The absolute necessity for a dead , house or public morgue in connection with the local Hospital is fast becoming moro and more urgent. During Christman week there were two dead bodies in the institution and as tho weather waß very hofc, for reasons that can be well understood, it wna found necosB«ry to remove the remains to a shed in tbe rear, in close contiguity to tho Hospital and, within a few yards of tho public street, where hundreds of adults and children were constantly passing and ropnssing* This is a matter which tho t ommitiee cannot afford to overlook any longer, as not only are tho patients ol the itiHtitution iticon« venienced, but tho very health of priHeerfl by is seriously endangered. There h nmple room within the Hoflipital enclosure for the erection of the '

required buildiag, «nd ft'iite.i* avaiU abio, which while isolated from the Hop* pitfll, i^ fluffioiflntlr removed., from thu currant of traffic to appeal all publi6 fear. We geriouitjr. commend this , matter to the attention of the Coin* mittee.

Tho purohoso was efibotod upon most advantagoous torms to tho Keep 'it-Durk Company, and it is In aoknowlodgemont of tho ability he displayod in this dirootion that tho voto was passod. A full mooting of tho members of tho Beefton Jookoy Club is oonvonod for Monday next, to reooivo tho Secretary's Report nnd Balance Shoot in oonnootion with tho lato meeting.

A special moot« ing of tho Ktownrdn will bo hold on tho aimo ovoning at 8 o'olock; to oloso all accounts •oonnooted with tho lato menu, It is really timo that something was done to provont horses and othor animals straying a^ largo through tho town.
