    • Abstract:
      This article presents information about several social developments around the world, as of September 13, 1877. The Fifth Annual Report of the Boston Board of Health contains valuable suggestions with regard to the sewerage of the city; the treatment of tramps; and the advisability of providing a public ambulance for the removal of persons falling sick in the streets. Clarence King, of the United States Geological Survey of the Fortieth Parallel, has just issued Vol. vi. of his report to the Chief of Engineers, "Microscopical Petrography," by Ferdinand Zirkel. A school of drawing and painting has been established in Boston in connection with the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, but under a different management.
