THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

A meeting of the Board of Health was held last evening at 5 o'clock. Present— Henry Beer, Esq., Chairman ; Messrs, Morris, ‘McRae, Curtis, McLean, Davy, Horne, Douse, Crabbe, Haszard and Kelly.

The meeting was called by the request of the Executive Committee to consider the matter of changing physicians at the small- pox hospital.

The following letter was read from Dr. J, T. Jenkins :

To the Chairman of the Board of Health.

Sur.—I have to acknowledge the following copy of a resolution, passed ata meeting of the Board of Health on the 26th inst. :—

Whereas, The smallpox epidemic is now under control, and no patients having been admitted to the Hospital for some time, and the Board of Health being desirous of reducing the expendi- ture as much as possible ;

Therefore Resolved, That the services of Dr. John T. Jenkins be dispensed with from the 27th inst.

As 1 bave incurred double responsibilities in taking possession, on bebalf of tne citizens, of the Asylum Building, and in assuming the charge of the patients, and as I consider the public safety requires thet one thoroughly acquainted with the

disease, the state of the patients, and the condition of the building, should be in charge to see that no one is discharged who could possibly carry away in-

fection, and that the building is put in such astate that it may be handed back in perfect safety to the authorities, and as I shall make no additional charge for ta my duties in connection withthe hospital, I think it advisable,in the in- terest of the public, whom I serve, to retain the charge of the establishment until all the patients are discharged and the building made ready to be given up.

The—under the circumstances—exceedingly scant courtesy of the resolution of your Board is excusable on one ground only.

I have, etc., J.T. JENKINS, Health Officer. Dec, 20, 1885,

Moved by Mr. Douse and seconded by Mr, McRae:

Resolved, That Dr, Johnson, the Health Officer for the city, is hereby authorized and requested by the Board of Health to take charge of the Smal!pox Hospital at once, and that he shall not allow any patient tv leave said hospital without a medical officer being present. as we understand has been done heretofore, so that there shall b« no danger of said patients carrying the*infection with them into the city; and that he shall dis- charge all patients as soon as they shall be fit to leave, and close up the said hospital with as little delay as possible.

On the motion being put, there appeared for it: Messrs. Morris, Douse, McRae,

Davy and Curtis. Against— Messrs Crabbe, Kelly, Haszard, McLean and Horne.

The Chairman stated that as the matter has changed materially since it was lest considered, he would ask the Board to allow him to consult the Health Officer, Dr. Johnson, as to whether he was able to perform the duties.

The Board then adjourned again this morning.

The following letter was then read from Dr. Johnson :

To the Chairman of the Board of Heaith.

Sin,— Having been informed by yourself of the resignation of Dr. 8. K. Jenkins of his position as Assistant Health Officer, and in reply to your enquiry 2s to whether, with the sole assistance of Dr. Warburton, ! can conduct the special work on hand to its completion, Ihaye tosay that | am prepared at any time to assume the responsibili- ties, both of the hospital and city work, with the assistance of Dr. Warburton.

I have the hener to be, Your obedient servant, RICHARD JOHNSON, Heaith Officer.

The Chairman therefore supported the resolution of Mesera, D use and Mciiae.

A motion to notify Dre Jenkins and Dr. Johnson of the action of the Board was carried on divisicn.

The Board then adjourned.

Home Rule for Ireland.

It looks, judging by the manifeate of the Orangemen of Ireland, and there is no doubt they speak for a very considerable minority of the people, as ifone of the first subjects for discussion in the new Irish pariiament that the Nationalists hope for might bea proposal to give Home Rule to the people of the North of the Island. They are evidently as irreconcilable to any plan that would place them under the domi- nation of the rest of the Island as are the Parnellites to English rule, and that they would be as tenacious in their purposs as have been their southern countrymen no one who knows them can doubt. That any of the evils the Orangemen ‘preiend to foreseo would befall the Protestant population, even if the wildest power were placed in the hands of the new governing body, when it is created, however, no one need fear. The worst that would happen the Protestants would be to see the des- tinies of tae country swayed by what too many of them look upcn as a separate and hostile people. They are too powerful an element in the population of Ireland to be domineered over; they would, ones the phalanx that Mr. Parnell now leads had split up into rival factions, which would speedily follow the granting of his demands, have the balance of power largely in their hands #f their own mistakes did not cause them te lose their opportunity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

ee

The Clergy.

se ee

Str,—On the 18th inst. you had in your paper an editorial upon the ‘‘Length of Sermons.” In that article you introduced the Rev. Robert Hall, the great Baptist preacher, saying that: ‘‘A man of genius with an effort, might make one sermon ina week; a man of talent, if he were diligent, might perhaps manage to make two, but nobody but a born fool would ever think of attempting to make three.” Now if this be true, it is clear that no congregation hes any right to expect two first-class sermons in the week, because even although their minister were a genius, he could produce only one such sermon a week, and that, too, only with an effort. What then is to be done? Are congregations to be content with only one excellent discourse? Or will they be pleased with two inferior ones? Or will they be satisfied with the rant and rhodomontade of the ‘' born fool ?” We ask ithe questions, but leave congregations to answer them, as they may be supposed to know best what they would like. But itis evident that church-goiag people do want sermona twice a Sabbath Day; and it is equally evident that they cannot get good sermons at that rate. And we ask again what is to be done? One might suppose that in towns and cities the clergy of all denominations might exchange pulpits with one another on the Sabbath evenings, and thus relieve the studies and toils of one another. Such a plan, too, might introduce variety, and give congre- gations the chance of /iearing the various ministers ainong whom they live, and move, and have their being. A change of faces, change of voice, anda change of matiner, might help to relieve the constant satne- ness and to enliven the services of the Church. The only objection to this pro- posal which we can think of, is that it might efford an opportunity for proselyti- zing, which again might rouse jealousy and unfriendly feclinga between Church and Church, which would be a great pity. The writer once knew acase in which two churches of the same denomination em- ployed three ministers, which wrought very well. The third misister preached, as it were, in the morning in the East Church, and inthe evenirg in the West Cherch ; and preached the same sermon in both Churches, so that there was no inducement to follow him from charch to church. This plan answered admirably ; each minister had to get up only one sermon a week, and he could therefore afford to make it a good one, besides allowing him more time for visiting. The co gregations kept well up, were well pleased with their Sabbath ser- vices, and had no reason to entertain the painful fear that they were killing their minister with ‘* much study which is a weariness of the flesh.” Such study, it is said, has made Mr. Spurgeon a complete wreck, and will likely send him to an early grave, where it has sent thousands of cler- gymen before him.

