CITY ITEMS.
DRuYKARD- MAKERs.-There is a very fragrant out
rage daily perpetrated upon little children in this
City, which ought to be Immediately suppressed. II
is the selling TO them by keepers OF csndyshops, OF
randy and alcoholic liquors inclosed in gum or candy
drops. We heard, yesterday, land many occasions
beretofore) Of brandy-drops sold to small boys. by
somebody near Jefferson Market. II is difficult TO
conceive more depraved act than this, and there
should be very prompt measures taken to suppress
the dangerous business. These brandy -drops were
originally got up for those very refined women who
could not endure the fatigue Of an hours shopping
without stimulant which, it is to be feared, they
were too intimately acquainted with at home. This,
in itse is bad enough; but to have confectionery ga
looms turned into illegal rumshops, is much worse;
while the arociy Of pedsliDg rum-poison to inno-
cent children creating in them an appetite that may
one day transform them into drunksIds is 90 appal-
ing in ts very nature, that is almost impossible TO
believe that there who do il. If there is
no law to stop this villany, one should be immedi
ately enacted We should rather not stand in the
shoes Of Of these candyrumselers, when receiv-
ing call from father whose little boy has been
ceaxed into ruch shop, only to come out of il in
state of intOxication. The temptation TO execute
summary justice would require power Of moral for
bearsnce to resist which, we suppose, very few
possess.
KITES AND wIREs.-It lie little singular th.t the
original telegrapbic apparatus OF Franklin should be
complained Of now interfering with the modern
methods. 1t appears, however, that the prsstics Of
flying kites N the City Of New Yssh i. source of
serious expense and damage to the telegraph CON-
panies, by reason of becoming entsngled in the
wires and tying them together, or by acting In wet
weather conductors between them, preventing the
free operation Of the telegraph until they are sep
grated.
MoRr FnLIBUsrERISG.-We learn that the. old
Boston steamer Massachusetts is bound on 6ll-
clustering expedition having arms on board, and 10
now in the North River waiting for an engineers
crew, to take her to sea. Two crews were on board
yesterday afternoon but soon as they had noticed
the state Of affairs they left.
IspIcInEsr AGAINST ScHUYLER.-We understand
that the Grand Jury have found two bills Of indict-
ment against Robert Schuyler, late President OF the
New Haven Railroad Compsny-cne for embezzle-
ment and one for grand larceny.
A MEAN HoAx-Henry Depew, Of North Fourth
IT, Willism.burgh, complains that be and some 800
other laboring men were deFsudsd OF their time oy
a person at No 59s Washing ton-st., who falsely ad
vertised for to chop wood. No such employ
ment was to be feund there. The place is . low
GROCERY, and the applicants were laughed ct and
abused by the keeper of the house.
ALARMING NorIcE-WHIrE PEOPLE roR SALEM
NEw.YoRK-We have been told for many years thst

lowing official notice. Issued according to law, bya
