CITY AFFAIRS.

CARELESS DR1vING.-The police officers almost daily
lodge complaints before the Mayors court in relation
TO the carelessness OF drivers of vehicles in the city
Inc offenders are invariably brought up and either
punished or hned Ii the offender establishes fair
character Tor careuness, &C. the Mayor generally per-
mlts the master or owner OF the team to pay fine in
lieu Of Furnishing the driver but if the same fellow shall
be arrested second time for like offence he goes
below-even money can't him them The latest
and most aggravated of careless driving occurred
in Rockets on the 9th instant. On that day negro
fellow employed by Mr.. Blan to haul timber drove his
wagon through Rockets at rapid pace. This fellow,
though cautioned at the outset continued to increase
the speed of his ''cattle till they became nearly un-
manageable and in attempting to turn the of
OF the streets in Rockets, ran the wheels Of his wagon
on the side walk, knocking down and gripping fine
little fellow about q years of age, of Mr. IT, Ste
venson The wheels of the wagon passed over the left
ankle of the little fellow, crushing them so Sc
riously as probably to render him cripple for wears,
if not for life This driver was yesterday brought before
the Mayor by Mr. Stevenson and ordered to be severely
punished

keeper in the city would consult comfort, convenience
and economy, by purchasing family right.
