y he o called) in 815 1 Uw-vinswer 1-. lhat every season lias not bveii vquaiiy tavorabie to the production ol noxious exhalations.
