TIE DECEMBER report OF the Chief Of Police
states that there has not been, since the last
monthly report, any disturbance of the public
peace other than those Incident TO intoxication
He regrets to be compelled say that he wit
messed greater amount of Drunkenness and es-
peclally pith the youth Of tbs eity, on aud about
the Christmas holidays, than ever before on a
similar occasion.
There have been arrested and brought to the
guard house Of the city during the month 429
persons; twenty light Of whom were arrested for
stealing, i0I were for various other offences or
these, 800 are whites and I23 colOred. The males
number 3S2 and the females &c. The white fe-
males are % and the colored IS.
THE PAvFMKNrs.-The condition of the pave
meEts in various parts of the city has been a
cause Of much complaint; and latterly the atten-
ton Of the police has been directed to preventing
the tearing of them by the carelesness of person
driving their horses over them. Yesterday, a
colored man, driver for one Of our principal
mercantile houses, was fined 81 so for driving
upon the pavement. II will serve az a warning
to others, and will probably prevent this hitherto
common practice. The law has not been as
strictly enforced as II might have been, but the
evil surpa>ses endurance; and frequent com
plants demand strict enforcement Of the law.

WINTER SHOES.

Halls Journal of Health gives the

man himself begins to die at the ex.

10 joyous triumph at disease and the
doctors.
"Put on two pair of thick wooden
stockings, but keep this to yourself;
go to some honest son of st. Crispin,
and have your measure taken for a
stou: pair of winter boots or shoes;
shoes are better for ordinary use, as
they allow the ready escape of cdors,
while they strengthen the ANGLE, ac-
customing them to depend on them
selves. A very slight accident is
sufficient to cause sprained aHcie to
a habitual boot wearer- Besides a
shoe congresses less, and hence adj
mits of a more vigorous circulation

ride or travel. Give directions, also,
70 have no cork or India rubber about
the shoes but to place between the
layers Of the soles, from end to end,
n piece OF stout hemp or tow liuen,
which has been dipped in melted
pitch. This is absolutely imperyious

while we know that cork does,
and after awhile becomes 'soggy' and

them on for the first time, they are
as easy as an 'old shoe, and you NAV