A Card of Thanks.

——

Sir,—The undersigned, Pastor of the Murray Harbor Presbyterian congregation received at the Manse on Christmas night @ visit from a numberof the more promi- aept members of that section of his congre- gation known as Peter’s Road, who came to make him a gift of a very beautiful and valuable black far coat, accompanied by a pair of gauntlets of the same color and material, which he hereby gratefully acknowledges, No wonder if he will feel well going among such a people in such a coat and gloves, especially on a cold day. Peter’s Road people evidently know how to take care of their Pastor, and how to encourage him. After spending the eve - ing very pleasantly, the donors left for their homes about the time the ‘* keyatone o’ the nicht ’’ had arrived.

The Forthcoming Overland.

Advance notesaf the Overland Monthly for January promise a nuorber of especial interest, This will be the ‘‘Holiday Issue.”’ and it has been decided to publish it a few days before Christmas.

The first article will be Leonard Kip’s Christmas story, entitled ‘‘Golden Graves,” a tale of the minesat Lowber Bar, in the stirring times of *49.

Andrew McFarland Davis will con'ribute a historical study of the famous ‘‘Voyage of the Ursuline” across the Atlantic in 1727, in the ill-fated ship Gironde.

Miss Helen Lake’s new novel of Cali- fornia life, entitled ‘‘For Money,” will be- gin in this issue, and the first installments show adistinct advance upon the best of Miss Lake's previous work. It promise to de a strong, earnest story, full of fidelity to Paciiic Coast society and manners.

“An Autumn Ramble in Washington Territory,” and an article on ‘* Water Righta in British Columbia,” will show that the Overland isinot unmindful of the Great North Pacific Region

Kate Heath will contribute a Holiday Story, ‘‘Mr. Grigg’s Christmas,” a sketch full of human interest, love and pathos.

The picturesque features of Mexico will seldom be better described than by Mr. D, 8S. Richardson, formerly Minister Fos- ter’s Secretary, in his ‘*Oruise Among the

loating Islands.”

Hon. A. A. Sargent will write again of the Chinese Problem and the recent agitation against the Chinese. His article is a reply to a writer in the December Overland. Some *‘Observations on Chinese Libor,” by H. Shewin, wiil give the brighter side of the picture,

Perhaps the article that will attract most attention is entitled ‘‘The Lost Journals of a Pioneer.”” Some books, Mas., etc., were recently fonnd buried in the Coast Range, and a Chapter of Comments npon events of many years ago in Sacramento and Sau co will appear in the January Over- land,

Sol. Sheridan will contribute ove of his attractive S ories. There will be Poeins by Agnes A. Manning, Francis E. Sheldon, and Miss Coolbrith, The Book Reviews, Reon Verse, E:litorials, etc., will be up

Subway Meeting at Market Hall.

Tue public meeting at Market Hall to- morrow evening will be one of great im- portance to the best interests of this pro- vince. Senator Howlan has made a specialty for some time past of his great scheme, His speech in the Senate iast session was listened to with marked atten- tion, and received the approval of many distinguished men, both in and out of Parliament. Since then he has secured the services of practical and eminent engineers, whose opinions as tothe practicability of this great work are unanimously favorable. Nothing now remains but immediate action on the part of our representatives im parlia- ment, with the view of urging ,upon the Government the propriety of elltertaining the subway question.

(From the Pioneer.)

Remarks on the Subway meeting here last week are squeezed out this issue.

Miss Grace L. Reid, Vice-Principal in the Davies School, received a valuable pre- sent from her class on taking leave of them for the holidays last week.

Mrs. W. B, Miils wishes.to express her thonks to the congregation of Saint Mary’s Church for the valuable Christmas gift, kindly presented to her, ;

Desirous of giving the hands working on this paper a week’s holidays, we have de- eided not to issue the Pioneer next week. We hope readers wiil kindly overlook the omission.

We are pleased to learn that Isiand boys at McGill College, Montreal, have done themselves credit at Christmas examina- tions. Inthe 3rd year students, Mr. W. L, Clay,of this plaee, and two other Island- ers took first class standing.

Christmas passed away quie!ly in Sum- merside. The day was cheerless and cold, while wagons were the only vehicles that could be used. But then, come to think of it, Obristmas Day of 84 was honored by a No. 1 blizzard. The Baud made things lively in the afternoon and evening by spirited music.

The Journal is slightly off the perpen- dicular in stating that a call had been given to Rev. J. D. Murray, of Buctouche. Though the matter is under consideration, no call has yet been extended to anyone ; whereas the Mr. Murray in contemplation comes from Cape Breton and not from Buctouche.
