DUMPED-A Chinaman, more dead than alive, was being carried between Clevezly Street and Bonham Strand last evening. A crowd quickly gathered, and the man with the burden, fearing trouble, dropped his load and bolted. The unfortunate Chinaman, who was thought
to be suffering from plague, remained on the street until the arrival of the Police.

According to my light I thank the Sanliary Board for the work they do, but I trust that the Board will not because they see good results to their work proceed to exercise severity and so cause us Chinese not only not to thank them but on the contrary to hate them. We hope they will not make the Benevolence of the Government seem to us as if it were oppression.

The Almighty Lord, who is a most strong tower to all them that put their trust in Him, to to whom all things in heaven, in earth and under the earth, do bow and obey, be now and evermore Thy defence, and make the King know and feel, that there is none other name under heaven given to man, in whom and through whom our King may receive health and salvation, but only the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Since the collapse in Cochrane Street I know that the British Government thinks of the Chinese residents here and I hope that the Hongkong officials will take equal or greater thought for us and so further exhibit the
benevolence of the civilized countries of Europe so as to lead Chinese to regard Hongr kong as their home. ________
The roads of Hongkong are broad and clean, there are but few robbers, people live here in. peace and being under the British Rule all the officials are upright. Why then is it that so many people do business here as visitors only and take their families to and form their homes in Macro. There are many reasons for this. Perhaps one reason is that very few Chinese know that much sunlight is needed to put away plague and that the air must be pure and... their bodies clean. Why does the Govern
