out OF the fact that greater speed OF the sickle Is
necessary :or IN owing thanis required for reaping Is
overcome in this machine by the use of two pin.

NIeur PoLrcE.--One OF the Night Police
inquiries Of the Gazette, "what part of the
duty devolyed by law upon the Night Police
is not performed by the members of the
same!" During the last three months
more depredations have been committed in
our city than during all of last year. AL
most every night we hear of attempts al
burglary, and our citizens are ~fearfel OF re.
firing these warm. nights unless every win
dow is closed. We know not who are 0 u
night police, nor their number, nor indeed
of any of their actions, but we do know
they are apparently of little service; wheth,
er this arises from their ineficiency or the
want of numbers, we cannot say, but thai
such is the fact cannot be denied.

COUNCIL PRoCEEDINGs.-The City Coun-
Gil at a special session held last week,
adopted the resolutions introduced at a pre-
Vious meeting to effect u loan Of $4,000,
when, it will be remembered, they adjourn
cd SO hastily to mollify the perturbed feel.
ings Of the Street Commissioner. An ordi
nance extending Fourth street westward,
eighty feet in width, was passed. A petit
ton from Mrs. Shields to erect a frame
building within the fire limits was denied.
A petition presented by Robert s. Skinner
ITO prevent certain persons from talking
across his garden fence, thereby endanger-
ing the good manners OF his children" was
referred to an appropriate committee. The
notice Of the election for the loan was or
dered to be published in the Democrat so
that nobody would see it. On motion Of
Aid. Corbin, Aid. Schutt was directed to
cause the bridge on Gaines street to be re-
paired forthwith and present his bill TO the
Council, the Street Commissioner being too
much engaged on Harrison street to devote
any attention to Gaines street. The mat
ter Of grading and paving Fifth street was
referred to the City Attorney. His honor,
the Mayor, was then allowed the sun OF
eight dollars, which his honor, the Mayor,
had paid for q seal for the city Of Daven-
