Bad BOys.-An association has been formed in ,
Boston, whose movements have struck dismay
into some of the young offenders. We extract
the following account of the Society, from the
Working mems Advocate of that city:
owe will state the organization of the asso-
citation, which Is very simple and will undoubt-
eddy prove effectual. A committee is chosen TO
receive reports of all misdemeanors, which are
noticed IN any place, or at any time: to keep
record of the same, with the name OF the offender
or description Of his person if the name is not
known. II is the duty of every member OF the
association to make such reports, and, for the bet
ter preservation OF the peace OH the Sabbath,
which has heretofore been day of entire license
to these young rosues. a committee OF twelve is
appointed by the first named committee for eve
ry sabbath whose duty it is to examine the streets,
and all the haunts, where they congresate, and
with, according to their character. Those who
are idle, profane. and in fair way to become cri
ninals are taken to their parents and cautioned
against their evil ways. every effort being made
to get them sent regularly to school. Those who
ire mischievous, and cannot be reformed by their
parents, nor induced by persuasion nor intimida-
ion to give up their evil ways, will be sent. if pos
be to the House of Reformation for Juvenile
Offenders. And all such as commit frequent !
;rimes OF an aggravated nature. will be prosecuf-
ID according to law, when conviction and SELL
ence TO imprisonment will assuredy follow.
This Association has existed but a very short {
line. but great good has already resulted. We
ave only to add an ardent hope, that the inhabi-
ants of other parts Of the city will initiate this d
xcellent example.
