Funeral Of Bill Pcole-Diseased
Public Sentiment.

TO see the fnss and noise that is max.
ing abon t the death of the late Poole, one
might su oppose that he had been a patriot,
a useful citizen, a man to be proud Of
Instead whereof, as every one knows he
was one of a set Of rufians who have Cur,
sed this city for many years; and met ali
death at the hands Of another rulIian IN a
drunken frolic. Yet crowds assembled tc
see him buried. Meetings are held to ex.
press sympathy for him; and the news2a-
pers are full Of news of what he said and
and what he did, and what the other mem.
bers Of the rufian band do or say. There
is here great cause for shame and sorrow.
Public sentiment must be greatly diseased
when The death Of a man like Poole can
create such a sensation, and the attendant
circumstances awaken such an interest as to
compel the press to minister largely to it
We ought every one of Us to feel deep bur
ming shame for what is going on around US.
