NEWPORT NE gVs.

TRoUBLoUs TINES I'm view, we presume
that we seem veTging on troublous times,
the Mayer intends at the next meeting of
Council to submit a proposition, which sug-
gests that he is in time of peace preparing
for war. He is of the opinion that the Police
force Of the city is inadequate for the times,
and he asks that Council shall appoint one
or more policemen from each ward, and that
he be authorized to appoint 100 men to aid
the City Marshal in case an emergency
should present ITSELF but that they shall not
draw pay only when in active service. Are
we, upon the borders, really in such danger.
AS 10 the night watch that would be we'll
enough, but we reckon the 100 men will
hardly be wanted; but if they were, is not
the Sheriff empowered to call them out?
SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.-About the mid
die of last month man-name unknown
of apparent genteel exterior, arrived at Rich
enour's Tavern, distance some nineteen
miles from Newport, in the upper part of
the county, with pair Of large sorrel bay
mares, attached 10 an ordinary looking
buggy, the harness being nearly new, and
aiighted, asking to remain oil night. His
request was of course complied With. Ia
the morning he intimated to the landlord
that he had business which would call him
away day or two, and desiring that his
horses should be well attended to in his ab-
sence, departed. What is most singular, a
month has elapsed and that man has not
since been heard of, ond the horses are still
where he left them. Can he have met with
foul play, or were the horses stolen and he
afraid to return for them? .....
