MEETING TO BE ATTENDED TO.

To the Editor. Sir, —Since our Corporation are taking steps to clear out the piggeries now amongst us, would it not be advisable at the same time to have a clearing-out of the numerous cow yards also to be seen and smelt in the town. In my opinion, thickly-populated localities are not the places for cow-keep ng under any circumstances. For some little time past au abominable stench might be smelt by any one passing up St. David street and round the corner of George street, at which corner is one of these cow-yards. 1 particularly smelt it this morning, when a breczj wafted the effluvium a considerable distance from the place in question, even fo where I reside in King street, 1 make this complaint through your columns, in the hope that cither the attention of the Inspector of Nuisances (if wo have now such a functionary) may be called to the nuisance,

or that the proprietor may think proper to use his endeavors to keep down what is certainly calculated to engender fevers, diptheria, and other fearful maladies during tue warm weather now approaching.— Yours, &0., Olfactory Nerves. Dunedin, Oct 19.
