average on duty and that they average each about
$4,000 in property, and over 1000 lives nther onica

discharge OF their duties they contribute much TO the
general comfort security and happiness OF society by
their wntchiulness they prevent evil preserve the
peace aid in causing an Observance OF the laws, and
otherwise perform services Of importance to the inter
ests Of property and comfort othe citizens For this they
receive recompense none too liberal Their Office Is
one which not only requires the public confidence and
respect but as general rule deserves it, yet men in
authority make general charges against the department
unworthy of them and thus weaken the executors OF
the law and perhaps prevent somewhat the good they
might do Men who make charges should be specinc,
and if found traducing the Police for fashions sake It
would be but Just sentence them 10 the ordinary SER
vice the Police day and night for one months time All
the expenses of the Police collected spread out,
and held up TO the public with request for au ibc
public groans for the extravaganza, but nothing said
of the thousands of dollars which are recovered aud

stander says, That's always the way-the police
never come till the fight is all over " and perhaps the
papers come cut with full account Of the affair, with
| all the blows and blood, and closing query Where
were the policein After some further remarks the
Company again formed and marched to the ferry,
| homeward bound.
