He had just returned' a short time ego from Mich., where he had been fishing all fall, and was boarding at the Brenner House, and had been doing some ditching for Mr. Hamilton. He complained of not being well, but workedon until Thurs- day when he. was taken down. Dr. McLaughlin was called and did every- thing for hint that was possible, until Saturday morning, about 8 o'clock, when he passed away. His remains were buried on Sunday afternoon. Rev.

All members present. The Inspectors reported that during the month of June last they had visited all the school houses and premises, also the villages of Zurich, Blake, and Dashwood and found every- thing satisfactory. The Secretary was instructed to notify Messers. Cook and Goetz, of Dashwood, not to allow any carcasses of animals to be buried on their premises in the pile of sawdust in the village of Dashwood. The fol- lowing report was read before the Board by the Medical Health officer : To the chairman and members of the Board of Health for the township of Hay. Gentlemen :--In accordance with the requirements of the Public Board of Health Act, I beg leave to submit my second annual report. The number of deaths from all causes dur- ing the year was about 11 in 1,000. I am pleased to note that diphtheria which was so prevalent in our town- ship during the last year has re -visited us only to at slight extent, there being only two cases and no deaths from that disease during the present year. In the first case the disease was in all probability contracted from the neigh- boring township (Stephen,) while in the second case no satisfactory cause could be found. In both of these cases the houses were placarded and disin- fection carried out by the Inspector under Supervision of your Medical , Health officer. Scarlet fever put in an appearance this year in the front and north of the.township. We have seven reported cases and one death. Disinfection and isolation were attend- ed to by the practitioner in attendance on the case. Measles, we have had five reported cases of measles of a mild type ; no deaths. Whooping cough appeared to a slight extent during the spring. On the Sauble line south of the Zurich road, a few cases came un- der my own supervision. .None were reported, but I am inclined to think that in some parts of the township cases occurred not attended •by any physician. Typhoid fever, We have had 33 reported cases of `typhoid fever during the past year, two of which were fatal;many of the cases were Of a mild type, but in some instances the cases have been severe. The cases in most instances appear to bedue to local infiuences,nuost probably to well water which is more apt to, be • contaminated in seasons hot and dry whenithegruund water is low such aswe have had this summon. In each -case insolation and disinfection has been left entirely to the Medical attendant. Judging from this .,his year's experience I would recoin- mend that the board pay attent- ion to the insolation of cases and the thorough disinfection and proper•dis- posal of the excretions in this disease in future than has been done in past. In this connection I regret to say, that there is a great difficulty in com- piling a report owing to the fact that lysicians, although they faithfully to be committed on a charge of niur- der. M. Proudfoot argued to the con- trary. The Police Magistrate gave a lengthy t. review of the evidence and of the law and held that the whole facts of the case being before him he felt it his duty to decide that there was no evi- dence of any kind to substantiate a charge of murder, and he accordingly committed the prisoner to the next court of competent jurisdiction ou a charge of manslaugtter. Bail was fixed at $1,500, which has been pro- dueed,andFred Elliott is:again at hone attending to his duties.
