Reprehensible Sport.--An humble cigar mer-
a complaint against four young men,
whom he accused of seriously molestng him while
in the peaceable pursuit of his business. 1t APP
peared, from the examination before Justice Smith,
that they first began their amusement by criti-
cising his nose--in the natural formation of which,
it is reasonably 10 be supposed, he had no agency
whaever-and then threw cat at him; and,
during their series of performances, hurled can
dies at his head, and annoyed him in all possible
ways. His clerk had even made them present
of cigars, but this did not win them To propriey
and il was not until they had fastened the mer-
chant in his own house, and locked the door, and
threatened TO whip him, that "iorbearanee ceased
10 be virtue"
In his broken German accent he graphically
lated the various kinds OF bad treatment, unpro-
voked, which he had received AT the hands of "te
Young gentlemcns." lie would have been justified
in beating the offenders from his premises, but he
preferred the protection Of the law. Accordingly,
the Justice required them TO give security TO keep
the peace. They evidently were abashed at their
conduct, and hung their heads in shame
We trust that they and all others who similarly
indulge in sport ut other peoples expense, will
solve for the future 10 avoid all such dsrcpulal,e
