An net providing for the establish
meut of boards of health by borough
councils was passed by the legislature
and became a law May 11, 1808, It
provides:
That i: shall be the duty of tho presi
dent of the town council or burgess, where
he is the presiding officer, o( every nor
niwh in this eouiiaoa wealth, witliin six
months after thf passage of this .ci to
nominate by and with the consent f the
; nncil to appoint aboard of h lalth of sucu
borough to consist of five persona. . . .
Lenyth of term; one to servs for ouo year,
one to serve for two year..', one to serve
lor three years, one lo serve for four years
and ouo to serve fr five years, ami there
after out! member of said hoard liiill he
appointed annually to servo fur flvo years,
. . . Section L Provides "Th.
said board shall have power, and it
shall be their duty, to make
and enforce all needful r iles and regula
tions to prevent the introduction and
spread of Infectious or contagious diseases,
by tho regulation of intercourse with in
fected places, by the arrest, separation and
treatment of Infected persons who shall
have been exposed to any infectious or
contagious disease, and by abating and re
moving all nuisances winch they shall
deem prejudicial to the public health. . .
. It Khidl bo the duty of all physicians
practicing within the borough to report to
-.no secretary of said board of health t lie
lames and residences of all persons coming
uuder their professional csre,sffiicted with
such contagious or infected disease, in the
manner directed by the said board." Sec
tion 5 provides for the abatement of any
uuisance suspected to be of an infectious or
contagious disease or nuisance detrimental
to the public healtli and the cost nud ex
penses thereof shall b recoverable from
the owner or from anv person or persons
causing or maintaining the same, in the
lame manner as debts of like amount are
now bv law collected. Baction six provides
for the creation and maintenaceof an ac
curate system of tho registration of all
marriages, births and deaths which may
occur within the borough, and to compel
obedience to the same upon the foot of all
physicians or other medical practitioners,
clergymen, magistrates, undertakers, sex
tons and from all other persons from
whom information for such purposes may
properly be required, trection s;ven pro
vides for the submission of an estimate of
probable receipts uud expenditures
of the board during the ensuing
year to the council who nhail
then proceed to make such appropri
ation in the mouth of January of each
year. The board shall submit an annual
report in writing to the couucil of Its
onerations. etc. ... It shall also be
their duty to communicate with the stnt
board at least annually notice ol its organ
izntion and membership and all report
concerning sanitary information as may
from time to time required by said state
board.
As insy be sen from the above act it
lacks but a few weeks of being eight
months since the above law Wbiit into
effect and notwithstanding it calls
upon the president of ovsry council or
but gess to comply with it within six
months, Mr. Hart lias not up to the
present time seen fit to exercise the
duty vested in him. Why this is so
the writer is unable to say unless
thoughtlessly he has allowed it to
cape his attention. However, there is
yet ample time. That this town is
sadly in need of a board of health is
and has been apparent to everybody
for years. Families who have been
visited with contagious diseases appear
to euro little ns regards the eoinio
uuonces that naturally arise as a re
sult of their indiscretion. Were they
quarantined as they should be, much
suffering and deprivation might be
avoided.
If the council had made the appoint
ment as they shonld within the pre
scribed time the dead infant found a
few weeks ago in all its ghai tiliness
would not have beon allowed to re
main after discovery an hour, much
less a day, for the hordes of young
children to feast their eyes upon. Gsn
tlenien of the borough council, the in
terests of this community demand that
you should perform your duty fear
lessly and impartially. Sue that you
do it without delay.

THE FIB8T SETTLEMENT.
The history of the forts of tho Wy

August. 1768. where sow 2 s aU ar
rived at Wvoming. u few miles below
here, on the west side of the Susqu
bunna river, and ttiran the Itrst Si-.te-
menl under "The Susquehanna Land
Pjimnanv." The colony Came from
Pniinecticnt and located their first I hi
hrovciimnt at tiie mouth of "Mill
Creek." It consisted of a suii'il log
house, prudelv built, an 1 was sur
rounded hv Several -;n illor cabins, Sub-
seqnently this f rt w is the of "0,

by claimants under teec ilonles of Con

session of the land, a-vi harrowing tales
