STEALING PAPERs.---T here is now, and
has been for some time gang of boys in this city
who employ their early morning hours in stealing
the daily newspapers from the doors of subscribsrs
and afterwards selling them to travellers at the va
rious Railroad Depots This praci ice is carried on
to such extent that some of the Subscribers re-
fuse to pay the carriers when their subscriptions
are due, because their papers have not been re.
ceiged. Under the law, the punishment for steais
ing newspaper is just as severe as for stealing
$40 in money; and, by way of protecting the refa-
ders OF the Dispatch against these news lifters we

TEMPERANCE ANsIvspsaRY-TheS Sons
Of Temperance have in contemplation the celebra-
ton of the anniversary of the Order in the United
States on the 10Th Of September next and to that
end some of the Divisions in this city are already
making arrangements. 1t 10 proposed, we believe.
to have an oratiou, procession and o dinner. aud
to invite the members of the Order in Petersburg
to participate. There iscertaiDly work enough in
the field OF fntemperance to employ the "Sonse
actively for many years to come. and II they resolve
upon public demonstration, it is hoped that they
will so bend their energies as to mako it worthy
of the great cause they advocate. Unless the
celebration can be gotten up is pop style, it had
better not be undertaken.
