Unfortunate Marine.-On Wednesday after
noon, large crowd gathered around United
States marine, who lay PROSTATE on Pennsylvania
avenue, near the immortal Tiber.
He had lost his hat and coat, and the power Of
locomotion, too, in his devotons 10 Bscchus.
Two sharpeyed policemen hurried TO the scene,
and Immediately set about the work of removing
him but this they were unable TO do, until, in
"the name ofthe United States they summoned
two or three untitled citizens to their aid. The
marine was carried along lengthwise, his face up
turned 10 the sky; man, tottering beneath the
weight at each leg and Occasionally, he
would jerk loose his legs and attempt TO kick
those who had him in charge. Being inconve-
nienty hard to manage, So far, the procession
halted, when one of the policemen tied his wrists
together while the other placed his foot on his
stomach to keep him still meanwhile But for the
holding of his shoes by other parties, the binding
of the obstreperous private would have been no
easy matter. The Office of the police magistrate
for the fnh ward was, fortunately, not far off; and
thher he was conveyed--as far as the door; the
ground there serving both for his bed and pillow.
The poor fellow was carted TO the workhouse, as
punishment for his indiscretion. II is not pro-
bable that the corporal authority at the barracks
will relax the penalty which he has incurred by
his over-indulgence in and exposure from strong
drink. This is paying dearly for the whistle"

Forestalling.-The fifth section Of the act tc

said. or which may hereafter be fixed by law, fol-
the purpose of selling them again in said markets
in any of them, or in any part of the city, under
penalty of Ten dollars for each and every of
fence"
This is the law. Would that we could add it is
strictly enforced. The forestallers regulate the
markets; and tend to keep up the present high
prices of"provsions" and fruits" and not only
this, but their measures are not in all cases ac-
cording 10 the standard.
Some time ago, Mr.. Fitzpatrick made a move
ment in the board of aldermen to remedy these
evils; but the subject still sleeps in that body.
