TorGu cusroHER.-Landon Schell, one OF the
most sraceless vagabonds with when our city Is
at present infested, was found on MAN street u,
II late hour Monday night, beastly druhK' ana
conducting himself very unciviilv. lie was eA-
ceedingly contentious, ana gave eVi1ehce vi IL"
amazing desire,to engage IN hsucun win some
body,or something. In the miast OF ms PuSii'soc
demonstrations he was overhauled Dy se'era, vi
stand that such conduct would not be tolerated on
the public streets. To- this speech Monsieur Shell

place for the hellicose individual, was the cage.
In execution Of this thought, Mr.. Shell was sdon

conducted to the cage. When brought before the
Mayor next morning, ne was required |" give

was sent to Jail.
Shell is one of the individuals who was arrested
and put in jail on the suspicion Of being concerned
in the numerous fires which occurred in this city
two years since. A few months prior thereto lac
was taken up in Bedford on the charge of running
away with some money which had been placed in
his hands for safe keeping, and on that occasion,
escaped the Pententiary by the skin of his teeth.
If there is other way by which To rid the
city of his presence, would advise that he he
placed in the chain gang and put to work on our
dirty streets. That sort of treatment, we opine.
would have more beneficial effect than any other
that could be tried.
