Excitement Over a Iot Child Its Final Recovery. ' . :' , There was quite j an ' excitement in the vicinity of the corner of Eighth and. Dock streets, yesterday afternoon, caused by the i - ! ! sudden and mysterious disappearance of a ittle daughter of, Mr. William Petteway, aged about 3 years and 6 j months. The family reside on the corner of Eighth and Dock, and a few minutes before the dis appearance of the child her mother, who was sitting at a window opening upon the former street, noticed the little girl playing upon the grass, and. heard her remark that she was going to her grandmother's. A minute or two afterwards she was heard to enter the front gate, and nothing more was thought of the matter," especially as the child had never been in the habit of leav ing home except in charge of a servant or some member of the family1. Teh! minutes afterwards she wa3 hiissed; a thorough search was made about the premises and the neighborhood ;and no trace of her could be discovered. It was found that she had not been! (to the house of her grandmother and parties who went in various directions in search of the little one, returned and reported ihait she had not been discovered. Word was sent to the City Hall, and Chief iof Police Brock sent two or three policemen to join in the search. In the meantime the family were in the greatest distress imaginable, think ing that perhaps the 'child had fallen into a well, or sink, or something 'of jthe' sort. Finally, after about one hour and a half bad elapsed from the time that the little waif had disappeared, she was discovered at the corner of Second and: Ann streets, making her way inj!the direction of the wharf, and the hearts of her parents and friends were soon after rejoiced by a sight of their lost darling.

I JULY 18, 1877. BOARD OF ALDERMEN. Proceedings in Adjourned Session The Board met yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, pursuant to adjournment; present, Mayor Dawson, and Aldermen Myers, Bow den, VonGlahn, Vollers, r Foster, King, Lowrey and Hilt, Proceedings of last -meeting were read and approved ' A report of Dr. A. E. Wright Superin tendent of Health, was read and ordered on file. j i A communication from the Board of Health of New Hanover county, was read by Alderman Flanner, as follows To vie Honorable Mayor and Board of Al dermen of the Ctty of Wumington. N. G. The Board of Health of New Hanover county are an organized body, attiillary to the Board of Health of the State of North Carolina, which by law is constituted "The Advisors of the State in all Sanitary Mat ters," respectfully beg leave to call your at tention to the possible danger of the intro duction of yellow fever into this city, un less measures are maintained for prevent- lllg 11. ! - In tne opinion of this Board the existence' of this dire disease in our midst ia impossi Die unless coming: from abroad, and the fearful mortality it entails and the violent injury, if not fatal destruction, which it in- nicts upon every mercantile and industrial pursuit, justify any regulations, however rigid and severe, deemed essential to its ex clusion. The long immunity which we have had should not be allowed to induce a sense of security, for although, ia many respects, we are more favorably located. and have a climate less adapted to the gen esis or yeiiow lever man our sister cities, Charleston and Savannah, vet we have had epidemics here, and they have left-such marks as should teach us that our safety lies wnouy in tne wisdom with which we provide against them. auis iever nas a ' perennial existence in the islands of the West Indies (few beinc exempt; and upon the South American coast ; it is there always endemic, subsiding into isolated local expressions of mild character during the winter months, and breaking out with renewed violence and over increased area as the warm season ap proaches. With some of these localities our commercial relations have long been of considerable magnitude, and during the dull season are further stimulated bv the fleets of idle ships which assemble there looking for freight, at very low figures, - in me, various port3 of the United States. They usually come hither in ballast, which tuu.ioia ui curiii uoii or sana or gravel oo tained from the vicinage of cities or towns. ana mere is good reason to believe that it is in many instances poisoned with muni cipal filth coming from the drains, middens ana cesspools of the corporations. r We need not stop . to point out the obvious dangers of this as a source of infection. In the city of Savannah the first cases of vel- low fever last year were traced beyond all reasonable doubt as to their origin, to these heaps qf ballast which were deposited upon the wharves and shores, and the les son should not be lost upon us. Now no good reason exists j why vessels from the West Indies should come into our ports during the heated term, though it is feared that the cheap rates of freight induce some persons to bring them hither under charter, disregarding the risk they subject us to in making their private interests paramount to the public weal. It behooves us to meet this unnecessrry intercourse with a determined front, and no measures can be relied upon to reach the desired end except such as prohibit all direct communication hitherward from the West Indies and South America, during certain periods of the year.;. We would advise that all vessels coming from these ports, and others known or sus pected to be unhealthy, be prohibited en tering this harbor, between the 15th day of June and the 15th day of October, better absolutely, but certainly unless with a cer tificate, under consular seal, to the effect thatjnocaseof yellow fever has occurred in the port whence the vessel has sailed during the ninety days immediately preceding the departure of the vessel. Disinfection of the vessel, cargo and crew should in every instance, when admitted, be of a thorough character, not bv the old in effective fumigation, but after the most ap proved modern methods, extending even to the destruction of effects and property when presenting the possibility of infection. Dumping grounds upon shoals or flats, in such localities in the river as the govern ment engineers may appoint or approve, not nearer, however, than fifteen miles to the city,8hould be established for the deposit of all refuse or ballast, and under no cir cumstances should such material be landed anywhere upon shore at any season of ffie year, if coming from ports south of this, or from the immediate vicinity of any large city. ' ' ' ' - All bilge liquid Bhouldbe discharged into salt water below the city, and afterwards the vessel should be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected throughout. In this con nection we would allude incidentally and for the purpose of condemning it, to the re prehensible practice to which the ship mas ters not infrequently resort, contrary, to aw, of pumping the bilge water into the river while the vessel is moored at the wharf.' Besides being very offensive from the odor which spreads itself over a large portion of the city, it is, in our opinion, highly prejudicial to the sanitary condition, containing, as tbe filthy liquid doubtless docs, germs capable of initiating the most pernicious forms of contagion. It would be amiss, if, in addition to the law in refer ence to bilge water, the f urtherjobllgations were imposed upon the ship-master of caus ing the well and other portions of the bold of the vessel to be disinfected and deodor ized before the bilge and other filth is pumped out or removed; in no way how ever, abating the regulation, in reference, to the distance from the city at; which the pumping or removal is to be done. . i The methods for effecting this may be well defined, and should be printed in va rious languages, so that the harbor master or other executive officer may. make them known to every ship, and leave no plea foe ignorance in the matter. " j Should your honorable body desire in formation and rules as to the most effectiye methods of disinfection, this Board wUI he ready to supply them. r i- Some' consideration also may easily be bestowed upon the rule to be adopted in cases of death aboard ship from contagious disease. To be in accord with other por tions ot 4 perfect sanitary cqde, nq inlef ment of a pprsan dyiqg from any such cause should be permitted upon shore or in the river, hut should he carried out and de posited in the deep sea. being ' weighted ... : : :i. !!.?'. .,.?. . s Huiuuicuiiy w iiiauro lis Burning to me DG- torn. ; ; ; i '.,-.r' :r:f;:vv..vi?sr--.,'.-It is not our desire to' excite Wy in", reference to' these JquestroHipT gravity of the interests - in vol,- the gravest duty upon usvwl.c nlorp iH jr' rrr ! 13-t ' WHOLE NO. 3.103 apply to the thorough attainment of the end in view. . , o u. .. ;.r' j; ; We, aa a Board, always hold ourselves ready to give to your honorable body ad vice upon the .various . influences which operate upon ihe fiahitary condition, wheth er for good or evil,' and this without im pugning, the judgment which all possess as io me supernciai aspect of such matters.
