    Cows m the Cxty—Dr . Letheby , the City officer of health , calls attention in a recent report-to the impropriety of keeping cows in the City .

" As a consequence disease is engendered in those < wb . o drink the mitto-I especially in children . [ We may add , from what we have ourselves observed , that some cow-sheds in the suburbs are not a whit better . ]
