The Albany Register does up the follow
ing The city fathers ought to see that the
lamp posts are set more firmly in the ground
We saw fast young man, with budding NOUS
tache, and who ought to be in better business,
holding up one, last night between nine and ten.
1t was harder physical labor than he was accus-
toned to do, and one of his age ought to have
some lighter work assigned him. We advised
him as lawyer, that it was no part of his duty
as citizen, to spend his time in keeping the
lamp posts in place, and that he would be fully
justified by law, in letting it go to smash. He
offered us dollar as a counsel fee, but declined
following our advice. We left him in the per-
formance of what he regarded as moral, if not
u legal duty.
