The weather so far this fall is most re-
markable and unreasonable. 1t is now near
the middle of November, period when it is
usually cold, with rain and sometimes snow,
and the ground not unfrequently frozen
The weather for weeks past this season has
been quite as warm in the day time as Sep
TENDER usually is, and the nights are only
moderately cold, there being frost only sell

EXTREMITY dusty, and building operations and
all kinds of outdoor work is going on with
as little interruption from the weather as
would be experienced in any fall month.

Since our last issue, Mr. Gaylord, Marshal
of the city, in answer to our enquiry as to
his whereabouts on the occasion of late
disturbance, informs us that we was at home
at that particular time, attending to his pri-
vate affairs, and that, as the city pays him
nothing, he does not regard it his duty to
run up and down the street, seeking bust
ness. This we believe is the substance of
the statement made to us by Mr.. Gaylord,
and we have this to say in reply, that we
hardly think when the present officials of the
city sought and accepted Office without pay,
that it was my part Of the understanding or
contract that because they got no pay they
were to do no work and besides, we under
stand, that the Marshal does get pay in the
shape of fees and costs. Mr. G. is also Col.
iector, for which we suppose he is literally
paid. We are still of the opinion, at any
rate, that we might as well be without Of
ficers if they are exonerated from official du.
ty because they get no pay. They are not
so exonerated. If man accepts an Office
without salary he is bound to discharge the
duties of that office just as faithfully as he
would do if the Office was ever so profitable
