by the new police establishment is under 500. It'll.
believed by System and Simultaneous action

the present force can effect.
We do not mean to find fault with the present
force they doubtless do all they can with their pre-

soldiers, become doubly useful and efficient by
good drill and good regulations. When the new
establishment goes into operation, we must not be

Police act without arms, and are the admiration OF

Another use for Indian Rub5cr.-An English
paper says that Caoutchouc is an excellent
remedy for toothache. After the cavity ofthc
tooth is cleansed, a piece of Caoutchouc is put
on a wire, and being softened in the fame OF d

Thus the air is kept from the nerve, and the
cause of toothache removed.
