A CArAcGoUs GARRETT BAG.-lTeanncss

lesson to all concerned, especially TO the
victim. On the Cleveland cars a day or
two since, coming to Buffalo, was Il stall
wart man, going to New York to buy
goods. He was not what might be call
ell a stingy man, but he was one, who
when there wasa ccnttluc him that swind-

had started from Cleveland without any
breakfast, and 7fhcn Erie hove in sight,
he gathered himself up for q general skir-

He had q carpet bag with him, and go
ing into the dining room at Erie, dcpos-
tied his carpet bag on one chair, while he
took another by its side. Hc was lost for
about ten minutcs-perrectly oblivious to
anything, save that he had blessed con-
sciousncss of something rapidly and agree

time, the landlord came around and stop

all conversant with the subject must admit.
Under the law as it now exists. it is almost
impossible to puDish the offender, for although
he Mayor has done great deal for the prosec-
ton Of emgrants. be is utterly unable to pat q
stop to the frauds until the Legislature so after
or modify the ia that those who commis them
cannot escape the penalty. The suggestions Of
Mr.. Senior are worthy the consideration OF the
Legislative Committee, aud We trust that if they
ale not followed ont they will at least lead to
the adoption of some plan for the redress of the
many outrages to which emigrants are sub
jected.

The elections already held for the Congress

the South will be perfectly secure 10 their COZ

Nearly ami lion Of property consumed with
in the space of six months! Startling as ia this
amount OF loss, it is nothing in comparison with
the fact that out of these one hundred aud
seventy three fires, nearly one-third were the
work of incendisries! And yet we are told that
in the last six months there is decrease of
thirty De iDcendiary fires, aud that at season
when the opportunities for these crimes more
readily present themselves. When we compare
these results with the losses occssioned By the
same causes in the great European cities, the
conviction forces itself upon US that our police
authorities have not been as active and vigilant
in these cases as they might have bsea. The
amer dment shown in the report in the last six
n oDihs is, however, evidence that the appoint
nent of the Fire Marshal, aided by the restless
energy Of our new May or, has given stimulus
to the watchfulness Of the police which in time
will have the effect of reducing the losses from
incendiary 6res to a comparatively tri1ing
amount.
In pointing out the various causes Of acci-
dental fires, the Fire Marshal dweils on the
fact that in most cases these casualties are at
tributable to imperfections in the principles on
which our buildings ore cons ructed H.
shows that as long as owners and
contractors are left unvisited by any
legal punishment for unsubstantal and dan
gerous work, these accidents will be neses
ssri)y of frequent occurrence He calls for
the enactment OF law or ordinance imposing
fine and imprisonment on builders or persons
authorizing the erection of buildings " tn walls
less than sixteen inches, or fues less than eight
or twelve inches in thickness. He also would
make it penal to place any wood wosk within q
distance Of less than twenty inches from the ch n
ney or furnace fues To enforce these regua-
tions be recommends the app ointment of building
inspectors, rs in Loudoo and Paris. to visit ali
new works and to report all infcactions of the
law to The authorities Ia all these suggestions
we heartily concur, and we trust that they will
receive the attention tbey merit.
There is another subject touched upon by Mr..
Baker with the bearings of which we are not so
familiar. but to which h seems to attach great
Importance, nancy, the classification of drugs.
We are afraid that there may be some practical
difficulties in the way of his recommendations
being carried out, nut the ubject at all events
deserves investigation. In the meanwhile we
are clad to find the anticipatons which we had
expressed of the utility Of the creation OF this
tflice so fully borne out by the intelligence
and conscIentiousness displayed in MS report.
