nnfrequent occurrence, and that too in the very
midst OF some Of cur most respectable females and

tware, whole bands of rowdies who every warm
and dry Sunday frequent Hoboken, SO do many
others-but with different views. Well, then, on
last Sunday evening, on the Barclay Street Boat,
there came over of these bands who Gu
up all sorts OF capers, and also used obscene Ian
gusge, until we approached this side, when they
went farther, and endeavored to trip up lady, bu
resent the insult by knocking down the aggressor
wherein all the band some eight or ten IN number,
began to belabor the gentleman with sticks, NC ;
but the tables were soon turned, Tor every gentle
nan on board who had seen the occurrence, arose
and gave the aggressors what they richly deserved

secured. ! believe that tive FreDchmen were
pretty well hurt Should not the Messrs. Stevens

out three, two, or even one constable on board Of
every Sunday boat, so that when the offender oil
offenders might be secured, they or he could take
MIN or them in charge and lodge them safely in the
rombs? or should not the engineer stop until the
passengers could secure them, thereby preventing
their escaping the punishment which the offence
deserves.
