lection OF music secured Ivy years subscription
to this work could not be had in any other way
for less than one hundred dollars.
OuR STREETS, AND THE LoAYERs.-There are
lying loose around this city, lot OF old soakers'
who have never. to the knowledge OF the oldest m
habitant been convicted Of doing an honest days
work They prowl around town, stealing little
here. and begging q little there, until they raise
sufficient amount Of the circulating medium to
purchase liquor enough to make them drunk. AS
their skins are properly soaked with mean
whiskey. they lay down in some prominent place,
there to exhibit their beastly propensitics. until
some officer abates the nuisance by carrying ihe
balmy party before the Mayor, who can do nothing
but send him for few days to jail to be fed and
warmed ut the expense of the city. H. when
these individuals are sent up they could only be
put at some kind of labor that would keep them
from dying of pure laziness, and be source OF
revenue to the city. there would he some use in
picking them up. But, as the case now stands,
it's only subscribing their vagabondism, to commit
them to the city prison, and there are too many
worthy objects Of charity in midst who are
really suffering for food and warmth, to think Of
ALLOWING these loafers to be fed out of the public
pocket. We would earnestly commend this sub
ject to the attention of the Street Committee. Our
Streets are in bad condition, and it fakes no In
considerable sum to put them in good order
hands are emplovcd to do this work, and they
hive to I've paid, while our Jail is filed with ,aSa-
bonds and loafers. who subssting III idleness.
ut the expense Of the tax payers. This Is an
abuse. which ought not to exist. and one that can
be easily remeded. Let the Street Committee, on
the Council, order the Mayor 10 have them -, to
work at on the Streets, and our word for II,
the city will soon be relieved Of their presence.
