for an amendment of the laws in reference to buildings
erected in an illegal manner It asks that instead OF the
imposition OF fine, the buildings should be removed.
On the whole the report is very interesting and able
one doing honor to the charat OF Mr. Anderson
energetic man and an able writer.
RoBBiSo AN,EMpLoyER-DAsHrNo CLERKs.-On Friday
evening young man named Hughes, arrested by
Captain Kurtz Of the Second ard Police charged with
stealing from his employer His employer is John War
ren cutlery merchant in Maiden lane Hughes has
been in his employ only about MONTH and during that
time many articles Of fine cutlery have been missed by
his smployer-but without charging Hughes with the
theft he still kept eye him. Hughes had been in
the habit OF selling the stolen goods at different hard
no a. very low un Thursday he
sale lot of fine cutlery, at about one.thrd its value
The proprietor OF the store suspected it stolen but
st bought IT. and told Hughes to bring all he had lie
then Immediately went to several hardware giving
description of Hughes, aud making inquiries whether
any property had been lost. He finally reached MIR
Warrens store and upon relating circumstance to
him he Immediately knew that Hughes the =
lie accordingly went to Alderman Stoneall who
ed policeman at the door of the where Hughes
had sold the cutlery who when he with another
lot arrested him Hughes then acknow lodged that since
ne mad been in the employ OF Mr. Warren he had bee
IN the constant habit OF purloning goods and with
an officer to different places where between two and
was fully committed for trial This information
we received from source which rely
Hughes is young man about % years of age,
with fine education having prepared himself Tor
the study Of medicine lie has spent most OF
the proceeds Of his thets in sporting and dress.
We fancy, if the truth known, many more clerks
might be found guilty OF precisely such transactions
How is II that young men OF poor parents come from
the country and procure cerkshps with but very small
salaries, and dress and sport of the downtown
clerks do, we'cannot imagine unless it is iy such
means as Hughes has taken. Most young men the
first two or three years of their ceTksip receive but
just about enough to pay their board while find many
Of them dressing like mllionares and spending their
evenings at the theatres balls and fashionable drinking
houses, sporting their money though they felt lack
OF it. Our merchants must watch them much closer
than they have heretofore done.
