ANOTHER VITaIoI. NAN AT LARGE WHERE
ARE TIE Police p The fen6ish practice OF
throwing yitrol npon the dresses o! ladies.
sc me years ago, and still more recently, has
been again revived. On Sunday evening last
two ladies, while returning home, with q
friend, from a sacred concert at the City As
teDbiy Rooms, had their dresses destroyed by
vitriol. The dresses which were shown to us
by the gentleman who accompanied them,
were OF the wost costly elk and velvet, and
were so badly damaged as to be unf. for fur
theE use.
About seven years ago young physician.
who had INDUCED in the malicious Amusement
for long time, in Broadway aud other
principal thoroughfares, was at last ar
rested and committed to the city prison,
where he put an end to his life by inhalng
chlorotorm In his case the police were also
grossly and culpably remiss in the perfor
nance of their duty. A few years later an

suicide, and the punishment Of the second
criminal, seem to have had little or no effect.
if we may Judge from the revival of the prac-
tice There is one thing certain, however
that if the police were as vigilant as they
should be such fendiah acts could never be
committed with impunity. Are the recent or

District Court.

The Sixth District Court of this parish met
on Monday last, Hon. W. B. RoBERrsoN
presiding. The Court charged the grand ju-
ry that for several terms the grand jurors had
been discharged for want of anything to
do but he was sorry to say that he had been
informed, that there was an unusual amount
of criminal business TO be brought before
them, at the present term. He called the at
~tention Of the jury to the condition of the
public buildings especially the Court House
and Jail and gave them a very feeling illus
tration Of the necessity OF having a suitable
Court House, by abiding TO the shivering
condition Of the Court, the Jury, the Bar and
the audience THE mercury stood low, the
cold wind crept in at numerous c~revices, rain
was pouring down, and the Sheriff In attempt
ing to start a fire was compelled to desist as
the smoke appeared to have taken a great an
tipathy to %mingling with the outer atrnos-
phere, and sought a habitation within the
time mo,a precincts Of the Court.) But warm
weather was even more Objectionable in such
abuilding, as the jury room is in the attic,
the temperature of which, in summer days:
would prove almost uninhabitable to the Sal.
amafaier- King himself. He next called their
attention to mn old pile of logs back of the
Court room, which at one period entertained
the title of jai, but for some years past had
been tenanted only by horses. bats, cows,
and rats. That he wished the jury to reporf
upon these nulsances and the Court would
endeavor to apply the remedy, as the Police
Jury appeared to be utterly oblivious of these
crying evils.
The Court then proceeded to the assign
ment of causes, the first week being devoted
to the trial Of the recused docket from pointe
Conpee.
II the Judge succeeds in CONVINCING the
Police jury of the necessity Of abating the
nuisances above alluded to, he will receive
the thanks OF the whole community, but es-
peeiaiiy of that portion of it. who are COM
PEELED TO be in attendance upon the Courts OF
this parish.
