Amongst the mistakes in management alleged against- the- Poplar Board of Guardians, who arc accused of extravagance, are the purchase.of dust bins at 14s 6d each, which could have been got for 4s 6d; watercarriers at 255, - the ordinary price being half a guinea; and meat skewers at 9s 6d per gross, which could have been obtained at 2s 6d per gross. You wrap up your head in red flannel, You snuffle and snort on your bed, You plaster each pane and each panel In dread of a draught that is dead. Nay, cast all your wraps to the needy! Such miseries never endure, For Woods has a remedy speedy! Great Peppermint Cure.—CAdrfJ
