Penu Thierinc. We hear fteonentIy nefsons

Petty Thiering. We hear frequently persons
complaining Of the non-receipt of their papers,
and of course the carriers are charged with ne
glcct and delinquency, in not serving their sub
sCribers The cause Of many persons not re-
Ceiving their papers Is no fault OF the carriers,
but is owing to a system Of petty thleving
which some Of the news boys follow around
town. Furnished with piece OF wire, bent III
the shape of hook at the end, they 90 around
the city, after the carriers have served their
subscribers, and steal from under the doors and
windows the papers, which they sell in the day,
at the depots aud steamboat landings. Such
thieving is vexatous, and the only proper
remedy would be for persons TO have some Sc
cure places where their papers may be deposit
ed and from which they can not be "spirlted."
| We do not pretend to say that all news boys
! follow this practice, but some few we know OF
! have been caught in the act and are of far diff
ferent character, to the many honest lads who
team penny" by selling papers around town.
We know it to be provoking to be deprived OF
newspaper before breakfast, without SO much
as saying "by your leave" but the above will
| probably satisfactorily explain the cause of the
deprivation.
appropriate Present. The teachers Of the Ca
/ roline st. Methodist Episcopal Sunday School,
on Sunday afternoon, presented Master Henry
/ Bascom Rldgeway, late a scholar, now teach
er of the School, with large and beautiful
edition of Clarke's Commentaries on the Bible,
| in six volumes, as a testimony of their esteem
and affection. The presentation WIS made by
| MIR. Kimberly, who prefaced it with few ap-
propriatc remarks, to which Master Ridgeway
most happily responded, on receiving the pre-
sent. 1t was gotten up in private, and the re-
ceiver was unaware of such an intention on the
part of his brother teachers, until few mo-
mens before the presentation which took
place in the presence of the scholars of both the
male and female schools.
Contemplated MOnlunentto Co.. Watson. The
citizens of old "Deptford Hundred,' in which
part of our city the late Col. VIM. II. Watson
was born, raised and lived up to the time of his
departure for the seat of war; have it in con-
temptation to erect monument to his memory
in the lot attached to the Eastern Fountain
The City Councils, at their regular session, will
be pcttioned to grant the privilege asked; and
we have no doubt of their unanimous concur
renee. Apart from the honor due a worthy
citizen, who died in the defence Of his coun-
try rights, the proposed monument will be an
exceedingly beautiful ornament for public
square. His remains, it is expected will be
brought on with those Of the lamented Ring
gold

The Election. As the day approaches for the
Mayorality election, the contest begins to wax
warmer and warmer, with fair prospect of
getting up to something more than blood heat
The friends of the two prominent candidates
for Mayor, seem each to be songuine of sue
cess, but as both are so certain of being elected
we must patiently await forty-eight hours
longer before the suspense will be over. Con-
siderable betting has been going on, statute TO
the contrary Notwithstanding, and "even up"
and Colds are freely offered on both sides. How
the contest will end is hard to determine by
Guessing" but we opine that the winner will
not have much to brag of, no matter who he
be. We say success to the lucky candidate.
