The Brainage Bugaboo. — The Free Lance has been recently sorely afflicted with a series of ‘‘spazzuma,” in the course of which it endeavored to set upthe fact that the: prevalence of typhoid fever in ‘Grass Valley is dae to bad drainage. ‘ The Union of yesterday very quietly, but nevertheless ‘effectually, punctured its excited cotemporary’s theory by calling attention to the much more reasonable one that here in the ntountains typhoid fever is due to atmospheric changes more than anyvhing else, It expiains that the sickness ‘‘is not localized to damp, or low situations, or where there is defective drainage, but spread generally over the town.” Some of the worst cases that have occurred in the county this year have been found in houses located ou side hills in sparsely settled reis giens where the drainage was perfect and the water pure. We incline to the belief that the principal cases of sic cness of this character have been. drought on by the long coutiuwed raging wilhave a greater tendency to check the epidemic than amy othla mile distant. dry weather, and the storin Dow . The break between the north sido of the. Yuba and Bloody Run could be constructed without ‘encountering ‘any heavy graies.
